FAQs
What type of line can I use?
You can use monofilament or braided lines with this reel. Make sure to check the line capacity to ensure it matches your fishing needs.
How do I adjust the brakes?
The reel has both centrifugal and magnetic brakes. The centrifugal brakes are adjusted with the pins inside the side plate, while the magnetic brake is usually adjusted externally with a dial. Experiment with both to find the optimal setting for your casting.
How often should I lubricate the reel?
It is recommended to lubricate the reel after every few uses or when you notice the reel is not operating as smoothly as usual. Regular lubrication will extend the life of your reel.
What is the gear ratio of this reel?
The gear ratio is 5.3:1, which provides a balance between speed and power for retrieval.
What is the purpose of the line-out alarm?
The line-out alarm alerts you to fish activity, helping you to detect strikes more effectively.
How do I clean the reel?
Rinse the reel with fresh water after each use to remove salt and debris. Use a soft cloth to dry the reel. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
Where can I find replacement parts?
You can usually find replacement parts through authorized dealers or directly from the manufacturer.
Troubleshooting
Casting distance is shorter than expected.
Check and adjust the brake settings (both centrifugal and magnetic) to suit your casting style and wind conditions. Ensure the line is spooled correctly and the reel is properly lubricated.
Reel feels stiff or difficult to crank.
Clean and lubricate the reel. Check for any debris or sand that may have entered the mechanism. Ensure the drag is not over-tightened.
