FAQs
What size isotopes fit the Mamba Hanger?
The Mamba Hanger is designed to accommodate 15mm isotopes.
Can I use the Mamba Hanger in strong currents?
Yes, you can use the Mamba Hanger in strong currents by adding the 2 x 10g removable weights and adjusting the line clip for increased tension to prevent false indications.
What makes the line clip 'line-friendly'?
The design of the ball line clip is intended to hold the line securely without causing damage or excessive wear, and it accommodates various line types and breaking strains.
Is this hanger compatible with other bite alarms?
While specifically designed as a perfect match for Westlake Mamba Alarms, its standard fitting should allow compatibility with most bite alarms. However, optimal performance is guaranteed with Westlake Mamba Alarms.
How do I clean the Mamba Hanger?
Rinse the hanger with fresh water after each use to remove salt and debris, then wipe it dry with a soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.
What are the benefits of the Hi-Viz body color?
The Hi-Viz (High Visibility) red body color makes the hanger easier to spot, especially in low light conditions, murky water, or against busy backgrounds, aiding in precise bite detection.
Troubleshooting
Line clip feels too loose or too tight
Adjust the ball line clip by gently sliding it. Ensure your line is seated correctly within the clip mechanism. Consult the 'Setup' section for detailed guidance.
Hanger doesn't indicate bites accurately
Experiment with adding or removing the 10g weights. Adjust the line clip tension based on water conditions and target species. Ensure the hanger is free to move and not snagged.
Isotope slot is difficult to use
Ensure the isotope is the correct size (15mm). Gently push the isotope into the slot until it clicks or sits securely. Avoid forcing it.
Rope chain seems weak or damaged
Inspect the rope chain for any signs of wear or damage. If damaged, consider replacing the chain to ensure reliable performance.
