Controlled-Depth Fishing with the Mini-Troll
Controlled depth fishing enables fishermen to place a lure at
a desired depth by utilizing a downrigger. Because of varying
factors (water temperature, thermocline, weather, tides, time of
day, or time of year) it is necessary for successful fishing to
maintain specific water depths that coincide with fish movements
and feeding patterns.
One essential feature of the downrigger is the depth meter or
gauge that indicates lure depth. This allows the angler to control
the specific depth and return to depths where fish have been
caught before. With your new Mini-Troll downrigger you now
have a huge advantage by putting your lure where the fish are.
So using Cannon downriggers will make your fishing more
successful and more enjoyable.
Setting Up Your Downrigger
Terminator Instructions
Mounting to Your Boat
Depending on boat application,
the spacer block (supplied) may be
required. To attach the spacer block
to the main frame, simply slide the
dovetail shaped tab of the block into
the matching recess in the frame.
Make sure that the holes in the block
should face down.
Transom Mount
Depending on transom width, a
wood block may be required to allow
the rigger to clamp properly.
Gunwale Mount
On thin-walled aluminum boats,
it is recommended that a wood block
be used on the inside of the boat.
This will distribute the clamping force
to a larger area to prevent possible
boat damage.
Depending on rail overhang, a
wood block may also be required on
the outside of the boat.
Maintaining Your Downrigger
Freshwater Operation
At the beginning of each fishing season, place a drop of oil on the
cable reel shaft, the swivel head pulley bearings, and the cable reel thrust
bearings.
Saltwater Operation
Clean unit thoroughly after each trip and lubricate as above on a more
frequent basis.
