FAQs
How often should I lubricate the reel?
It is recommended to lubricate the reel after every few uses, or when you notice any stiffness in the retrieve.
What type of line is best for this reel?
The reel is suitable for monofilament, fluorocarbon, and braided lines. Choose the line type and breaking strain appropriate for the target species and fishing conditions.
How do I clean the reel?
Rinse the reel with freshwater after each use. Use a soft cloth to wipe down the exterior. For more thorough cleaning, disassemble the reel (refer to the manual) and clean the internal components with a suitable cleaner and lubricant.
What is the gear ratio, and why is it important?
The gear ratio is 4.8:1, meaning the spool rotates 4.8 times for every full turn of the handle. This ratio offers a good balance of speed and power, suitable for carp fishing.
What is the purpose of the free spool mechanism?
The free spool mechanism allows the fish to take the bait without feeling any resistance, increasing the chance of a successful hookset.
What kind of maintenance is required?
Regular cleaning, lubrication, and inspection for wear and tear. Store the reel in a cool, dry place when not in use.

Retrieve feels stiff or rough.
Clean and lubricate the reel's internal components, paying attention to the ball bearings. Check for any debris that may be causing the issue.
Free spool mechanism is not working correctly.
Check for any obstructions or debris in the free spool mechanism. Make sure the adjustment is set correctly.
