DRAG VARIANCE
Thanks to the Accurate's exclusive TwinDrag technology, the drag tension you set will vary no more than one pound when line is pulled off the reel at
any speed! Unfortunately, there is another factor which causes drag variance that needs to be accounted for. This factor is based on how full the reel is
with line. When the spool is filled, the line is being pulled off a high point on the spool. As the amount of line on the spool reduces, the line is pulled
from a lower area on the spool. There is less leverage used when the line is pulled at a lower level, which means the line needs more force to move
the spool against the drag. The drag setting has not been decreased, but the line will encounter increased tension. Account for the drag pressure to
approximately double when 25% of the line has been removed from a full spool.
FILLING THE SPOOL
Begin filling the Boss reel by attaching the line securely to the reel spool. With tension applied to the line, fill the spool to approximately 1/4" from the spool
edge.
NOTE: Filling the spool too close to the spool edge means you will have to level wind perfectly to prevent a high spot from occurring. If a high spot
occurs, the reel will not allow you to retrieve all of the line. Leave room on the spool to level wind comfortably while fighting a fish.
Because of mono compaction when using ultra light line, we recommend first filling the spool with at least 2/3 spectra line.
Mono Compaction - Mono compaction is a problem that happens with light line. The smaller the mono line diameter, the more elasticity the line will
have. The elasticity is multiplied by the amount of line put on the spool which creates pressure on the spool. When too much light line is added, the
pressure can expand the spool. This could cause the reel to perform with inconsistent drag pressure or, if enough pressure is built up, break the spool
in half. Always put the least amount of ultra-light line on the reel as needed.
ROD MOUNTING
Mount the reel on the rod with its rod clamp. If your reel is a right-handed model,
be sure to mount the reel with the handle on the right.
