Step 1 - Thread your marker stem with the lead attached onto the mainline.
Step 2 - Thread the dumbell float onto the mainline
Step 3 - Now tie on a hook link made from the catlink XT, hooks and swivel. This hook link must be shorter than the dumbell float.
Step 4 - Attach your chosen bait such as squid, lobworms or fish baits to the hook and hold the bait in place with a bait shield.
Step 5 Once the rig has been cast out pay line off the reel until the float appears on the surface.
