Instructions:

First, place the aluminum landing plate with the 6 degree slope upward just above the downrigger weight. Lower the downrigger weight to approximately 15 to 20 feet below the desired fishing depth.Release the flasher, hook and bait 12 to 15 feet behind the boat.

Lay the fishing pole down with the tip slightly outside of the boat and in front of the downrigger. Put the Dolfin Carrier on the downrigger cable. Move the Carrier forward so that the downrigger cable is to the back of the slot. (Toward tail) Push the plastic pin all the way into the side hole and turn slightly to the right. While holding it, open the release jaw and place the fishing line into two thirds of the release jaw.

Pick up the fishing pole and release the Dolfin Carrier letting it descend at a moderate rate down to the desired fishing depth. Place the fishing pole in a holder with the tip approximately 2 feet behind the downrigger.

After a fish has struck, give a slight jerk if the clamp does not release. Land the fish and simply do the same process again. If you are using two or more downriggers always keep moving forward.

We do not recommend using more than four (4) Dolfin Carriers at a time. Reel up the downrigger weight to retrieve the Dolfin Carriers. When checking the bait, reel up slowly (sometimes fish will strike) or simply give a slight jerk releasing the Dolfin Carrier. There are fishermen who pull up the downrigger weight every time a fish gets on the line. Simply keep the fish away from the downrigger cable when landing them. Caution: Do not let the downrigger weight drag on the bottom. It is possible the Dolfin Carrier could come off.
