Safety instructions:

– Handle hooks with care: Always cover the fishing hooks or remove them from the rods for transportation. Use corks or hook covers to avoid accidental injury.
– Keep your distance: Fish at least 10 meters away from others to avoid accidents. Watch out for people behind you before casting. Be careful with carbon fiber: Carbon fiber rods are strong but can be brittle. Avoid dropping them or banging them against hard surfaces as this can cause damage.
– Safe transportation: Always take your rod apart and place it in a protective cover during transportation to prevent damage from external influences.
– Carbon fiber rods conduct electricity. Do not use them during thunderstorms or near power lines.
– Never try to pull lures or leaders out of trees or bushes by applying pressure to the rod and fishing line. This can result in the bait/lead being catapulted towards the angler. Use only your hands to free the bait/lead.

– Train beginners: Instruct children and beginners in the safe handling of rods and hooks to minimize risks.
– Safety distance: Always keep a distance of at least six meters from high-voltage power lines when carrying or using fishing rods.
– Avoid high sticking: Do not bend your rod too much while you are drilling a fish, which is known as high sticking. Hold the rod at a maximum loading angle of 45 to 60 degrees to avoid breakage.
– Aligning the rod for snags: If your lure snags, keep the rod pointed at the hook while walking backwards to reduce the strain on the rod.
– Be careful with carbon fiber: Carbon fiber rods are strong but can be brittle. Avoid dropping them or banging them against hard surfaces as this can cause damage.
– Safe transportation: Always take your rod apart and place it in a protective cover during transportation to prevent damage from external influences.
