Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the retainer, securely screw the threaded end onto a robust storm pole or bankstick, ensuring it is driven deep into the substrate. Attach the carabiner end to your boat's bow or designated tether point. To clean, rinse the system with fresh water after each session to remove silt and algae, which can degrade the elasticity and affect the spring mechanism. Store the retainer in a dry place when not in use to maintain the integrity of the rotproof materials. Inspect the elasticated cord for any signs of fraying or fatigue before every fishing trip to ensure maximum safety.
