C-6000i Computerized Jigging Reel User Manual

This parameter controls the bottom sensing time. The higher the number the
longer must be the duration of the slack before the reel interprets it as
bottom. The RESET function sets this parameter to 1, which is the factory
setting.
For a value of one the reel is very quick to interpret any slack as a bottom.
This is good when the bottom is rocky since it minimizes the risk of getting
the sinker stuck at the bottom.
On the other hand it can be inconvenient when the sea is choppy. When the
boat is rocking in the waves there will, occasionally, be a slack on the line
even though the sinker has not reached the bottom. In this case it is
necessary to increase the value of this parameter. A value around 10 should
be appropriate in most cases.
When a small fish bites the hooks (not big enough for the fish sensitivity to
trigger) and the reel keeps on jigging, it will not be able to jig as fast
downwards since the fish resists the downward pull of the sinker. In this
situation the reel sometimes comes to the erroneous conclusion that it has hit
the bottom. Due to this the reel jigs a shorter distance downwards than it
jigs upwards and hence is slowly moving away from the bottom. A solution
to this problem is to increase the value of this parameter. This has the
drawback of delaying the bottom sensing when the sinker actually hits the
bottom. This delay can lead to loss of the sinker when fishing at a rocky
bottom, e.g. a bottom made of lava.
POWER FACTOR
This parameter controls the elasticity of the hauling action. The lower the
value the softer (more gentle) the hauling action. The power factor can be
adjusted in the range of 0 to 10 but the default value (after reset) is 3.
