Setting Up Your Downrigger
Attaching the Boom
The boom inserts into the downrigger frame.
Be sure that the boom is held securely by seating
it firmly against the shoulder inside the fame and
fastening the boom locking screw (#8 X 1” self
tapping) so that it engages the hole in the boom.

Assemble Swivel Head To Boom
Spread the swivel head side plates and slip the
assembly over the boom end. Snap the assembly
together and install two #4 x 1/2" screws into the
swivel head.
For Lake-Troll only: On swivel head assembly
with counter leave the corrugated spacer in place
until the assembly is snapped together, remove
the spacer and install the screws.
TIP: Adjusting the angle of the boom head can
help control cable wrap on the reel.
