The haul parameter can be varied from 0 to 99 but the default value is 50.
(see also POWER FACTOR on page 29).
JIGGING POWER
The jigging action is performed at constant power. This means that it is not
possible to maintain the same jigging speed since the speed will depend on
how much weight is on the line (how much fish is on the hooks). The more
weight the less speed. The higher the value of the parameter the more power
will be used when jigging upwards.
The value can be varied between 0 and 79 but the default value is 10.
NOTE: If, for a given value of jigging power, the weight on the line is
high enough to prevent the reel from turning the drum then it will always
interpret it as fish, no matter how high the value of the fish sensitivity.
JIGGING LENGTH
Jigging length is the span of each jigging action (see Figure 8 on page 18).
Each step of the jigging length parameter equals approximately 0.2m (0.66ft,
0.11fa) or there are 5steps/m (3steps/2ft, 9steps/fa). Due to the fact that the
diameter of the line on the drum depends on the bulk of line on it, the above
figures are not accurate. If you have a very long line on the drum and you
are jigging at a small depth the diameter of the line on the drum is big and
hence each step of the parameter is a little bit more than 0.2m. On the other
hand if you are jigging at great depth and there is almost no line left on the
drum the diameter of the line is small and hence each step of the parameter is
less than 0.2m.
In future versions of the program this will be compensated for.
The jigging length parameter has 99 steps and can thus be varied from 0 to
19.8m (65ft, 10.8fa). The default value of the parameter is 20
(4m/13ft/2.2fa) (see also UNIT on page 35).
BOTTOM DISTANCE
Bottom distance constitutes the minimum distance of the sinker from bottom
during the jigging operation (see Figure 8 on page 18). Each time the sinker
hits the bottom, the reel will haul this length of line to maintain the distance
from bottom according to the value of this parameter. The steps are the
same as for the jigging length parameter.
BOTTOM TIME
Bottom time denotes the time that elapses between two bottom distance
checks (see Figure 8 on page 18) i.e. the reel searches for bottom and adjusts
the jig in order to keep the bottom distance correct. Each step of this
parameter equals 10 seconds. The value of this parameter can be altered
from 0 to 99 which equals 10sec to 16.5min. The default value is 6 i.e. one
minute. If bottom time is set to 0 the reel will search for bottom in each jig.
