Installing Accessories:
Float - the float slides directly onto the line. Slide the float on the line before installing the swivel
and hook.
Sinker – slide the line through the slit in the sinker and squeeze the sinker shut. Slide the sinker
on the line before installing the swivel and hook.
Swivel – Once you have installed either a float or sinker, tie the circle end of the swivel to the line.
Hook – Once the swivel is attached to the line, open the other end of the swivel like you would a
safety pin, and slide it through the circle of the hook. Close the swivel.
Casting Your Line:
1. Hold the line lock button down as you are preparing to cast your line.
2. Release as you cast to unlock the line.
Reeling In The Line:
Rotate the reel forward to draw in the line.
Drag Wheel:
The Fisherman Plus fishing line is rated for 8lbs. Use
the drag wheel to set the resistance that a fish feels
when pulling your line. This will help prevent the line
from breaking when you catch a fish that is larger
than 8lbs.
Accessing the Reel Compartment:
Press down and pull out on the compartment
latch to access the reel compartment (Fig.3).
