Troubleshooting
Line clip not holding line securely
Ensure the line is correctly seated within the clip and that the clip mechanism is clean and free of debris. Adjust the clip's tension if applicable or check for wear on the clip.
Hanger not sensitive enough
Remove one or both of the 10g weights to increase sensitivity. Ensure the rope chain is not snagged and the line is running freely through the clip.
Hanger too sensitive to wind/undertow
Add one or both of the 10g weights to increase the hanger's tension and stability. Ensure the line is properly tensioned on the reel.
Isotope not fitting
Verify that you are using a 15mm isotope, as this is the size designed for the slots. Ensure the slot is clean and free from obstructions.
