OPERATION
Basic operation of your Boss Xtreme fishing reel is no different from operating any other fishing reel except for setting the lever drag.
The most popular drag setting is to set your drag so when the main drag lever is in the strike position it is at approximately 30% of your
line strength. To obtain this setting, start by adjusting the main drag lever so it is in the free spool position. NOTE: The preset knob
cannot be adjusted unless the main lever is in the free spool position. Then adjust the preset drag knob by moving it clockwise or counter
clockwise. Be careful while turning the preset knob counter clockwise. If the knob is turned back too far it will lock in place. Move your main drag
lever to the strike position. If the drag is too light or heavy, repeat the process until you've reached your desired drag pressure.
2-SPEED FUNCTION
Your Boss Xtreme TwinDrag reel is equipped with both high speed and low speed retrieve settings. Use high speed for normal fishing applications
and switch to low speed for extra cranking power. Your reel is delivered in the high setting. To shift to low speed, push in the low speed button. To
shift to high speed, depress the high speed button. It is possible to shift from low to high (with practice) very quickly. If so, you will need to pull the
handle knob back (counter-clockwise) toward you in order for the gears to shift. This is because you have shifted while keeping constant pressure on
the gears. Action will unload the gear pressure to allow the internal gear shift movement.
