Beer Fishing Game Setup:
The following instructions are designed to get you out there fishing and drinking those frosty brews quickly. Getting the zip ties into the custom can lids will just take a few minutes and you will only have to perform this initial step the first time you play.
Insert Adjustable Zip Ties into the Lids

Make sure your adjustable zip ties are inserted into the hole in the side of the lids. You can adjust the zip ties to have larger or smaller loops, depending on how challenging you want the game to be. The loops will be what you try to hook in order to snag a beer.
Snap the Lids on the Cans

Snap the lids directly over the top of your cans. Our custom lids fit a variety of can sizes from slim to your average beer can.
Fill Your Cooler with Ice

You can use a variety of containers such as a large cooler, plastic tub or even a kiddie pool. Once you load it up with ice, place all the beer cans with lids and zip ties facing upwards.
Put the Hook on Your Fishing Pole

Once you tie the hook on your fishing pole you are ready to drop your line and see what you catch! Just remember, this is not a game of catch and release, and you must drink what you reel in.
