#20 X 1 or 2
Item(s) needed:
a. Depending on the Downrigger, it will come with
either one or two Rod Holders. To secure the Rod
Holder(s) on the Downrigger Assembly, take one
or two Soft Grip Knobs (Item #20) and one or two
Spring Releases (Item #22). Place one spring on
the end of each Soft Grip Knob.
b. If the downrigger came with one Rod Holder,
determine which side of the downrigger to install
the Rod Holder on based on how your downrigger
is mounted and how it will be used. Once the
location of the Rod Holder is determined, take
the Dual Axis Rod Holder Arm (Item #26) and
turn it so that the short end of the elbow will be
placed against the Downrigger Assembly. The face
of the Dual Axis Rod Holder Arm that is installed
on the downrigger contains keyed teeth which are
matched on the Dual Axis Rod Holder Arm. These
keyed teeth will help to hold the position of the
knob and help to hold it in place when the position
of the holder is changed during use. Secure the
Dual Axis Rod Holder Arm with the Soft Grip Knob.

The Cannon Optimum downrigger comes with two Rear Mount Rod
Holders, while the Cannon Optimum TS comes with one. The Rod
Holder(s) incorporate a two-piece locking tooth design. This allows
independent adjustment of the Rod Holder along two axes, which
can be easily adjusted every 15° of rotation. The symmetrical
design will allow mounting of the Rod Holder on either side of the
downrigger or two Rod Holders at the same time. The spring along
the shaft of the Soft Grip Knob allows the knob to be loosened and
the Rod Holder to be indexed without fully disassembling it. To install, follow the steps below.
