New Cannon® Manual Downriggers:
Engineered for High Performance and Easy
Operation
RACINE, Wis. (July 2012) – Continuing its tradition of
innovation, Cannon® introduces its new line of manual downriggers with a rugged,
lightweight, ergonomic design that is perfect for controlled-depth
fishing.
“More and more anglers are targeting multiple species of fish,”
Cannon Senior Product Manager Dave Maryanov said. “Their boats have to be rigged
for a diverse range of fishing techniques. We designed our new manual
downriggers with that in mind. They’re simple to operate, dependable, and
deliver extremely high performance, while still being low profile to accommodate
smaller boats.”
Cannon’s exclusive clutch control allows anglers to
deploy the weight gradually rather than using a sudden stop and start method,
allowing for very accurate depth positioning and bait presentation.
The
new manual downriggers include a dual axis rod holder which can be adjusted side
to side or up and down. They also have an improved boom end with a closed pulley
system to prevent the cable from slipping off the reel. In addition the new
manual downriggers include a redesigned ergonomic crank handle.
The
mounting base is the same design used for Cannon’s electric downrigger models.
By having the same base for both electric and manual downriggers, Cannon models
can be swapped out quickly and easily as needed.
The new Uni-Troll models
have a retrieve rate of two feet per spool rotation. This makes the downrigger
weight retrieval incredibly fast and efficient.
The new Cannon manual
downriggers (includes Uni-Troll™ 5 ST, Uni-Troll 10 STX, Uni-Troll 10 STX-TS and
Easi-Troll™ ST) will be available in the fall with a suggested retail price
range of $189.99 to $449.99.
