Accurate Technology Platinum TwinDrag Reel, Usage Manual, Page: 12 / 12

OPERATION Basic operation of your Platinum Twin Drag fishing reel is no different from operating any other fishing reel except for setting
the lever drag. The most popular drag setting is to set your drag so when the Main Drag Lever is in the strike position it is
at approximately 30% of your line strength. To obtain this setting, start by adjusting the Main Drag Lever so it is in the Free
Spool position. NOTE: The Preset Lever cannot be adjusted unless the Main Lever is in the free spool position. Then adjust the
Preset Drag Lever by depressing the Preset Button Lock and moving it to the alphabetical letter that provides 30% of drag pressure.
NOTE: Because the Platinum TwinDrag reels are equipped with TwinDrag technology the drag pressure you can apply is
unlimited. Feel free to crank up the drag pressure to your desired setting.
If the drag Preset Drag Lever gets close to the “O” position then the Preset Lever needs to be adjusted to account for drag
washer wear. Simply remove the two phillips head screws(A) and the 3/32 hex screw(B), then move the Preset Lever to the left
of the Preset Support. Lift and remove the lever. Advance the nut clockwise 1/6 turn. Replace the Preset Drag Lever and move
it onto the Preset Support. Replace all the screws.
Your Platinum Twin Drag Reel is equipped with both high speed and low speed retrieve settings. Use high speed for normal
fishing applications and switch to low speed for extra cracking power. Your reel is delivered in the High setting. To shift to low
speed push in the Low Speed Button. To shift to high speed depress the High Speed Button. It is possible to shift from low to
high (with practice) very quickly. If so, you will need to pull the handle knob back (counter-clockwise) toward you in order for
the gears to shift. This is because you have shifted while keeping constant pressure on the gears. Action will unload the gear
pressure to allow the internal gear shift movement.
