FISH SENSITIVITY
The fish sensitivity is used to select the weight that has to be added to the
line (the weight of fish on the hooks) for the reel to haul it in automatically.
The higher the fish sensitivity the more weight must be added to the line
before the reel hauls it in.
The reel detects (in each jigging action) how much power is required to haul
in the line and it compares this power to a calculated value based on the
value of the fish sensitivity. If the power consumption exceeds this value the
line is hauled. If the fish sensitivity is set too low (compared to the weight of
the sinker) the reel will bring up small fish or even haul when there is no fish
at all.
The fish sensitivity parameter can be varied from 0 to 33. The default value
is 15.
Note: When we made the fishing systems we assumed that a sinker weighing
2 kg was used and the fish sensitivity is set accordingly. If, however, a
lighter sinker is used a corresponding adjustment must be made to fish
sensitivity, i.e. you decrease it. On the other hand it must be increased if a
heavier sinker is used.
HAUL
This parameter controls the hauling speed and the line pull. The reel tries to
maintain constant power. This means that if little weight is on the line the
speed is high. On the other hand if there is much weight on the line then the
speed will be low.
This behavior is particularly important when fishing in rough sea because it
minimizes the risk of losing fish off the hooks when the boat is rocking in the
waves. This is due to the fact that even though the boat is rocking, the fish is
pulled at almost constant speed up to the surface.
A higher number indicates more hauling speed and harder pull. The reel
slows down for the last few meters before it stops, when all the line has been
hauled.
If the reel is hauling, the cursor is not flashing and the plus pad is pressed
when the depth has become zero the reel will increase the speed to full
hauling speed. This feature is used when hauling the line onto the drum for
the first time (you don’t want to haul 500 meters of line at 50rpm!). Next
time you press the main pad the reel will come to a stop.
