Visualise your end point in the water, and swing
the fishing rod forward, with an even movement
forward, steadily increasing in speed. Your point-
ing finger releases the fishing line the moment the
top end of the fishing rod points to your end point.
When your bait hits the water, i.e. once it’s
reached the desired depth, lock the line guide
bracket.
Intended use/Tips for success-
ful fishing
The fly and cast fishing set was developed for light
lure and cast fishing in lakes, ponds, and rivers.
With its maximum casting weight of 40g it’s
particularly suitable for trout and bass fishing.
The reel is wound with a mono-filament fishing line,
with a 0.22mm diameter, with a maximum load
of 3.0kg. In practice, however, much heavier fish
have been landed with this fishing line.
The fishing set has been pre-assembled with a
spinner specifically for trout and bass fishing.
Throw out the bait, let it sink for a moment, and
then reel in evenly, so that the spinner starts to
rotate, imitating a bait-fish.
Try to find good fishing sports (so-called hot-spots)
where trout and bass, as well as bait-fish, like to
frequent.
Good areas, especially in spring and autumn, are
around branches or reed belts in the water, the
so-called “troughs”. Often oval in shape, these are
deep recesses on the bottom of the body of water,
caused by special currents, objects or by the
natural flow of the river.
Even if the spinning rod is very flexible and bendy,
which cushions the strong pulling of escaping fish,
the brake must be set in such a way that a slight
left turn of the knob enables the fish to slowly pull
line from the reel, with medium to strong pulling,
when the line guide bracket is locked off. By doing
this, loss of the bait is prevented, or even a line-
break, while landing the fish.
Ethical behaviour
Your enjoyment of fishing should also be dictated
by respect for fish and nature. In addition to the
national and local regulations, please keep in
mind some important basic rules for fishing.
• Ensure that you have all necessary fishing
accessories for landing fish safely with you,
to remove the fish-hook gently, so you can
release the fish or to kill it ethically. For many
fishing styles, this especially includes landing
nets, measuring tape, stunning device, knife,
disgorger, fish-hook remover or fisher’s pliers.
• Do not drag caught fish along the ground or in
the sand, as this can easily lead to injuries of the
sensitive mucous membrane. Always handle the
catch with wet hands for this reason.
• Release under-size fish, and fish in spawn,
gently.
• Fish for eating must be stunned properly and
killed humanely with a knife.
• Even if the fish are biting ubiquitously, do not
over-do it and do not catch more fish than is
really necessary.
• Always leave the fishing spot in the same state
as you would like to find it.
Safety information
Life-threatening hazard!
Do not fish near power lines. Always look out for
any low-hanging lines and avoid contact with
them.
You may endanger your life due to electrical
shock.
Life-threatening hazard during
lightning storms!
Do not fish during a storm. A flash of lightning
hitting your fishing rod, or fishing line, can lead to
life-threatening injuries or can even be fatal. You
may endanger your life due to electrical shock.
Risk of injury!
