Complete Fishing System

INSTRUCTIONS

Mighty Bite and Mighty Fin (weighted) will catch fish right out of the package!

Thank you for purchasing the revolutionary Mighty Bite Fishing System! The moment you take Mighty Bite out of the package, you will notice that Mighty Bite looksdifferent than any other fishing lure on the market and is quite possibly the most versatilefishing system ever made! The reason it's such a fish magnet is perfectly clear and so simple;it is the only lure ever developed that bombards all 5 of a fish's senses. Some popular luresattract one or if you’re lucky maybe two of a fish's senses, but Mighty Bite can attract fish by sight, sound or smell and when they strike Mighty Bite they hold on longer due to its realistic feel and taste.

Some of the Patent-Pending features include; The Bite Mark with its Wounded Rib Design,Interchangeable Fins, Scent Stick, Removable Rattle and Scent Chambers, and Treble hookharness and Attachment Chamber. The overall design of the Mighty Bite lure along with theBite Mark and Wounded Ribs help give the lure its incredible injured action, similar to a baitfish that has been hit, but not killed. This is where Mighty Bite DNA Triggering technologycomes into action. The larger Interchangeable Fins allow the Mighty Bite to glide slowly to the bottom at a slight angle, like it's swimming on its own. The smaller fins are perfectwhen you want to reach the bottom fast to those deeper holding fish. The Scent stick leaves a powerful scent trail and is specially formulated to attract all Fresh and Salt water species,even in cloudy or turbulent water from far away. It also gives off a blast of flavor when a fishbites down, making them hold on longer. The rattle chamber is located in Mighty Bite's tailand gives off the rhythmic, pinging sound of a wounded baitfish.

Mighty Bite really delivers! Thanks for buying and trying Mighty Bite!

Fishing Tips to make your Mighty Bite System more effective Basic KnotsTwo Basic knots for any fishing scenario1) Loop knotStep 1) Take 5 to 6” lineStep 2) Make an overhand knot and pass the tag end through

and pull it to make a loop.Step 3) Take the tag end and pass it through the eye of the hook of

the Mighty Lure.Step 4) Take the tag end and put it through the loop crated in

step 3, and pull it out.Step 5) Pinch the overhang knot just created and wrap the tag end

twice around the main line, then back through the top part of loop knot.

Step 6) Moisten the line to make the line slip and pull tight from the tag end and the main line.

Step 7) Trim the tag end.The loop knot allows the Mighty Bite lure to swim more freely in thewater. The realistic action of the Mighty Bite lure works best with a loop knot.

2) Improved Clinch KnotStep 1) Run the line through the eye of the Mighty Bite lure, and pull

out about 6 inches.Step 2) Pinch right above the eye, and wrap the tag end on the main

line eight times.Step 3) Take the tag end and run it through the whole right above the

eye of the hook.Step 4) Run the line back through the very top of the knot.Step 5) Moisten the line and pull tight.Step 6) Trim the tag end.

Setting the DragTip: Always check the drag before starting fishing.Setting the drag on a Spinning ReelThe proper way to set drag is to use scale. Put the scale on the end of the line and pull. Set the drag at about 25% of what the line pound test is. This means, that if the test line is at 10 pounds, then you want to set it at 2.5 lbs of drag.If scale is not available, then the simple way to set the drag is to start loose and pull fromreel. Tighten slightly in small increments until you can pull out the drag easily but there isenough pressure to set the hook. If a hooked fish runs hard you want it to be loose enoughso you don’t break the line. This is a quick way to check the drag that is not too tight or too loose.

Setting the drag on a Bait Casting ReelOn the Bait Casting reel the drag is on the side, near the handle. When pulling the line, slowly tighten until you can pull out the drag easily but there is enough pressure to set thehook but also if the fish runs hard you want it to be loose enough so you don’t break the line. This is a quick way to check the drag that is not too tight or too loose.

Casting Tips with Spinning RodTip 1) With your forefinger grab the line and balance it allowing the weight of the lure to

hold it on your trigger finger. Click the bail over. Put the rod directly over your head and cast towards the target, releasing your finger at the target.

Tip 2) For Safety Purposes, when fishing in groups or around multiple people cast directly over your head. Do not cast to the side or swing the lure around.

Straight RetrieveWhen performing straight retrieve with the Mighty Bite lure, cast out, and even though it iscalled the Straight Retrieve, you want your rod tip down towards the water and to be on anangle slightly so when you feel the impact of the fish hitting the rod will act as a shockabsorber. You can then set the hook either to the side or straight up and down.

Casting and Jigging Retrieve Technique with weighted Mighty Bite and Mighty Fin. For this technique cast the Mighty Bite lure out, once it hits the water it will begin todescend. Now you can let the lure fall all the way to bottom or fish the middle of the water column by starting to retrieve earlier, Always be in contact with the lure as it is falling,you might get a hit right away, so always be ready. When you jig and the lure starts to movecloser, you then pull in the slack by reeling down as you drop your rod tip towards the lure.Repeat again: Jig and Pull the slack. By pulling up the slack, you will feel the fish attack theMighty Bite, and then you can set to the side, the top or even the bottom.

Attaching Popper Head Attachment to the Mighty BiteTie the eye of the Popper located on the front side to the line (Fig. 12). Open the snapand attach the eye of the Mighty Bile lure to the Popper snap located in the back. Close the snap to prevent the Popper fromcoming unattached (Fig. 13).

How to use Mighty Bite withPopper Attachment.Cast out directly over your head. With a steady retrieve move directly along the surface, keeping the rod tip high, creating a lot of surface action, attracting the fish toinvestigate and attack the Mighty Bite from below. An occasional pull to “pop” the lure onthe surface will add to the action in some situations.

Jeff Mancini Pro Tip - By simply reversing the direction of the “Popper HeadAttachment and change your reeling style, this Attachment will change from a “Popper HeadAttachment” into a "Slider Attachment". Also change the retrieve from a popping action to asteady retrieve when using it as a Slider – this is easy for kids to do and will get great surfacestrikes!

Installing FinPlace the fin between the thumb and forefinger, and insert it into the #1 slot (See Fig. 1) in the body. Firmly push the fin through the slot, pulling on the opposite side half way.Insert the appropriate size locking pin into the guide hole, located on the bottom of the MightyBite, so the flat head of the pin is flush with the body (Fig. 2).

Installing “Scent Stick”Place the “Scent Stick” between the thumb andforefinger, and insert it into the #1 or #2 or #3chamber in the Bite Mark (Fig. 3). Firmly pushthe “Scent Stick” all the way into the chamber. It is OK if a small amount hangs out (Fig. 4).

Installing “Rattle” or “Weight”Place the “Rattle” or “Weight” between the thumb and forefinger, andinsert it into the #3 (See Fig. 4) chamber in the Bite Mark towards thetail. Firmly push the “Rattle” all the way into the chamber, it is OK if a small amount hangs out for easy removal or changing.

Rigging / Installing hook into UnhookedMighty Fin with Wide Gap HookRun the Wide Gap Hook down through the nose of the lure and turn it, until it reaches the eye of the hook. When properly inserted, the hook willline up directly with the bite mark. (Fig 6-7) Insert and run the hook point through the bitemark cavity (the middle cavity that is used for thetreble hook harness Fig 8). Then the point of the hook should be next to the top pectoral fin this will act as a weed guard making the unhookedMighty Fin a weed less lure (see drawing on right).The Mighty Fin should look straight when hooked properly. – When rigged this way the unhookedMighty Fin can be pulled slowly through the water or deep cover and it will sink slowly or retrievedvery fast and it will stay up on the surface making it a top water bait.

Standard Rigging Tips and TechniquesStandard set up for Mighty Bite and Mighty Fin weighted lures consists of Fin, Scent stick and rattle placed in the tail.

Customizing The Mighty Bite SystemFinsThe fins allow you to customize or change the speed at which the Mighty Bite falls as itdescends through the water. Plus, it gives a variety of different lifelike looks and baitfish profiles from different angles.

Jeff Mancini Pro Tip: A standard tweezers is a great tool to help install or pull the fins into place. When you're pre-loading fins in a large quantity of Mighty Bites for a tournament you can have them ready for wild tournament winning action!

WeightsThe weights help the lure sink down deeper and faster to the bottom. The Mighty Bite lurehas three chambers that can be used as weight cavities that change the way the lure falls.The Hooked Mighty Bite lure comes pre-weighted; however adding additional weight will let you customize the descent rate which will help you reach the fish in the deep water faster.Experiment with different weights, in different cavities in various water depths.

Jeff Mancini Pro Tip: Try adding a weight to one or more of the chambers in the 6”unhooked Mighty Fin to control the sink rate, also try loading it with a few “Scent Sticks” and rigging it “Wacky Style”, “Carolina Rig Style”,“Texas Rig Style”, “Drop Shot Style”, or even “ShakyHead Style for some amazing big fish action.

Attaching Treble Hook Harness to the Mighty BiteCAUTION: Hooks are extremely sharp!

Insert the swivel into the bite mark middle chamber. (Fig. 9) Push it throughuntil the eye of the swivel comes outthrough the top, and pull it (Fig. 10).Bend the lure slightly and insert the hook point into the eye of the swivel. (Fig. 11). Carefully pull down the Treble Hook, until it slides out and hangsfreely below.

Correct Installation

Rattles that “sound the dinner bell”The rattle is designed to call fish from far away. The rattles are custom sized to fit and insert intothe tail chamber. This allows you to customize your mighty bite and the desired sound effect.

Jeff Mancini Pro Tip: You can add lots of sound by adding multiple rattles to thelures – try this in low light situation or in dark or stained water.

Scent StickThe Patent Pending Scent Stick is a revolutionary scent dispersal system specially formulated to attract all Fresh and Salt water species. The scent stick works best when used in the frontchamber. The Scent Sticks can also fit in the other two chambers allowing you to customizeyour mighty bite depending on the rattle and weight placement.

Jeff Mancini Pro Tip: Sometimes fish are not overly active and aggressively feeding, slow your lure presentation down, and add more “Scent Sticks”. When fish are slow to bite, try 3 “Scent Sticks” in all three chambers and change your presentation to get the fish biting again.
