For freshwater and saltwater competition anglers, the Uni-Trol 10 TS gets the job done.

December 1, 2006

When you're spending time on your boat as a freshwater and saltwater competition angler, having the best gear is crucial. CannonĀ® amplifies the competition for anglers with its new tournament series downriggers, offering a new high-performance, stainless-steel spool. The Uni-Trol 10 TS Tournament Series replaces the stainless-steel downrigger cable with a monofilament line,  circumventing cutting the fishing line if the fish runs across the downrigger line, which eliminates that humming noise when trolling with the cable. With a high-speed retrieval, the Uni-Trol 10 reduces cranking by raising the weight 50 percent faster. According to the company, the vertical stool allows a safe and steady, one-handed weight descent from its clutch/brake system. Other features include a heavy-duty telescopic boom, three-digit depth counter, low-profile swivel base, offshore saltwater line release  and rod holder. The Uni-Trol 10 retails for $399.99.
