FAQs
Is this reel suitable for saltwater fishing?
The Demonic Finesse is primarily designed for freshwater finesse applications. If used in saltwater, ensure thorough freshwater rinsing after every trip.
Does this reel include fishing line?
No, this model ships without line or braid pre-installed.
What does LHW stand for?
LHW stands for Left Hand Wind, meaning the reel handle is positioned for the left hand.
Can I use heavy monofilament with this reel?
It is optimized for finer braids and lines; using very thick monofilament will significantly reduce your line capacity and casting distance.
How do I adjust the braking system?
The brake adjustment is typically located on the side plate; refer to your manual for specific click-settings to match your lure weight.
Troubleshooting
Excessive backlash when casting
Increase the spool tension adjustment and ensure you are using a smooth casting motion.
Reel handle feels gritty
Check for debris near the handle base and apply a small amount of reel oil to the handle gear contact points.
Short casting distance
Ensure the line is not overspooled and that the magnetic or centrifugal braking system is properly set for your lure weight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize performance, pair the 100 LHW with a medium-light or light finesse casting rod. When spooling, ensure you use the recommended line capacity of 0.10mm/150m to avoid overfilling, which can cause birdnesting.
- Spooling: Use high-quality thin-diameter braid for the best casting performance.
- Calibration: Adjust the spool tension knob until your lure falls slowly to the ground without creating an overrun when the spool stops.
- Maintenance: Periodically wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth and store the reel in a dry environment.
- Lubrication: Apply a light synthetic reel oil to the accessible bearing points every few months to maintain the smooth rotation.
