APPLICATION AND DETAILS

Filling Spool with Line – You will find that it is easier to fill the spool with line while the reel is mounted on a rod. Open the bail, tie line to the spool, then turn the reel handle forward to close the bail. Keep the line under tension with your fingers while turning the handle to spool the line onto the reel. IMPORTANT: The line must come off its storage spool and onto the reel spool in the same direction that the bail is turning in order to avoid line twist. Fill the spool to about 90% full. Do not overfill–this will cause the line to coil off the edge of the spool and tangle. Do not under fill–this will decrease the reel’s casting efficiency. Line clip on the spool hold line neatly in place once you have filled the spool with line.
Setting Drag – The drag knob sets the spool’s tension, which allows the line to be pulled out under a certain force. Turning the drag knob clockwise increases drag, rotating it counter clockwise decreases drag. Set your drag with the reel on the rod you will be using, with line fully strung through rod guides. Put the reel’s anti-reverse lever to the RIGHT position. Hold the rod at a 45° angle and have someone pull on the line while you decide on the proper drag tension. Or you can tie the line to a stationary object and back up while holding the rod at the same 45° angle. Once you make the initial drag setting, it can be easily adjusted if needed.
SelectiveAnti- Reverse System – Simply flip the switch on the back of the reel to the LEFT, then anti-reverse is engaged. This means the handle will not rotate backwards. Flipping the switch to the RIGHT will disengage the anti-reverse and allow the handle to rotate freely in either direction.
Convert handle side. – Remove the knob opposite to the handle. Pull out the handle, install it to your favorable side, and then screw the knob back on the other side.

CARE AND LUBRICATION

This Darkness spinning reel is designed to provide years of dependable service, but as with all precise instruments, some care is required:

Periodically use a light machine oil to lubricate the line roller, the main shaft under the spool, and all moving parts of the bail and handle.
Every time after fishing, clean it thoroughly with soft cloth.
Please take special care to avoid the scratch of the rim of the spool. Do not place it on the cement floor or rocks surface. Once the reel’s surface becomes rough, it will greatly affect the cast.
The internal structure of spinning reel is very complex, please be cautious when trying to disassemble it.
