CANNON 1901200 Mini-Troll Manual Downrigger

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 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.

*We recommend you mount Mini-Troll off the transom of your boat (if possible), so that the weight is being pulled directly behind the downrigger. Mounting your Mini-Troll the gunwale is not recommended as lateral stress on the frame may cause cracking.

TERMINATING THE DOWNRIGGER CABLE

NOTE: Use only straight cable when routing through the terminator. Worn or kinked cable can be stressed and may break prematurely when retrieving trolling weights.
NOTE: A set of pliers with wire cutters is recommended for this part of setup.

1. Unwind about 2 feet of cable and thread through the rubber cushion. Attach Swivel Snap to terminator.

2. Examine the top of the terminator and note the order shown in the detail to run cable.

3. Lead and pull six inches of cable through HOLE A. 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. Tighten cable by squeezing terminator until it snaps HOLE C shut. Then pull at top and bottom until drawn tight. Make sure that the cable threads the hook.
   NOTE: Use only straight cable, not kinked cable.

4. Slide the cushion over the top of the terminator and give it a test pull. The cable is now set to attach a Cannon Flash Weight™.

FISHING WITH THE MINI-TROLL DOWNRIGGER

1. The downrigger should be clamped to a solid and secure position on the transom of the boat. (Figure 1)
2. Use the Mini-Troll with a 4-lb. weight and line release (Figure 2), and rod holder. All are available in the Mini-Troll Accessory Pack (Part #2250005, sold separately). Attach the weight to the downrigger cable, and the release to the weight. Put the rod in the holder and clip your fishing line between the release pads.
3. Put your fishing reel into free spool so that the fishing line will be released as the downrigger weight is lowered.
4. With one hand on the downrigger reel handle, loosen the adjustment knob at the top center of the reel and lower the weight by turning the reel handle clockwise. One rotation of the reel equals 1 foot of depth. Do not let go of the reel handle while lowering the weight.
5. Once the weight is at the desired depth, tighten the adjustment knob to hold the cable in place.
6. Retrieve enough of the fishing line to put a deep bend in the fishing rod.
7. Your lure will trail behind the downrigger weight at your set distance. When you have a strike, the force of the fish striking the lure will pull the fishing line out of the release, detaching it from the weight (Figures 3 & 4). This will cause your rod to spring up, indicating that there is a fish on the line.
8. While you play the fish on the free line, the downrigger weight should be raised using the cable reel to avoid tangles. To retrieve the weight, loosen the adjustment knob and turn the cable reel handle clockwise. Once retrieved, tighten the adjustment knob to hold the weight out of the water..
