CLEANING
After each use, back off the drag completely and
rinse the reel thoroughly with fresh, warm water
giving special attention to the backing and the
perforations in the Spool. (Do not let the reel
soak). The reel should be shaken to remove excess
water and left in an open area (indoors) to dry
overnight. The following day, put the reel through
all of its drag settings and then return to free spool
for storage. Periodically, especially after extensive
exposure to saltwater, the line and backing should
be removed and wiped down with a wet cloth to
remove salt. When the reel, line and backing are
completely dry, the reel should be stored in its
protective pouch.
MAINTENANCE
All reels are lubricated at the factory prior to
assembly and relubrication is generally not neces-
sary. Should you wish to disassemble your reel for
cleaning and/or relubrication, insert a penny into
the Drag Adjustment Stop Nut; unscrew and
remove the Nut. Unscrew the Drag Adjustment
Knob and remove. Turn the Spool backwards
(against the drag) until it moves freely. Remove
the Spool. (Do not unscrew the Signature End
Cap). Clean as necessary and reassemble. If you
wish to lubricate the Cork Drag Disc, use only a
small amount of Tibor Graphite Lube.
Please note:
Monofi lament line is not recom-
mended for use on Tibor reels. Should you have
any questions about line for your reel, please
contact your authorized Tibor dealer.
