Features and Operations Instructions
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.
Double-Anodized-Aluminum Spool
The spool has been double-anodized to provide years of corrosion resistance.
Macro-Molecular Carbon Frame
This reel's frame is constructed of a macro-molecular carbon composite material. This
high tech material combines the advantages of the strength of aluminum and the
weight of magnesium.
Front Drag
Your reel is equipped with a drag system to help you fight stronger, faster fish without
the risk of breaking your line. The drag can be adjusted by turning the knob on the
front side or spool end of the reel. 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 though 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 6 lb.
test, then you should set your drag to start slipping at 1.5 lbs.
Right- and Left-Hand Retrieve
The handle can be installed on either side of the reel to allow the angler to use his/her
preferred winding hand.

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.
