Safety Information - Crivit 165-5 Gebrauchsanweisung

Your pointing 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 children's fishing set was developed for light
rod and float spin and cast fishing in lakes, ponds,
and rivers.
With its maximum casting weight of 20g it's
particularly suitable for fishing smaller non-
predatory fish, such as roach and bream, and
smaller predatory fish such as trout and bass.
The reel is wound with a mono-filament fishing line,
with a 0.25mm diameter, with a maximum load
of 3.3kg. In practice, however, much heavier fish
have been landed with this fishing line.
The fishing set has been pre-assembled with a
fishing-ready rod and float assembly, in such a
way that the float can be shifted to the fishing line
by pushing the cord-stop, in order to place the bait
in the required depth.
Ensure that the assembly allows for sufficient
throwing leeway; in relation to the rod length of
165cm, the distance between float and hook
should not be too great.
Place natural bait onto the hook (worms, maggots,
corn etc.) and place these in the required spots in
the body of water.
A bite is evident when the float sinks. 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.
