Step 1:
Place the Marked (Port) / Starboard) E-Z Outrodder in the gunwale mount rodholder.

Step 2:
Place fishing rod in the E-Z Outrodder and lock in gimble. (You should always use a safety line at least 6 feet in length from your reel to your cleat.)

When trolling it is not necessary to use a tight drag it can ruin your gimble pin in your flush mounted rod holder and or damage your locking cut on your E-Z Out-Rodder.

Step 3:
When a fish is hooked, grab your rod and pull gently toward you and release the pin.

IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO USE THE RELEASE PIN WHEN USING WIRE LINE OR DEEP LURE TROLLING, IT IS USED ONLY WHEN FISHING SURFACE LURES IF MAKING SHARP TURNS

Step 4:
Lift the rod and E-Z Outrodder to a vertical position.

Step 5:
Lift the rod out of the E-Z Outrodder with a slight pull towards you and reel in the fish.
