Firm pressure on thumb brake

holds the line securely in place.

As rod swings backwards, and

then forward, the thumb main-

tains this ﬁrm pressure.

When the rod tip nears the for-

ward limit, remove all pressure

on thumb brake. Practice makes

perfect. You’ll soon know exactly

when to release the line.

Retrieve according to the type of

lure or bait being used. Do not

hold down thumb brake when

reeling in line. It’s a good practice

after every few casts to apply

some tension to the line while

retrieving. This makes the line

tighter on the spool and makes

for better performance.

A properly set drag will save your

catch if you hook a real "ﬁghter".

To tighten the drag, turn the star

drag clockwise. Turn it counter-

clockwise to loosen the drag.

Don’t set the drag too tight. A

ﬁsh could break the line when it

hits the bait or the lure.

Getting Ready to Fish

Run the line through the rod guides and tie on the bait or lure to the

swivel tackle. Reel in until bait or lure is hanging down a few inches

below the rod tip. Set the drag before each use.

Casting - Practice with the Casting Plug

• Depress and hold the thumb brake down to disengage the line for

casting.

• Hold the thumb brake down ﬁrmly during the back cast.

• Point the rod tip slightly above the target, then lift the rod back swift-

ly with the wrist and forearm - allowing the momentum of the lure to

ﬂex the rod.

• Without hesitation, carry the cast back toward the target with a

quick accelerated forward action of the wrist and forearm.

• Release the thumb stop during the forward stroke to cast the line.

If you release the line too soon - It goes too high in the air.

If you release the line too late - The lure ends up right in front

of you and short of the target.

To help control the cast, many experts let

the line run between the

thumb and index ﬁnger of their left hand to “feather” the line after the

lure is on its way to the target. Feathering allows pinpoint accuracy to

bring the line to a slow, gentle stop.

Line Retrieve

To retrieve, switch the rod to the left hand and turn the reel handle for-

ward with the right hand to engage the line pickup.

Playing the Fish

After a ﬁsh has been hooked, always keep a bend in the rod during

the ﬁght by keeping the rod at an angle to the ﬁsh. When the ﬁsh is

not taking a lunge against the drag, we recommend using the rod to

“pump” the ﬁsh. Then quickly reel the line while lowering the rod tip

and prepare to “pump” again. Reel in between pumps. This technique

helps prevent overworking of the reel and it cushions the line against

shock. It also minimizes line tangle and twist caused by reeling in

against the drag or reeling slack line. Most importantly it lets you con-

centrate on catching ﬁsh.

Setting the Drag (before you ﬁsh)

The drag system allows line to be pulled from the reel

under tension without breaking when a ﬁsh strikes or

makes a quick run after being hooked. It also helps

prevent the ﬁsh from getting unhooked. The star drag

adjustment is conveniently located on the inside of the reel handle.

Turn the star clockwise to increase the drag tension on the line. Turn

the star counterclockwise to relieve tension. Set the drag by pulling

the line from the reel against a small ﬁsh hand scale. Adjust the drag

to one-third to one-half the rated strength of the ﬁshing line.

• When a ﬁsh runs, only light tension should be used.

• Too much tension may cause the line to break.

A Few Lines About Line

Apply tension to the line while retrieving. Always maintain tension on

the line. Raise the rod to remove slack from the line. Let the line ﬂow

between the thumb and index ﬁnger of the left hand before entering

the reel (during retrieval only). This minimizes line winding problems

and cleans the line for another trouble-free cast. Line wound evenly

onto the spool under tension also casts better.

How to Tie the Line

To successfully set the hook and land a ﬁsh, it is important that the

line is tied properly. The improved Cinch Knot shown below is an all-

time favorite and widely used knot.

Check Line Condition

The last three feet or so of line should be checked frequently for cuts

or abrasions which may substantially weaken the line and could result

in a broken line and lost ﬁsh. Run the line through your ﬁngers to

check for this condition and cut off any bad line and retie to help pre-

vent future line breakage.

Line life is dependent on many factors. Line should be replaced when

it is old and is breaking easily, when it gets noticeably stiff or gives

continuous trouble while casting. It is not a bad idea to change the

line after a year or normal use.

Line Twist

Line twist is usually caused by improperly installed line or from reeling

against a slipping drag. To correct “line twist” troll line behind a boat

or play it out in a river current and rewind it under tension. Never reel

in when you hear the drag slipping. Always use a high quality ball

bearing swivel at the end of your line to prevent twist.

After repeated use or long periods of storage, line should be stretched

to remove the curl that may be set in the line. Reel out approximate-

ly 50 feet of line. Attach the end of the line to a ﬁxed object. Stretch

the line taut 3 or 4 times by hand until curl is removed. To make sure

your outﬁt stays running as smooth as the day you bought it – give it

periodic attention.

Inside Tangle Tip

Should your line get tangled or caught inside your reel, it can be eas-

ily resolved by removing the side door and the metal spincast cover

and cutting off the damaged line. Run line back through the reel case

and out through the rod guides, reassemble and you are ready to ﬁsh.

Reloading Line

If loading or re-loading your old spool with new line, remember to loop

the line around spool with a half hitch to prevent line slippage.

Rewind line onto the spool under tension. Be sure the new line comes

off of the factory spool in clockwise direction, and is wound onto your

spool in a counterclockwise direction.

See illustration below- at far left.

Run end of line through

eye of hook or lure.

Loop around standing

part of line 6 to 8 times.

Thread tag end back

between the eye and

line coils as shown and

then back through loop.

Pull up

tight and

trim off the

tag end.
