Spool Tension Knob
When using a baitcast reel, the spool tension knob must
be adjusted properly to allow peak casting performance.
To properly set the spool tension, perform the following
procedure:
a)
With line, lure and rod assembled, hold
the rod at a 45º angle.
b)
Press the thumb bar while
holding the spool with your thumb.
c)
Finely adjust the
spool tension knob until the lure slowly descends to the
ground as thumb pressure frees the spool. The spool
should stop at the instant the lure touches the ground.
Quick-Access Spool
Your Quantum baitcast reel has a unique bayonet-
mounted side plate for quick, convenient access to the
spool to make cleaning and lubrication easier. Just slide
the button on the bottom of the side cover, and rotate
the cover downward about 1/4 turn. You can then pull
the side cover from the frame and remove the spool.
Changing spools in a baitcast reel was never easier. Plus,
the sleek, ergonomic side covers and body have no
external fasteners to catch line or clothing.
