UseageHints:
IfaRodAlarmfalse‐triggers(forexample,agustofwindcausestheRodAlarmalarmtogooff,butyoucan
seethatthetip‐updidn’ttrip)–youdon’thavetoleavethewarmthofyourhut.Justpressthebuttonon
thereceiver,thiswillstopitbeepingforthatRodAlarm.If,after30seconds,theRodAlarmdetectsmore
movement,thenthebeeperwillgooffagain.Soyoustillwon’tmissabite!
IfaRodAlarmkeepsfalse‐triggering,trytoidentifywhy.Ifshorefishing,tryre‐positioningtheRodAlarm
towardstherodhandletominimizeextramovement.Onatip‐up,sometimestheflagsblowinthewind
evenwhentheyarefoldeddowncausingfalsetriggers,soyoucanmoundsomesnowaroundtheflagor
evenputabitofsnowontheflagitselftostopitblowingaroundwithoutstoppingthetip‐upfrom
working).

AttachingtheRodAlarm
Attachusingasingleordoublebandtoatip‐upflag.Mostalreadyhaveatleastoneholeintheflag.Ifyoufishinwindy
situationsthesizeoftheflagmaybecutdowntoreducemovementfromthewind.

Fishingrodsusedforice‐fishingcanuseasinglebandforattachmentsinceyouarenotcasting.
Whenmountingonarodthatisusedforcasting,twobandsshouldbeused.Thestraight‐attachmentworkswellandiseasier
toputonandoff,butthecross‐overmethodismoresecure.
Singleband–OKforice‐fishingDouble‐band–moresecureDouble‐cross‐overprovidesthebesthold
andfriction,butishardtogeton‐and‐off


Forsummerfishing,crossingover
thoughaneyeletensuresthe
BiteMinderdoesn’tbecome
tangledinthelineandkeepitin
positionontherodnomatter
what…
Forextrasecurity,orforamorepermanent
mount,anylontiecanbeputaroundthe
wholeassembly.Thisshouldbedonenear
aneyelettoensuretheBiteMinderdoesn’t
slipdowntherod.
