Cannon Universal Stacker Release

The Cannon Universal Stacker Release is a compact line release mechanism designed for anglers running multiple trolling lines at depth. Whether you're targeting stripers, walleye, or lake trout, this release holds your weighted lines securely until a fish strikes, then cleanly trips to signal the bite and prevent tangled gear.

Built by Cannon—a trusted name in downrigger and trolling equipment—this universal stacker fits standard rigger ball arms and adapts to most setups without modification. Engineered for reliability in rough water, the Cannon Universal Stacker Release uses a spring-loaded jaw and adjustable tension to grip monofilament or braided line firmly yet release instantly under strike pressure. Its design ensures smooth operation even when deployed multiple times per day in cold water conditions.

Serious tournament anglers and charter captains rely on it because it reduces slack line, prevents premature trips from wave action, and keeps secondary lines organized on the ball arm. The compact profile keeps weight minimal while maintaining durability against saltwater corrosion and repeated deployment. Its universal design eliminates the need for proprietary adapters, making it compatible with Cannon downriggers, competition-grade stackers, and most third-party rigging systems.
