Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law, there are no warranties or
conditions, express or implied, other than those expressly set out herein. Bass Pro
Shops shall not, under any circumstances, be liable for an amount greater than the

Reel Care And Lubrication
Your new reel is designed to provide years of dependable service. But like any
other precision machine, periodic cleaning and maintenance is required for
continued peak performance.
Reels made today require both a lightweight oil and grease. Oil and grease should
be used sparingly; too much can have a negative impact on reel performance.
There are lightweight oils and greases made specically for shing reels that can
be found at basspro.com
As a rule of thumb, oils should be used to lubricate any moving part on the reel,
e.g. ball bearings, bushings, handle joints, bail springs, etc. Grease should be used
to lubricate the main drive gear and pinion gear.
We do not recommend using any multipurpose oils. Many of these oils have
properties that will attract dirt and dust to the internal parts. This may cause
excessive wear and reduce the life of the reel.
After each trip, the reel should be checked for dirt or sand. If it has been exposed
to saltwater, the spool should be removed and the entire reel rinsed in freshwater.
Dry with a soft cloth and lubricate the reel as described above.

Features and Operations Instructions
Aluminum Alloy Frame and Sidecover
The frame and sidecover of the reel are made of an aluminum alloy. This
construction prevents the reel from twisting under load (torque). This ability to resist
torque keeps the gear train in perfect alignment and provides a smooth retrieve when
ghting a sh.
Skeletal Rotor Design
This reel’s rotor utilizes a solid skeletal framework design that enhances strength
while ensuring smooth resistance-free performance.
Powerlock™ Instant Anti-Reverse
Your reel is equipped with our Powerlock instant anti-reverse system. This is a
special type of bearing that allows the handle to only turn forward. There is no play in
the handle so you have complete control during the retrieve and no “loose” feeling,
which is important during stop-and-go retrieves.
Front Drag
Your reel is equipped with a drag system to help you ght stronger, faster sh
without the risk of breaking your line. The drag can be adjusted by turning the knob on
the front side or spool end of the reel. To properly set the drag, you will need a spring
scale. Your drag should be set at 25% of the test rating of your line. Tie a loop in the
end of your main line. Run it though the guides of your rod and attach it to the hook on
the scale. Pull the scale until it registers 25% of the line rating. If you are using 6 lb.
test, then you should set your drag to start slipping at 1.5 lbs.
Mag Spool Technology™
Mag Spool Technology utilizes a 30% wider spool than most standard spinning
reels and thus delivers longer casts, better line lay, smoother drag, and far less line
twist. The spool is also forged-aluminum for increased strength and double-anodized
to provide corrosion resistance.
Machined-Aluminum Handle
Your reel comes equipped with an exceptionally strong machined-aluminum handle
for peak durability. It has been anodized to prevent corrosion.
Braid-Ready Spare Aluminum Spool
This reel includes a spare spool designed specically for use with braided line. The
spool’s larger diameter reduces the need for ller. A special braid band also creates a
textured surface that allows braided line to be tied directly to the spool.
