Features and Operations Instructions
Double-Anodized Aluminum Spool
The spool has been double-anodized to provide years of corrosion resistance.
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.
Adjustable Dual Braking System
™
Your reel is equipped with Dual Braking System. It uses both a centrifugal brake
system and an externally adjustable magnetic brake system. The braking system is
used to help prevent backlashes while casting. You can adjust the centrifugal brake
mechanism by removing the palming side-plate. Once open, you will see a flat disk
attached to the spool assembly. A dial with two indicators is located near the center
around the tip of the spool shaft. This dial controls the 4 brake shoes built into the
disk. The dial can be adjusted from 0 to 4 to engage the desired number of brake
shoes. When engaged, the brake shoes exert outward pressure against the spool
housing, creating friction and preventing spool overruns. The greater the number of
brakes engaged, the more dramatic the impact on spool speed. The magnetic braking
system provides additional stopping power when a lure or bait hits the water during a
cast. The external dial can be adjusted to a wide range of settings from 0 to10. As the
setting number is increased, a magnet-lined pad within the side-plate is extended
toward the spool. The higher the setting, the greater the resistance provided by the
magnets. The dial should be adjusted whenever a lure or bait is changed to maintain
the desired stopping effect.
Star Drag
Your reel has a powerful star drag for fighting stronger, faster fish. The drag
washers provide a smooth, even flow of line when a fish 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.
Reel Care And Lubrication
Your new reel is designed to provide years of dependable service. But like any
other precision machine, periodic cleaning and maintenance is required for
continued peak performance.
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.
There are lightweight oils and greases made specifically for fishing reels at
basspro.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 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 fresh water.
Dry with a soft cloth and lubricate the reel as described above.
