magnetic braking system closer to the spool. As the magnets get closer to the spool, they apply
more braking force and slow the rotation of the spool.
Turn the exterior

brake dial to fine tune spool tension. Rotate the dial towards the
“MAX” label to increase braking force or in the opposite direction to reduce braking force.
- Basic Casting Technique -
a) Depress thumb bar while keeping the tip of the thumb on the spool to control the lure. Hold
the rod and reel so that that handle is pointing upward.
b) Holding the rod and reel in front of the body, bring the rod backward so the tip reaches a
point above and behind the shoulder. To cast, bring the rod back in front of the body in a single
motion without stopping
c) Release the thumb from the spool as the rod is brought forward so that the lure is launched
slightly upward and outward toward your target. As the lure approaches the water surface stop
the spool with your thumb. If you don’t stop the spool as the lure hits the water, the spool will
continue to rotate causing a backlash (a.k.a
bird’s nest
)
In the event that you experience backlashes, tighten the spool tension knob ½ a turn at a time to
apply more braking force until you no longer have an issue with line overrun. Also try casting
with
the wind – instead of against it – until you get comfortable casting without experiencing a
backlash. As you get more comfortable casting, reduce the amount spool tension by rotating the
spool tension knob ¼ turn at a time to maximize casting distance.

MAINTENANCE
As with any precision product, your Orra™ reel will require regular maintenance. Gently rinse
the reel with fresh water, wipe it dry and lubricate according to the accompanying diagram
(picture of oil and grease points). Orra™ Reels are equipped with a main gear access door called
the
Maintenance Port
. This feature allows anglers to easily grease the main gear without taking
the reel completely apart. To use this feature, locate the lube port screw pictured below.
Using a small philips head screwdriver, rotate the screw counterclockwise until free. The small
“door” can now be removed. Lightly grease the exposed main gear with quality grease such as
. Once maintenance has been completed, reposition the door over the
maintenance port and reinstall the maintenance port screw. Tighten the screw with a philips
head screwdriver by rotating it clockwise. Do not over tighten.
