Rod Holder

Fly Rod or Spinning Reel Adjustments
Your rod holder is designed to carry either a fly rod or a spinning reel. A rod keeper pin is attached by a 10/32 screw
found on the flat side of the rod holder. The pin can be moved to the adjacent hole for use on the opposite side of your
Float Cat. This pin must be removed for use with a fly rod and left in place for use with a spinning reel.
Cradle Positions
Pull out on the rod cradle to adjust your rod holder to different positions. Your rod cradle adjusts for either side of your
Float Cat and from horizontal (rod lies flat), to two trolling positions and to vertical.
Warning
When using the rod holder while trolling a very large strike could adjust the rod holder to the flat position. A rod
tether is recommended.
Seat Pad Cushion
The foam inside the seat pad is cut thinner where the pad wraps the crossbar. Locate the thinner portion. Align Velcro
strips on seat with Velcro strips on mesh seat bottom and press into place.
Hull Bag
Remove male buckles from webbing straps. Thread straps under both crossbars. Replace buckle and adjust length.
