Rigging your fishing lines
Tighten your downrigger brake by
moving it counter clockwise, and attach
your weight to the downrigger snap
hook. It is best to do this outside the
boat so if you drop the weight it won’t
damage anything.
Clip the snap end of the release clip to
the downrigger weight.
Attach your fishing line to the Power
Grip release by squeezing the jaws
apart and placing your fishing line
between the pads. You can adjust the
release tension by placing the fishing
line further into the jaws. To further
increase the release tension you can
move the tension adjuster slider to the
out position.
With your fishing rod in a rod holder, set
the tension on your reel so that the line
will pay out, but with enough down drag
tension so that it doesn’t free wheel. It is important to have your fishing line
tight to the Downrigger line because you may lose the fish if he has slack line
after releasing o the downrigger.
Moving the brake handle in a clockwise direction lowers the downrigger weight.
You can go as fast or as slow as you wish, but if you are using a flasher or
dodger it is best to descend at a slow, even rate to eliminate fouling the flasher
or dodger with the downrigger cable.
