outstanding performance from this reel. See the instructions below for the use and care of your new reel.

APPLICATION AND DETAILS

*Filling Spool with Line - You will find that it is easier to fill the spool with line while the reel is mounted on a
rod. Open the bail, tie line to the spool, then turn the reel handle forward to close the bail. Keep the line under
tension with your fingers while turning the handle to spool the line onto the reel. IMPORTANT: The line must
come off its storage spool and onto the reel spool in the same direction that the bail is turning in order to
avoid line twist. Fill the spool to about 90% full. Do not overfill–this will cause the line to coil off the edge of
the spool and tangle. Do not under fill–this will decrease the reel's casting efficiency. Line clip on the spool
hold line neatly in place once you have filled the spool with line.
* Setting Drag - The drag knob sets the spool's tension, which allows the line to be pulled out under a certain
force. Turning the drag knob clockwise increases drag, rotating it counter clockwise decreases drag. Set your
drag with the reel on the rod you will be using, with line fully strung through rod guides. Put the reel's anti-
reverse lever to the RIGHT position. Hold the rod at a 45° angle and have someone pull on the line while you
decide on the proper drag tension. Or you can tie the line to a stationary object and back up while holding the
rod at the same 45° angle. Once you make the initial drag setting, it can be easily adjusted if needed.
*Selective Anti-Reverse System - Simply flip the switch on the back of the reel to the LEFT, then anti-reverse
is engaged. This means the handle will not rotate backwards. Flipping the switch to the RIGHT will disengage
the anti-reverse and allow the handle to rotate freely in either direction.
*Securing Handle – Before fishing, please make sure your handle is locked tight on the reel. Here is how to
secure your handle. Keep reeling your handle FORWARD until the spool starting spinning to tighten your handle.
When the spool starts to spin, press the spool down and keep reeling your handle about 1/4 round to secure it.
