Various Techniques

Drop Your Rig Quickly
This is an especially effective technique when fishing for squid.
• Normally, the mechanical brake knob is
tightened to slightly brake the free rotation of
the spool to prevent backlash due to the up/
down movement of the vessel.
You can also use the techniques shown
below.
• This reel has an Auto Casting Function. The
motor automatically starts when the rig is
5m or more past the gunwale stop position
and spool resistance is minimized. The motor
automatically stops when the clutch is returned.
* As the motor is in operation during Auto Casting,
engaging the clutch will cause the line to be slightly
wound in but this is not abnormal.
• Point the tip of the rod downward to reduce
guide resistance as shown in the picture on the
right.
