Mattel Junior Bass Fishin', JUNIOR BASS FISHIN’ User manual

  • Hello! I am an AI chatbot trained to assist you with the Mattel Junior Bass Fishin' User manual. I’ve already reviewed the document and can help you find the information you need or explain it in simple terms. Just ask your questions, and providing more details will help me assist you more effectively!
It’s time to hit the lake and
reel ‘em in!
Remember, if you’re going Bass
Fishin’, you don’t have to be REALLY
BIG to catch a REALLY BIG fish!
Choose your favorite lure, cast your
line, and wait for those whoppers to
take the bait! If you watch out for the
occasional old boot or spare tire, you’ll
be reeling in a forty-pounder in no time!

Press the NEW GAME button to start a

and 2. NOTE: If you do not choose a
level, you will automatically play on
level 1. Once you’ve chosen your level,

Special Hint: Your Junior Bass
Fishin’ game will “go to sleep” when
there is no activity for about one (1)
minute. If you have not finished your
game before “sleep mode”, you will
automatically start a new game when
you “wake it up”.
CHOOSE YOUR LURE!
There are five special lures to choose
from. Each one acts differently in the
water and gives you a great chance to
catch a fish. But be careful, each lure
will tend to “snag” on different objects
floating in the lake.
Choose your lure by pressing the LURE
button. Press the button again to see
all of the lures available. The Lures
are:
Once you’ve decided on a lure, press
the ONCASTENTER button to tie it to
your line. NOTE: If you do not choose
a lure, you will automatically be given a
Worm. But don’t worry, as you know, all
fish love worms!
Now that you’ve chosen your lure, it’s
time to cast it into the water!
CAST YOUR LINE!
While holding the ONCASTENTER
button, make a quick, forward casting
motion. You will hear your line go out
and splash into the water.
Now, depending on the
lure you’ve chosen, your
hook will begin to sink.
You can turn the HANDLE
to reel it back toward the
boat or let it sink to go
after the fish near the
bottom of the lake. NOTE: If you
choose TOP WATER or CRANKBAIT
lures, they will not sink. You can turn
the HANDLE to reel it back toward the
boat or let it sink to go after the fish
near the bottom of the lake.
CATCH A FISH!
As you watch the fish swim by, try to
reel in your lure so it moves right in
front of the fish.

But Watch Out!
These waters are full of old boots, tin
cans, and spare tires. Try to reel in
your lure so it doesn’t snag on them.
But most importantly, be on the lookout
for the notorious POLE-EATING BAD
FISH! This nasty guy would like
nothing better than to eat your fishing
pole for breakfast—hook, line and
sinker! (Level Two only) So try to keep
your lure away from his big mouth or
else he will steal your whole fishing
pole!
REEL THEM IN!
When a fish bites your lure, the game
will shake. To make sure you got ‘em,
jerk the game backwards to “set the
hook.” Once the hook is set, turn the
HANDLE to reel in your fish! The game
will tell you how much your fish weights,
and then it’s time to cast your line and
go after another one!
NOTE: If there is no activity for about
one minute, Junior Bass Fishin’ will
automatically turn itself off to save
power. Press the ONCASTENTER
button to turn it back on again and start
a new game.
