open or closed bail
1.
2.
The Bail Arm (24) can be either set to an Open or Closed position-see Figure 1.
When in the closed or down position, the Bail Arm (24) prevents line from being released and coming
off of the Spool. When the Bail is opened, the line is ready to be released during a cast.
3.
Crank the Handle to close the Bail Arm.
loading the spool
1.
2.
Open up the Bail Arm (24). Tie new line to the Spool Assembly (13). Close the Bail Arm (24) and
begin winding the line on.
Make certain that the new line comes off the filler spool in the same direction it would come off the
Spool Assembly (13). Keep tension on the line while winding. This can be done by feeding the line
through a cloth in-between thumb and forefinger.
setting drag
Setting drag is a procedure used to reduce line breakage when the line is under stress.
1.
Set the drag by running the fishing line over the Bail and through the line guides. Tie the fishing
line to a secure point.
2.
3.
With the rod at an angle of about 45 degrees, apply pressure to the line.
Turn the Drag Knob Assembly (2) toward either the “Less” (counterclockwise-when facing knob) or
“More” (clockwise) drag setting-see Figure 1. Adjust as necessary.
the line clip
The Line Clip (28) is located on top of the Spool Assembly (13). Use the Line Clip (28) to hold the line
firmly when the Bail is open. It will retain the end of the line when the Fishing Reel is not in use.
casting

4.
Grasp the rod with your rod hand. Capture the fishing line between your forefinger and the rod and
open the bail.
With the bail open, swing the rod back behind your shoulder and then back out again in a smooth
arc, releasing the line. When bait or lure hits the water, turn handle to reset Bail arm.
Effective casting takes practice. Become familiar with casting procedures by practicing in your yard
or on location. When practicing in a yard, do not use sharp hooks.
Cast safely and efficiently; use eye protection to protect your eyes from sharp hooks during casting
procedures.
