Wire Material : SUS304(3mm) welded front eye
Propeller Material : ALUMINUM A6061 TI-5
Note)
1. Please employ the continuous high tempo short jerk approach for best results
2. During periods of no action the Atomic Pile floats at between 30 degrees and horizontal to the surface. The hooks are suspended from the lower surface and because of the angle of the lure there is a much greater chance of success when a monster bites. In fact there is almost no chance of a miss!
3. When employing a rhythmical jerk and jerk method, the propeller continues spinning when pausing between jerks. It is best to allow the propeller to almost come to a standstill before applying the next jerk. The jerk and dipping action gives off a deep bass sound while the left over movement in the propeller makes the Atomic pile dart to the left and right.
4. The propeller design is thick and hard so as to handle the shock of impact, jerking and pressure. As strong as it is though it is made of Aluminum. This means that it will not last forever and will some times need repaired and replaced. Using another material for the propeller would seriously compromise the performance of the Atomic pile, being either too heavy or too weak. We recommend that you repair the Atomic pile using pliers after a monster has bitten it. This will unfortunately weaken the propeller though so you should treat it as expendable.
5. We do also recommend that you take the option to purchase a spare propeller with your Atomic Pile. To this end a specially designed wrench has been produced to change the propeller with ease.
6. As we have already stated, these propellers are to be considered expendable. When you go hunting with the Atomic Pile it is highly recommended you go armed with plenty of replacement propellers. The frequency of breakage of the propeller is explained in the following sentence.
6-1) During a full days hunting with no bites you can expect to exhaust one or two Atomic Pile propellers.
6-2) On a day when the monsters are biting then there is a chance the propeller will break or be damaged with a single bite.
Thus as a general rule we recommend one propeller for one bite.
7. The Atomic Pile is designed without a lead weight. As the propeller section is designed to be removed and replaced, the washers in this area provide the weighting system. As the weighting is very important to the superb action of the Atomic Pile please take care not to lose any of the washers when replacing the propeller.
