Installation Steps

1

Prepare Your Rod Holder

Choose a rod holder with an inner diameter between 1" and 1.5" (25-38mm). Ensure the rod holder is clean and free of debris or fishing line.

Tip: Choose a rod holder that's positioned away from the boat's edge and has clear sight lines for throwing clays.

2

Insert the Mount

Hold ReelTrigger with the base pointing down. Slide the mounting post into your rod holder at a slight angle (approximately 45°).

Attach the Throwing Arm

Slide the throwing arm into the receiver on top of the unit. Rotate until the alignment holes match, then insert the locking pin.
