Safety Information - Crivit 300-5 Gebrauchsanweisung

The fishing line, together with the bait, should not
twist, and the distance between the bait/lead and
top end of the fishing rod should be sufficient to
enable an elegant swing.
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 ground and feeder fishing set was developed
for use in lakes, ponds, rivers, and the sea.
With its maximum casting weight of 100g, it's
particularly suitable for eel and carp fishing.
The reel is wound with a mono-filament fishing line,
with a 0.35mm diameter, with a maximum load
of 6.5kg. In practice, however, much heavier fish
have been landed with this fishing line.
The fishing set has been pre-assembled with a
fishing-ready ground fishing assembly.
Place natural bait onto the hook (worms, fish
scraps etc.) and place these in the required spots
in the body of water.
Put the fishing rod in an upright position in the
body of water and use the accompanying bells
on the top end of the fishing rod as acoustic bite
indicators. As an optical aid in the dark, you can
fasten a glow stick to the fishing rod.
A bite is evident when the top end of the fishing
rod bends/beats and when the bells toll.
Through swift and even pulling of the rod in an
upward motion, hook the fish and land it.
Even if the fishing 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.
