Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, thread your rig line through the connector hole and secure it using a knot compatible with your mainline. Ensure the connector slides smoothly into your pole elastic bush. For maintenance, it is recommended to check the knot integrity and connector for any signs of abrasion after every few sessions. Store your top kits in a protective tube or holdall to prevent the connector from catching on other gear during transport. If the connector becomes stiff or shows signs of wear, it should be replaced immediately to prevent potential elastic failure.
