Features and Operations Instructions
Dual Braking System
™
Your reel is equipped with an easy-to-use Dual Braking System. This system
should be used to help eliminate backlash. It combines a 4-pin internal centrifugal
braking system with an externally adjustable 10-position magnetic system. Simply
rotate the dial on the palming sideplate to increase or decrease the magnetic force
that is exerted on the spool assembly. The 4-pin centrifugal system is engaged
automatically and requires no manual adjustment.
Cast Control System
The cast control knob is located on the handle side under the star drag. Its purpose
is to apply continuous friction to the end of the spool shaft, assisting the centrifugal
brake system in maintaining the correct spool speed. This helps to prevent
backlashes.
To set the cast control, tie on your lure and reel it to the tip of the rod. Tighten the
knob until it feels snug. Push the thumb bar. Your lure should not move. Hold the rod at
a 2 o’clock position and slowly turn the knob counter-clockwise until the lure starts to
fall. Let the lure hit the ground and watch the spool. The spool should not spin more
than one revolution after the lure hits the ground. If it spins more than one revolution,
tighten the cast control knob and repeat the procedure. If the spool does not spin after
the lure hits the ground, the cast control is set too tight. Loosen the knob and repeat
the procedure.
Star Drag
Your reel has a powerful star drag for pinpoint settings. 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.
Palming Sidecover Removal (Downward Twist)
To remove the palming sidecover, loosen the thumbscrew located at the top of the
gear side until it is no longer threaded. Then pull outward on the screw cap and twist
the palming sidecover downward. It can then be removed by pulling straight outward.
To put the sidecover back in its original position, simply insert it back into the frame
and twist upward. Then retighten the thumbscrew.

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 that can
be found 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 will 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 freshwater.
Dry with a soft cloth and lubricate the reel as described above.
