INTRODUCTION
Congratulations for your purchase.
Hook-Eye is the revolutionary Sportshing Underwater Camera
designed to shoot high-denition videos and capture fast action
even in extreme conditions, such as Marlin ght. Attached to any
standard wire and monolament leaders, Hook-Eye can deliver
unprecedented images of the strike and the ensuing ght in full
HD. Thanks to an adjustable centerboard equipped with dierent
sized tungsten sinkers, the cam can be trolled up to 10 knots
speed while remaining very stable. Its rugged body, the absence
of external buttons and the double o-ring seal allow it to withstand
high pressure and reach an operating depth of more than 400 feet
(120 meters).
Hook-Eye believes in being responsible to the environment. The
packaging is made to be used as a oating waterproof accessory
case and comes free with your purchase. The case contains the
camera and the quick-start guide. Nothing gets disposed in the
environment.

• Hook-Eye camera
• Battery pack
• Standard Centerboard

• 30,100,200 grams sinkers

water before opening it. Before using the microber cloth for the
