Easy Care Instructions

(AbeLube System Kit recommended)

1. Apply a light coat of pure neat's- foot to the cork drag only if drag feels unsmooth.

2. Keep main shaft, threaded end of the draw bar and the pawl coated with medium to heavy all-purpose grease.

3. Always remove sand and grit after use.

4. Rinse reel in warm, soapy water after each exposure to saltwater. Use a small, soft brush and WD-40 to remove salt residue from hard-to-reach places - screws - holes etc.

5. Always back-off the drag knob to release pres-sure on the main spring when not in use.

6. Store in protective reel case both on and off the rod.

7. When reel is submerged, or, after cleaning, give it a few quick shakes to remove any moisture that might remain between the spool andframe or on the drag surface.
