TERMINATOR & LINE RELEASE

Lead cable into

Pull six inches of cable through. Thread cable through swivel, then up into bottom of the terminator.

Lead cable out of HOLE B and into HOLE C. Push the cable until its end touches the inside of the terminator hook.

TIP: Use only straight cable, not kinked.

Tighten cable by squeezing terminator until it snaps

HOLE A shut. Then pull at top and bottom until drawn tight. Make sure that the cable threads the hook.

Swivel

Slide the cushion over the top of the terminator and give it a test pull.

The cable is set to attach a Cannon Trolling Weight.

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.
