ATTAChING A LINE RELEASE
ATTAChING A LINE RELEASE
The last step in prepping the downrigger for fishing is to attach a
Line Release. To attach the Line Release, first attach a Cannon
Weight and then follow the steps below:
1
Item(s) needed:
a. Take the Release (Item #J or #S) and attach the
Snap Lock end of the Line Release to the Weight.
b. Release some line from the fishing rod and reel so
that the lure is anywhere from 5 to 100 feet behind
the boat. Determine a distance for the line from the
fishing pole to drop back from the Weight and select
a point for the line to be attached.
c. Twist a loop in the fishing line at the point that the
line would be attached. Attach the line from the
fishing rod firmly into the Clamp of the Line Release
at the loop created in the fishing line.
d. Click through a series of increasing tension settings
on the Clamp. The Line Release can be used with any
test line on salt or fresh water and may be adjusted
from 2 to 22 pounds of grip tension on the line.
e. Once the Line Release is attached to the fishing
line, make sure the Fishing Rod is held securely or
placed in a holder and open the reel so that line
can draw out.
f. Then set the downrigger depth to lower the Weight
to the desired depth in the water.
g. Once the downrigger Weight is at the desired depth,
reel up the slack on the fishing line so that your
fishing rod has a slight bend in it. When a fish
strikes the lure, the line will separate from the Line
Release. Then the fishing line will be free to fight
the fish and bring it up on the rod and reel.
NOTICE: To change the Freshwater Line Release tension, turn the Tension Knob towards (+) to increase or (-)
to decrease. Tension also may vary according to where the line is placed in the Grips of the Clamp. Higher
tension is on the line if it is set back toward the Hinge, and lower if set closer to the opening. To open the Line
Release, spread the Release Arms with thumb and forefinger applying pressure to the sides.
