Maintenance of the reel:

• This reel is contructed so that maintenance is kept to a minimum. However, be sure to check

on the level of grease on the O-ring (26) inside the spool cap (27), after using the reel for

some time. We recommend Molykote 111C grease or similar.

• Put grease on locking screws #2 and the threads on drag knob #1 before use in saltwater.

• Rinse reel after use in saltwater. Do not remove the spool, water may penetrate the drag

system.

• After fishing or when stored, make sure to release the pressure on the drag system.

Caution! Do not touch any moving parts of the reel when a fish is running.

The drag of my fishing reel is not smooth, what can I do? Verified

This can be caused by a washer that is not greased properly or by the washer being soaked with oil. Grease the washer if this has not been done properly. In case the washer is soaked in oil it needs to be replaced.

How do I properly clean and maintain my fishing reel? Verified

To properly clean and maintain your fishing reel, first make sure to remove the line and any debris from the spool. Use a soft brush and mild soap to clean the body and handle of the reel. For the interior, use a small brush and lubricant to clean and protect moving parts. Be sure to also check for any loose or worn parts that may need to be replaced.

How do I properly spool my fishing reel? Verified

To properly spool your fishing reel, first make sure the spool is filled with the appropriate amount and type of line for the fishing you plan to do. Next, thread the line through the guides on your rod and tie it to the reel's spool. Hold the rod and reel at a slight angle and turn the handle to take up the slack line as you simultaneously feed the line onto the spool. Be sure to leave a small amount of line on the spool to prevent the line from tangling or snapping.

Can I use my spinning reel for saltwater fishing? Verified

Yes, spinning reels can be used for saltwater fishing but it is important to properly clean and maintain the reel after each use in saltwater to prevent corrosion. It is also important to use a saltwater-specific line, as it is more durable and resistant to damage from salt and other elements in the water.

What are the different types of fishing reels? Verified

There are several types of fishing reels, including spinning reels, baitcasting reels, spincast reels, and fly reels. Spinning reels are the most popular and versatile type of reel, suitable for most types of fishing. Baitcasting reels are designed for more experienced anglers and are typically used for freshwater fishing. Spincast reels are a hybrid of spinning and baitcasting reels and are easy to use for beginners. Fly reels are used for fly fishing and have a unique design that allows for a smooth and controlled release of line.
