NOTE: Make sure that the clutch is well tightened when using powered descent or ascent.
NOTE: Actual fishing depth may vary from depth shown on meter due to trolling speed and weight of cannon ball. (See "Blowback")
NOTE: If your reel continues to slip no matter how hard you tighten the brake adjust knob, try this suggestion.
1.Unwind the cable from the reel and remove the set screw.
2.Align set screw hole in reel with reel shaft hole by inserting 3/16" or smaller rod. Rotate the reel until you feel the rod drop into the shaft hole.
3.Replace the set screw and tighten until you feel resistance.
4.By gently rocking the reel back and forth while you finish tightening the set screw, you can feel it engage the shaft hole. The half dog point on the set screw MUST enter the shaft hole, not just be tightened against the shaft.
Caution: The brake adjust knob (clutch) should be adjusted so that it is tight enough to hold the weight and the lure at the speed you are trolling. Over tightening may cause damage to your downrigger when weight hangs up on bottom structure or other obstacles.
Raising the Weight
Push the toggle switch up momentarily and release. The weight will rise until it reaches the surface and then automatically stop.
If you want to raise the weight farther push the toggle switch up and hold until the weight reaches the desired position, then release.
To stop the weight during ascent, push the toggle switch down momentarily (approximately 1 second).
