HOW A LEVER DRAG OPERATES
Pre-programming and operating your lever drag is very easy. The drag adjustment
range is almost infinite and is based on line strength. The basic formula is to set
the "STRIKE" drag at approximately one-third of the line test. For example, if you
are using 20 lb. test, the strike drag should be no more than 7 lbs. Using 30 lb.
test, it should be no more than 10 lbs.
To pre-program the drag:
Start by moving the lever to "FREE" and turning the pre-program knob clockwise to
increase the drag range. Now move the lever forward to the "STRIKE" position
where it will automatically stop. Pull line from the reel or check the scale reading
as the line is released. Continue to fine tune your drag range adjustments (with
the lever at "FREE" each time) until you are satisfied with the tension at "STRIKE".
Warning: Always make changes to the pre-programming knob with the lever in
"FREE" because turning the pre-programming knob with the lever in strike may
damage the reel.
Fishing:
Once you have established your drag setting, you can return to the pre-
programmed "STRIKE" settings at all times. Your reel will "remember" this setting
forever, so you will never be in doubt about what drag pressure you are exerting
on the fish.
pressure on a fish just depress the strike stop button located in the drag lever
quadrant so you can move the lever toward the "FULL" position. This will gradually
increase the drag force, up to an additional 70%, to its maximum control. This
setting is to be used with caution since the combination of programmed control
and increased line leverage may exceed your line strength. It is recommended
that the "STRIKE" setting be checked before each use and after encountering any
long running fish.
