Names and functions of each part Free spool adjustment - It adjusts brake tension on the spool to prevent backlash or line slack caused by dropping the line with hook and sinker. Power lever - You can freely adjust winding power, or winding speed, from zero(ON/OFF) to maximum, by 32 steps, by using the lever.

Page 10 Names of the buttons and the display JIG/PICKUP BUTTON Selection between pickup and jigging can be done in the mode setting display.(One of them should necessarily be chosen.) Pickup -You can wind only while pressing this button. This function is useful to wind up line slack and attract fish. -Winding speed can be changed within the range of 0-Hi with the mode setting display.
Page 11 Line data input (Daiwa braided line) All you have to do is just to input line data spooling the reel with Daiwa Braided Line. It is a useful method because it requires less data input. Run line through the levelwind guide and tie it onto the spool.
Page 12 (JIG/PICKUP) BUTTON. This completes the operation and returns to (0.0m). The SEABORG 300FB has data PE4-300m for the above Daiwa braided lines stored in the reel’s memory. Therefore, when winding these lines, there is no need for additional data input.
Page 13 Line data input (When line length is known) This method is used when the line length is known before winding. In the example below, PE4-250m is wound. Run line through the levelwind guide and tie it onto the spool. Levelwind Guide The levelwind threader makes this process easier.
Page 14 Line data input (When line length is known) Pull the lever back to the OFF position, after winding. Do not reel in the end of the line Power lever Do not wind the end of the line onto the spool because it causes incorrect length calculation.
Page 15 Line data input (With backing line) This method requires use of Daiwa braided line that is color coded to show length and has a total length greater than 100 m. Run the backing line through the levelwind guide and tie it onto Levelwind Guide the spool.

Example) Three-step jigging Three-step jigging (Preference setting) 5 seconds interval time MODE BUTTON Interval time (5sec) Three-step jigging Interval time (5sec)
Page 32 Functional setting operation (10. Display revision) Display revision You can recalibrate the counter should it not indicate an accurate depth compared to depth markings on your line. The counter setting can be changed while fishing. Example below is the case in which, though the counter shows 103 m, color markings on the line indicate 100 m.
Page 33 Functional setting operation (10. Display revision) Move the power lever to change the displayʼs reading to 100.0. (Occasionally, for the revision rate, the exact number cannot DOWN be attained.) Setting exactly to 100.0 may be difficult. If so, set the display as close as possible.
