Cannon Uni-Troll 5 ST Manual Downrigger Trolling Kit

Equip your smaller boat for precision trolling with the Cannon Uni-Troll 5 ST Manual Downrigger Trolling Kit, a compact powerhouse designed for anglers chasing trophy fish like walleye, salmon, or lake trout. This all-in-one setup simplifies controlled-depth fishing, letting you dial in exact lure depths without the hassle of heavy gear or complex electronics. Whether you're navigating tight bays or open water, its innovative mechanical advantages make deploying and retrieving lines feel effortless, turning every outing into a productivity booster.

Key Advantages for Everyday Anglers

What sets this downrigger apart is its focus on user-friendly mechanics tailored for solo operators or small crews. The standout 2:1 retrieval ratio halves the cranking effort compared to standard models, so you spend less time winding and more time fighting fish. Picture this: you've hooked a striper deep—quickly reel in with minimal strain, thanks to the ergonomic crank handle that fits comfortably in any grip.

Built tough for freshwater and saltwater alike, the 24-inch stainless steel boom withstands brutal waves and repeated use, while the enclosed boom-end pulley keeps your cable snag-free during fast deployments. Anglers love the one-hand clutch deploy, which gives fingertip control over bait placement—no more guessing depths or fighting tangles.

Performance Features That Deliver Results

• Precision Depth Tracking: The three-digit analog counter lets you note and repeat hot depths from past trips, essential for pattern fishing in changing conditions.
• Versatile Mounting: Universal base swaps seamlessly with Cannon's electric downriggers, future-proofing your setup on kayaks, jon boats, or bass rigs.
• Pro-Grade Rod Management: Dual-axis adjustable rod holder pivots front-to-back and side-to-side, securing rods at perfect angles for live bait or divers.
• Smart Storage: Integrated hook holds your 6lb flash weight ready for the next run—no fumbling in the tackle box at dusk.
• Reliable Cable: Pre-spooled 200 feet of 150lb test stainless steel cable resists corrosion and kinks, backed by a composite spool for smooth spins.

Hit the water ready to troll with everything included: the Uni-Troll 5 ST downrigger, universal line release, swivel base, 6lb Cannon flash weight for superior underwater visibility, ergonomic crank, and line terminator. No piecemeal purchases—just unbox and fish.

Pro Tips to Maximize Your Trolling Success

For best results, pair the flash weight with snap weights or dodgers to create a bait spread that mimics fleeing baitfish schools. Deploy at 20-50 feet in early morning thermoclines where predators stack up. The dual-axis holder shines with heavy spinning rods—adjust side-to-side for optimal line angle. Rinse the stainless components post-saltwater to leverage that lifetime warranty fully. Small boat owners rave about its stability; the short boom hugs the gunwale without interfering with casting.
