Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure peak performance, spool your line carefully, ensuring even distribution across the aluminium spool. The NGT GTS 30 is compatible with various mono-filament and braided lines, provided they fall within the recommended capacity (e.g., 0.18mm to 0.34mm). After use in wet conditions, wipe the reel exterior with a clean, dry cloth to prevent debris accumulation. Periodically check the drag knob to ensure it remains free of grit, and keep the handle hinge lightly lubricated for smooth folding action.
