FISHING BASICS
Fishing with your RC Boat:
Use extreme caution around fishing hooks, adult supervision is required.
-
Take one pre-assembled tackle kit, unwind, and place the eyelet on the eyelet hitch on the back of the boat.

-
Place the boat in the water (using your telescoping hook if necessary).
