Attaching
the
Rod
Alarm
Attach
using
a
single
or
double
band
to
a
tip
‐
up
flag.
Most
already
have
at
least
one
hole
in
the
flag.
If
you
fish
in
windy
situations
the
size
of
the
flag
may
be
cut
down
to
reduce
movement
from
the
wind.
Fishing
rods
used
for
ice
‐
fishing
can
use
a
single
band
for
attachment
since
you
are
not
casting.
When
mounting
on
a
rod
that
is
used
for
casting,
two
bands
should
be
used.
The
straight
‐
attachment
works
well
and
is
easier
to
put
on
and
off,
but
the
cross
‐
over
method
is
more
secure.
Single
band
–
OK
for
ice
‐
fishing
Double
‐
band
–
more
secure
Double
‐
cross
‐
over
provides
the
best
hold
and
friction,
but
is
hard
to
get
on
‐
and
‐
off
For
summer
fishing,
crossing
over
though
an
eyelet
ensures
the
BiteMinder
doesn’t
become
tangled
in
the
line
and
keep
it
in
position
on
the
rod
no
matter
what…
For
extra
security,
or
for
a
more
permanent
mount,
a
nylon
tie
can
be
put
around
the
whole
assembly.
This
should
be
done
near
an
eyelet
to
ensure
the
BiteMinder
doesn’t
slip
down
the
rod.

your
Rod
Alarm

your
operating
range.
