are displayed to help beginners.
•TRAINING

to choose a color of lure. Now press the start button.
4 The machine is ready to start the game. (Casting the line is referred to on page 27.)
The player can fish bass for a specified time. When the time becomes “0”, the game is over.
When the player lands a fish, the time is extended according to the type and size of the fish.
Fishes other than bass give you a shorter extra time than bass. An exception: hooking up an
empty can or a boot provides you with a long extra time!
(The initial time and extra time for a play can be preset on the “GAME OPTIONS” on page 22.)
