FIGURE 1

The Clearwater Large-Arbor Cassette features a dependable center line drag system. To adjust the drag, turn the knob (FIGURE 1) clockwise to increase resistance, and counterclockwise to decrease it. The minimum drag setting should never be less than the pressure required to prevent over-running of the line on fast runs. Additional drag may be applied by palming the spool rim with your fingers or palm. The easy drag adjustment is infinitely variable, providing wide-ranging and controllable settings.

The spool release is located in the middle of the reel spool. To remove, depress the spool release latch while simultaneously lifting the spool out of the reel body.

FIGURE 2

Clearwater Large-Arbor Reels have the drag factory installed for left-hand wind (FIGURE 2). To change your reel to right-hand wind, remove spool, pull the keyed bush and clicker plate assembly (PART #19 & #20) off the spindle. Flip the clutch bearing (PART #18) and reassemble.

To remove the cassette, remove the spool, and with your thumbs depress the two knurled sections to push the spool away from the spool.

Your new Clearwater Large-Arbor Cassette Reel has been properly lubricated prior to shipping. However, it should be cleaned and lubricated after extensive use or after contact with dirt or sand. Your reel should receive routine cleaning and maintenance at least twice each year. Lightly lubricate all moving components—handle, center spindle, and gear shaft with Penn reel lube, which is available in tackle shops. Do not put the reel away wet, or into a wet reel case or tackle box. For extended storage, remove both line and backing and loosen the drag.
