5. After you see the depth you desire marked
on the line counter, retighten the reel by
turning the crank handle clockwise until
the cannonball stops taking out cable.
6. Now hold onto the reel and continue to
reel clockwise (about half a turn). This
will secure the reel and prevent the cable
from creeping out while you are trolling.
Note:
You may choose to set the clutch to act like
the drag on your fishing reel and it will give
cable if your cannonball becomes
obstructed. Or you may tighten it down
securely, which is recommended when
fishing in rough water.
7. Once you’ve set the depth of your cannonball,
set the drag and drag clicker on your fishing
reel. Then take up the slack in your fishing line,
until there is a bow in your fishing rod. This
will help signal a strike.
8. When a fish strikes your lure or when you
want to retrieve your lure, remove your fishing
rod from the rod holder and abruptly lift your
fishing rod to break the rubber band. Then
fight and land your fish or retrieve lure.
Note:
It is not necessary to bring in the other
fishing lines and raise the cannonballs
when a fish is “On”. This is not
necessary! Maintain your trolling speed
and direction while you fight the fish from
the back of the boat. Keeping the fish clear
of
your other lines is easier than you
would think.
9. When you want to retrieve the cannonball,
turn the crank handle until the cannonball
surfaces.
10. Lift the Tip-Up Boom and place the cannonball
in the Ball Cradle.
