Congratulations on your purchase of a MegaCast Baitcast Reel! This reel is
®
manufactured with the highest-quality components and has been extensively
tested to ensure that your day on the water is more productive. Please take a
moment to familiarize yourself with the integrated performance-enhancing
features of this reel before use. This will help you to optimize the reel's
settings and even further increase your shing success. We wish you the best
of luck in your future angling adventures!
Graphite Frame
The frame was designed to be lightweight, durable, and corrosion-resistant.
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.
Star Drag
Your reel has a powerful star drag for ghting stronger, faster sh. The 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. To properly set the drag, you will need a spring scale. Your drag should
be set at 25% of the test rating of your line. Tie a loop in the end of your main
line. Run it through the guides of your rod and attach it to the hook on the
scale. Pull the scale until it registers 25% of the line rating. If you are using a
10-lb. test, then you should set your drag to start slipping at 2.5 lbs.
Double-Anodized-Aluminum Spool
The spool has been double anodized to provide years of corrosion resistance.
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.
Care and Lubrication
Gear
Ratio Your new reel is designed to provide years of dependable service. But
like any other precision machine, periodic cleaning and maintenance are
6.6:1
required for continued peak performance.
6.6:1
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. Lightweight oils and grease made speci cally for shing reels
can be found at basspro.com and cabelas.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.
