Setup Guide

Setting up the Goliath 31700 Rocket Fishing Rod is simple and straightforward. Follow these steps to start using your new fishing tool:

1. Extend the telescopic rod to its full length.
2. Attach the fishing line and hook to the end of the rod.
3. Bait the hook with your preferred lure or live bait.
4. Pull back on the handle to load the rod, then aim and release to cast the line.
5. Wait for a fish to bite and reel in your catch with the smooth and responsive drag system.

Adjusting the Reel Drag

Adjust the drag wheel to get the proper settings for the type of fish you’ll be catching. Heavier fish need less drag and lighter fish need more drag.

Removing the Reel

If it becomes necessary to restring or untangle the fishing line on your reel, you can remove the reel from the housing by pushing the red button on the front of the housing and opening the hinged cover. The reel can then be lifted out of the housing.

Stringing a New Safety Bobber

1. Attach the line stop by pulling the line through the wire loop and sliding the line stop onto the line. 
   Push the fishing line through the hole on the top of the bobber. Make sure the line stop is positioned on the fishing line above the bobber. 

2. Open the sides of the bobber and pull the string down about six inches. Tie on a weight and hook.

Troubleshooting

1. The line is not reeling in
   • The line requires some tension for the reel to work properly. Hold the fishing line with your left hand, applying some tension, while you turn the handle of the reel with your right hand. The reel will not work when the bobber is used on land; it requires water resistance.
2. The line is tangled inside the Rocket Fishing Rod
   • Pull on the line from the barrel end of the Rocket Fishing Rod while sliding the handle up and down on the barrel of the rod. If the line is not freed, cut the line, pull out the excess line, and restart the bobber. 
3. The line is tangled inside the reel
   • Ask an adult for help! Use pliers or a wrench to separate the two sections of the reel and untangle the line inside. Press the two sides of the reel back together before reinserting it into the reel housing. The bobber is only launching a few feet.
   • Make sure the fishing line is not tangled inside the Rocket Fishing Rod’s barrel. If the line is not tangled inside the barrel, make sure it is not tangled inside the reel. If the line is tangled, refer to the troubleshooting tips above. https://www.rocketfishingrod.com |   https://www.goliathgames.us   | (855) 258-8214

Fishing Safety
Here are some general safety tips for fishing: 

• Never go fishing alone. Always fish with a group of at least three people and always stay in sight of each 
• Wear a life jacket or buoyancy vest. Wear lightweight garments worn in layers. Bulky sweaters and jackets become extremely heavy and difficult to remove if you fall into the water. 
• Wear non-slip shoes and take care to avoid slipping or cutting yourself on sharp, rocky edges. 
• Look for secure footholds and stay away from sloping, slippery edges. 
• Obey all danger signs. 

Check the following before fishing: 

• Don’t use rods or poles within 30 yards of overhead power lines. Hitting a power line could be fatal. 
• Don’t stand too close to the people you’re fishing with.

WARNING: This is not a toy. Not for use by children under 8 years of age. To be used only with adult supervision. Do not aim or launch in the direction of people or pets. Do not insert anything other than the recommended bobber into product. This may cause serious injury.

Check the following before launching the bobber: 

• Check the barrel before loading the bobber to ensure the barrel is free of obstructions. 
• Check the condition of the hook and bobber before launch. 
• Make sure the safety button is not depressed before loading or preparing to launch. 
• Do not use the fishing rod if any components are broken. 

Fishing hook handling instruction: 

• Cover or remove fish hooks from fishing rods before transporting. Exposed hooks on rods should be corked or placed in a hook safety cover.
