HIPMOUNTING
Your Gold Bug is light and extremely well balanced however,
if you're going to be swinging it for more than a few hours you
may want to convert it to a "hipmount".
1. Disconnect the cable from the housing or make
sure you have at least 8 inches of slack cable
between the housing and upper stem.
2. Grab the control housing and slide it off the
handle by pulling it to ward the arm rest.
3. Put your belt through the slots on the underside
of the housing.
4. Left handers should wear the housing on their
right hip and right handers on their left hip.
NOTE: if you’re working in shallow water, you may want
to strap the control housing on your chest in a heavy
plastic bag, and seal it tightly around the cable.
The Gold Bug control housing
can be hipmounted to reduce
weight on the stem and create
nearly effortless hunting. Belt
loops are provided on the under-
side of the control housing.
