INTRODUCTION

With the proven drag system of our Battenkill Mid Arbor Trout

Reel and the benefits of a large arbor reel, the BLA reel offers

maximum line pick up, optimum drag consistency, and superior fish-

stopping power.

• Centre line drag with a carbon and stainless steel surface to fight big

fish

• Precision-machined and anodised from 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum

• Heavily ventilated for optimum weight and balance on your fly rod

• Indexed and numbered drag knob for repeatable drag adjustment

• Easily interchangeable spool

DRAG OPERATION

BLA Trout reels feature a dependable cen-

tre line drag system. To adjust the drag, turn

the knob (figure 1) clockwise to increase

resistance, and counterclockwise to decrease

it. The minimum drag setting should never

be less than the pressure required to pre-

vent over-running of the line on fast runs.

Additional drag may be applied by palming

the spool rim with your fingers or palm. The

easy drag adjustment is infinitely variable,

providing wide-ranging and controllable set-

tings.

SPOOL REMOVAL

The spool release is located in the middle

of the reel spool. To remove, depress the

spool release latch while simultaneously lift-

ing the spool out of the reel body.

RETRIEVAL CONVERSION

All Battenkill Large Arbor reels have the

drag factory installed for left-hand wind

(figure 2). To change your reel to right-hand

wind, unclip the one-way retainer (part #20)

by squeezing the retaining tags. Remove

one-way bearing (part #21) and flip over. Replace clutch retainer.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

Your new Battenkill Large Arbor reel has been properly lubricated

prior to shipping. However, it should be cleaned and lubricated after

extensive use or after contact with dirt or sand. Your reel should

receive routine cleaning and maintenance at least twice each year.

Lightly lubricate all moving components—handle, centre spindle, and

gear shaft with all-purpose grease, which is available in tackle shops.

Do not put the reel away wet, or into a wet reel case or tackle box.

For extended storage, remove both line and backing and loosen the

drag.

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