Features and Operations Instructions
1-Piece Aluminum Frame and Aluminum Spool
The 1-piece aluminum frame design enhances strength and durability, allowing for
sustained peak performance over time. The spool is made from lightweight aluminum
for reduced weight and longer casts. These parts have been anodized to protect
from corrosion.
Adjustable Magnetic Braking System
Your reel is equipped with an easy-to-use, externally adjustable magnetic brake
system. This system should be used to help eliminate backlash. Simply rotate the dial
on the left sideplate to increase or decrease the amount of magnetic force applied to
the spool. The more force that is applied, the faster the spool stops spinning.
Powerlock™ Instant Anti-Reverse
Your reel is equipped with our Powerlock instant anti-reverse system. This is a special
type of bearing that allows the handle to only turn forward. There is no play in the
handle, so you have complete control during the retrieve and no loose feeling, which is
important during stop-and-go retrieves.
Cast-Control Knob
The Cast-Control Knob is located on the handle side under the star drag. Its purpose
is to apply continuous friction to the end of the spool shaft, assisting the braking
system in maintaining the correct spool speed. This helps to prevent backlashes. To
set the cast control, tie on your lure and reel it to the tip of the rod. Tighten the knob
until it feels snug. Push the thumb bar. Your lure should not move. Hold the rod at a
2 o'clock position and slowly turn the knob counterclockwise until the lure starts to fall.
Let the lure hit the ground and watch the spool. The spool should not spin more than
1 revolution after the lure hits the ground. If it spins more than 1 revolution, tighten
the cast-control knob and repeat the procedure. If the spool does not spin after the
lure hits the ground, the cast control is set too tight. Loosen the knob and repeat
the procedure.
Star Drag
Your reel has a powerful star drag for pinpoint settings. The Te on
drag washers provide a smooth even ow of line when a sh surges to prevent the line
from breaking. Even when wet, these washers won't slip or grab. The star drag is the
star-shaped wheel located behind the reel handle. To adjust, simply turn forward to
increase drag or turn backward to decrease the amount of drag.
Bait Clicker
A frame-mounted bait clicker provides an audible warning that the sh is taking your
line both in free spool and when the spool is engaged.

Your new reel is designed to provide years of dependable service. But like any other
precision machine, periodic cleaning and maintenance is required for continued
peak performance.
Reels made today require both a lightweight oil and grease. Oil and grease should be
used sparingly; too much can have a negative impact on reel performance. There are
lightweight oils and greases made speci cally for shing reels that can be found
at basspro.com
As a rule of thumb, oils should be used to lubricate any moving part on the reel, e.g.,
ball bearings, bushings, handle joints, bail springs, etc. Grease should be used to
lubricate the main drive gear and pinion gear.
We do not recommend using any multipurpose oils. Many of these oils have
properties that will attract dirt and dust to the internal parts. This may cause
excessive wear and reduce the life of the reel.
After each trip, the reel should be checked for dirt or sand. If it has been exposed to
saltwater, the spool should be removed and the entire reel rinsed in freshwater. Dry
with a soft cloth and lubricate the reel as described above.
