Use
Before initial use
Caution: Find out about national laws and lo-
cal regulations before fishing. These instructions
describe the most important notes on the article.
Angling is a very varied sport. We therefore re-
commend reading additional specialist literature
on the subject and/or getting advice from clubs
and associations.
Assembling the fishing rod
Even if this angling set is already assembled, you
must still check the following assembly points pri-
or to first use in order to ensure safe interaction
between the rod and the reel.
1. The reel foot (1C) must be inserted in the reel
holders (1A) and the screw lock (1B) is fixed
in a clockwise direction.
2. Bring the crank (1G) to the desired position
by releasing the opposite crank fixing bolt
(1F) in an anti-clockwise direction and then
tightening it again once the corresponding
position is reached. Insert the individual seg-
ments of the fishing rod into one another so
that the joints are fixed securely. Make sure
that the rings in the individual segments are
aligned (see figure C).
3. Release the brake (1H) by turning it anti-
clockwise. Pull sufficient fishing line (1J) from
the reel spool (1E) and feed it under the
bail arm (1D) through all the rings on the rod.
Re-tighten the brake by turning it in a clock-
wise direction.
Deliver the bait with an overhead
cast
Make sure that the non-return device (1I) is
engaged. Grip the rod by the handset, whereby
the reel foot must be between your middle and
ring fingers.
Your index finger holds the fishing line while the
operating lever is closed and presses it down
onto the fishing rod. Open the bail arm and
guide the rod backwards past the side of your
head: your free hand is holding the grip end of
the fishing rod, thus giving additional stability
and control.
The fishing rod with the bait should no longer
swing and the distance between the bait/ground
weight and the tip of the rod should be sufficient
to produce a harmonious swing.
Look at the place in the water you wish to cast to
and swing the fishing rod forwards with steadily
increasing speed. Your index finger should re-
lease the fishing line at the moment when the tip
of the fishing rod is pointing to the target point.
Close the bail arm when the bait touches the
water or it reaches the desired water depth.

Tips for successful angling
The surf casting set was developed specifically
for fishing on the seabed for fish species such as
cod and flatfish from the beach or from jetties
and piers. With a maximum casting weight of
250g, it can securely reach the seabed due
to the heavy ground weights that allow for
casting far out even in wavy conditions or strong
currents.
The reel is equipped with a monofilament
fishing line with a diameter of 0.40mm, and the
maximum load capacity has been calculated at
10kg. In practice, however, it has been shown
that substantially heavier fish can often be
landed safely.
Equip the double paternoster (also called a
ground angling system) with natural bait such
as worms, mollusc flesh, or shrimps and place
the rod as vertically as possible in a special rod
holder or for example on a bridge railing after
casting.
Bring tension to the fishing line by turning the
crank several times so that both lures are just
above the seabed, where most sea fish search
for food.
Once a fish has bitten this will be indicated by
a shaking / wobbling of the tip of the fishing
rod. 'Set' the hook by pulling the fishing rod up
quickly and smoothly and play the hooked fish.
Bells and glow sticks attached to the tip of the
fishing rod have proven to be reliable acoustic
and optical bite signals at dusk or in the dark.
Sportsmanlike conduct
While enjoying your angling please remain
respectful of the fish and of nature. You
must observe some important basic rules of
angling alongside the national laws and local
regulations.
• Bring the necessary fishing accessories with
you in order to safely land the fish, gently
remove the fishing hook, and throw the
fish back, or kill it quickly and in accordance
with hunting principles. The particular items
of equipment for this are, for many types
of angling, a landing net, measuring tape,
a stunning device, knife, protection spreader,
disgorger, and fishing pliers.
• Do not pull the caught fish above the ground
or through the sand on the fishing line as such
quickly leads to injury to the sensitive mucous
membranes. This is why you must always hold
the fish with wet hands.
• Gently return undersized fish and fish that are
in the spawning phase.
• Fish that are taken for consumption must be
professionally stunned immediately and killed
with a knife thrust.
• Even if you have an 'hour of glory' at the
waterside and the fish are biting well do not
be over indulgent and do not take more fish
than is really necessary.
• Always leave the fishing location as clean as
you would like to find it.
Safety notes
Risk to life!
Do not fish near high-voltage power lines.
Pay attention to any low overhead lines while
fishing and avoid contact. Otherwise there is risk
to life through electric shock.
Risk to life during storm!
Do not fish during storms. If lightning strikes the
fishing rod or fishing line it can lead to life-threa-
tening injury or even to death. Otherwise there is
risk to life through electric shock.
