4. When the line counter shows that the cannonball
has reached the desired fishing depth, return the
Up/Down switch to the Neutral/Stop position to
keep the cannonball and your lure at that depth.
5. Next, set the drag clicker on your fishing reel. Then
take up the slack in your fishing line, until there is a
bow in your fishing rod.
(One of the virtues of using a Band Buster
®
line
release is that when a fish strikes and pulls against
the rubber band, the rod tip will start bouncing and
signal the strike.)
6. 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.
7. Finally, when you are ready to quit fishing or want
to change lures, raise the cannonball by pressing
top half of the Up/Down switch. Keep an eye on
the line counter and be prepared to turn off the
downrigger as the cannonball reaches the surface.
When the cannonball reaches the surface, return
the Up/Down switch to the Up/Down position.
Option:
For the boat owner who plans to run more
two electric downriggers, Big Jon Sports
®
offers the Auto-Stop System to automatically
stop the downrigger motor when the
cannonball reaches the pre-set shut-off depth
(See “Setting The Auto-Stop’s Shut-Off Depth
on page 9).
