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.
