Directions for Using as a Downrigger Release

1. Attach a 12 inch stainless wire (#5 in image) to your downrigger canon ball (#6 in image) using a swivel at the canon ball (to prevent twisting the wire).
2. Following the Fixed Slider directions, place a #31 size rubber band (#3 in image) in the Fixed Slider (#4 in image), and attach the fixed slider to the 12 inch stainless wire.
3. After letting your trolling spoon, cut bait, fly or other lure out the desired distance from the boat, loop the rubber band around the fishing line (#1 in image).
4. Release the action of your fishing reel, and lower the downrigger canon ball to the desired depth.
5. Carefully take up the slack in the fishing line and set the pole into a rod holder.
6. You will know when a fish hits!
