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.  

 

 

#4 x 1/2" 
Screws (2) 

The 3/4"-Long Phillips 
Screw Must Engage 
Hole in 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.
