Assemble The Downrigger Boom...
1. For J-rod style downriggers, firmly
screw the collar onto the threaded
end of the J-Rod. Then firmly screw
the threaded end of the end rod and
pulley assembly into the other end
of the collar.
2. For downriggers with tip-up booms,
start by loosening the (3) screws
that hold together the line guide
hanger. Thread the 12 inch rod
section through the line guide.
Then firmly thread the 12 inch rod
into the rod block (found on the
tip-up assembly).
Position the line guide on center
with the downrigger reel and one
inch ahead of the rod block. Then
tighten the (3) screws on the line
guide to secure it in position.
3. Next, firmly screw the collar onto
the 12 inch rod. Then firmly screw
the end rod and pulley assembly
into the collar.
*
Locating the line guide close to the reel helps
load the cable uniformly.

Threading The Cable And
Installing The Klincher...
To thread the downrigger cable, start by releasing
the tension on the downrigger reel by loosening
the clutch knob. Then pull a length of cable
from the reel. Thread the cable over the top of the
of the wheels of the line guide and tip pulley (as
shown in the top illustration).
DO NOT THREAD
THE CABLE FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE
LINE GUIDE OR TIP PULLEY!
This will cause the cable to damage the pulley.
To Install The Klincher With Swivel Clip:
1. Feed the cable into the top of the Klincher
body and out the side. Bring the cable around
the tongue, back into the side of the Klincher
and out through the top.
2. Insert the tongue into the side of the Klincher
and seat the tongue in place by pulling the
cable from the top with pliers.
3. Trim the cable end with wire cutters.
