Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the life of your 6K Feeder Reel, ensure the line is correctly spooled under tension to take advantage of the worm shaft oscillation. For compatibility, this reel is best paired with 10ft to 12ft feeder rods. Regarding care, regularly rinse the reel with a damp, clean cloth to remove mud or salt residue after use. Do not submerge the reel in water. Periodically check the line roller for debris to ensure the Even Flow system continues to function, and apply a light drop of high-quality reel oil to the handle knob and bail arm hinge annually.
