HOW IT WORKS

Simply cast your rod.
Position rod or put in a rod holder.
Push button to turn on
Wait for a fish to strike

It's that simple... You can easily choose how sensitive the alarm is by selecting the High, Med or Low setting for bank fishing, drift fishing or waves and wind but there is no incorrect way to use it. The rod can also be used as all typical fishing rods in the off position.
