Correct Use / Tips For Successful Angling; Sportsmanlike Conduct; Safety Notes - Crivit ULTIMATE CATCH ALLROUND 360-4 Gebrauchsanleitung

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
This all-round angling set was developed for
universal use in lakes, ponds, rivers, and the sea.
It has a maximum lead weight of 100g and is
particularly suitable for moderately heavy to
heavy float or ground fishing for fish such as
eel (Caution! Pay attention to possible catch
prohibitions!), perch, trout, carp, pike, and
zander.
The reel is equipped with a monofilament
fishing line with a diameter of 0.35mm, and the
maximum load capacity has been calculated at
8kg. In practice, however, it has been shown that
substantially heavier fish can often be landed
safely.
The double paternoster with ground weight
that is included in the angling set (also called a
ground fishing system) is designed for use in the
sea.
Equip the rod with natural bait such as worms,
mollusc flesh, or shrimps and place the rod
as vertically as possible in a 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.
