Using this unit for different styles of fishing
For the recommended best practices and items to use for each style of fishing, please visit

Using this unit for cast & retrieve
When fishing in the cast & retrieve style, you will want to attach your camera to the fishing line
in-between a casting line and your leader line as shown in Figure
A
. We recommend using a
leader line that is less weight capacity than your casting line to raise the odds that if your lure
gets snagged or a fish takes it, your camera has the best chance of staying on the line while the
leader line would snap and you would lose the lure only. This is not a guarantee, but it is a
recommended method.
Cast and retrieve as you normally would, note that with the added weight of the camera you will
get more distance on your cast. Also note that when you retrieve with more speed you will see
more stability on the video.
When cast and retrieving it is best to side cast rather than overhead cast.
Using this unit for trolling
When fishing in the trolling style, you will want to attach your camera to the fishing line in-
between a casting line and your leader line as shown in Figure AA We recommend using a
leader line that is less weight capacity than your casting line to raise the odds that if your lure
gets snagged or a fish takes it, your camera has the best chance of staying on the line while the
leader line would snap and you would lose the lure only. This is not a guarantee, but it is a
recommended method.
