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 spinning set was developed for moderately
heavy spin fishing in lakes, ponds, rivers, and
the sea.
With a maximum lead weight of 50g it is
particularly suited for angling pike and zander
in fresh water. But you can also enjoy using this
set for spin fishing for cod and sea trout in salt
water.
The reel is equipped with a monofilament
fishing line with a diameter of 0.30mm, and the
maximum load capacity has been calculated at
6kg. In practice, however, it has been shown that
substantially heavier fish can often be landed
safely.
The angling set is pre-assembled with a metal
leader and a spinner especially for pike fishing.
Cast the bait, allow it to sink briefly, and then
begin smooth reeling so that the spinner starts
rotating thus imitates a prey fish.
Always fish in promising areas (so-called
'hotspots') of water where the pike can find
protection and prey fish.
These hotspots are tree trunks or reed belts in the
water in spring and autumn, in troughs in flowing
water, that are often oval, deep depressions on
the bed, created by specific currents, upstream
obstacles or the natural course of the river.
Even though the spinning rod has very soft
bending properties that can withstand violent
bites by fish as much as possible, the brake on
the reel must be turned slightly to the left on the
knob so that you are able to pull line slowly from
the spool at moderate tensile force with the bail
arm closed. This prevents the bait from tearing
off or even the line from breaking during play.
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.
