Terminating the Downrigger Cable
Cannon Uni-Release
The Cannon Uni-Release attaches directly to
the downrigger weight. Attach fishing line to the 
clip at the end of the release, and then click 
through a series of increasing tension settings. 
The 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. 
To change line release tension, turn tension knob 
to (+) to increase or (-) to decrease. Tension also 
may vary according to where the line is placed in 
the grips. 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 release, spread the 
release arms with thumb and forefinger applying 
pressure to the sides.
