Monofilament nylon line has a tendency to develop 'memory'. That is to say, when line has been wrapped around a spool, it will tend to retain some loops.
This is a normal attribute of monofilament but there are ways to reduce the amount of 'memory' in the line so that it behaves better.After tying on your lure or bait, let the line play out about 40-50 feet in the water, then slowly reel the line back in while applying tension by pinching the line with your fingers at it re-enters the reel. This process 'wets' the line allowing it to become more flexible, while also putting tension in the line to help straighten the loops.Remember, your first few casts are helping to 'relax' the line, and the more casts you make, the easier the line will flow from the reel.
Setting the drag correctly will keep you from losing that fish of a lifetime. The drag is the mechanism that provides resistance when reeling in a fish.
Don't over-set the drag; there should always be a little play in the drag to prevent breaking the line when a fish pulls hard.We recommend a tension setting of about 1/3 of the breakage strength of the line (ex. = 3 to 4 lbs. Of drag).To set the drag correctly, first start by releasing the drag tension. Then as you pull line from the reel, slowly increase the drag tension to the proper setting. The best way to measure the setting is to use a fish scale tied to the line, but you can also simply use your experience in feeling how much tension is best as you pull on the line. Remember, you should always be able to pull line through the tension of the drag to prevent line breakage.

Depending on your reel model, changing your handle to the other side is easily done one of two ways. For some models, simply unscrew the handle screw on the opposite side of the reel from the handle. Pull out the handle assembly and reinsert the handle shaft through the reel on the opposite side of the reel and tighten the handle screw on the other side. For other models, the handle screws directly into the body, so detach it by rotating it in the opposite direction of your retrieve to unscrew. Remove the cap on the opposite side of the reel, screw in the handle by turning it the same direction as your retrieve to tighten and replace the cap on the other side. If all that sounds confusing, just watch the video below and we’ll show you how.
The drag systems in Quantum reels are designed with high-performance materials like ceramics, carbon fiber and stainless steel to stay smooth even when fighting big fish. But your drag still needs to be set properly.To set the drag correctly, start by releasing the drag tension by turning the dial on the front of the spool counterclockwise. Then as you pull line from the reel, slowly turn the dial clockwise to increase the drag tension to the proper setting. A good rule of thumb is to set the drag to about 1/3 the breaking strength of your line (e.g. Test = 3-4 lbs of drag).The best way to measure the setting is to use a fish scale tied to the line, but you can also simply use your experience in feeling how much tension is best as you pull on the line.
Remember, you should always be able to pull line through the tension of the drag to prevent line breakage. Basic Cleaning & MaintenancePeriodically, the spool should be removed and gently rinsed with fresh water, along with the rest of the reel. Then, dry with a soft cloth and use a few drops of light oil to lubricate the line roller, bail hinge springs, crank handle knobs and shaft, beneath the Anti-Reverse ™ selector switch, and where the center shaft exits the top of the reel.Detailed Cleaning & MaintenanceRemove the handle, spool, rotor, side plate and crank gear, use a small brush (paint brush or toothbrush) to clean exposed parts with water and a mild detergent (such as dish washing liquid). Dry with a soft cloth then apply lubricant as suggested in the.
If you are uncomfortable with a more detailed cleaning, contact one of our authorized Quantum.Saltwater Cleaning & MaintenanceAfter each saltwater fishing trip, remove the spool and soak in fresh water, thoroughly rinse the reel body with a light spray of fresh water. Thorough cleaning after each saltwater trip is very important to the life and dependability of your reel. The reason for this is that every time saltwater gets on the reel and dries, it leaves a microscopic coating of “crystalline” salt residue.
This salt coating will not only attack the components in the reel but will create the same wearing and/or binding effect as sand or dirt. Basic Cleaning & MaintenancePeriodically, wipe down the reel with a damp cloth. Remove the palm side cover from the reel. Gently remove the spool. Light oil should be applied to the handle rivets, each end of the spool shaft and the part of the spool shaft that passes through the pinion gear.Detailed Cleaning & MaintenanceApproximately once a year (depending on use) the reel should be thoroughly cleaned and relubricated. Detailed instruction on how to lubricate your baitcast reel can be found in the.
If you do not feel comfortable doing this, send the reel to the nearest authorized.Saltwater Cleaning & MaintenanceAfter each saltwater fishing trip, remove the spool and soak in fresh water, thoroughly rinse the reel body with a light spray of fresh water.

This salt coating will not only attack the components in the reel but will create the same wearing and/or binding effect as sand or dirt.After the saltwater and saltwater residue is rinsed from the reel, use a clean dry cloth to remove the excess water from the reel and spool. Then, using a good quality lubricant that contains 'corrosion inhibitors', apply a light coating on the reel. We recommend using products designed for fishing reels. Your spinning reel has been designed to provide years of dependable performance when properly maintained and lubricated.
The following points document the proper maintenance guidelines that should be used for all spinning reels:. Be sure to exercise care when applying oil and grease and use only small amounts of each when lubricating, as excess is unnecessary and can hinder performance of reel. The more frequent or severe the use, the more often and thoroughly a reel should be serviced. Your reel should be cleaned and re-lubed after each trip of saltwater fishing or if dropped in dirt or sand. Annually the reel should be professionally cleaned and lubricated by an authorized. A detailed lubrication schematic for spinning reels can be. Lubrication points are as follows (some part descriptions will vary from reel to reel):.
Grease: Crank Gear, Crank Shaft, Pinion Gear, Center Shaft Assembly, Pick-up Arm, Roller Wheel, Anti-Reverse ™ Pawl/Ratchet, Spool Washers and Bushings. Oil: Handle Knobs (both ends), Pick-up Pin, Arm Lever (pivot), Kick Lever Mechanism, Ball Bearings, Clutch Screw and Spool Release Mechanism.NOTE: Grease and oil used should be a good quality, light grade product designed for fishing reels.

Choosing the right size spinning reel generally depends on the type of fish you are targeting. For small panfish like crappie and bluegill, smaller spinning reels such as an 05- or 10-size are best.
For larger species such as largemouth bass, walleye and striped bass (fresh and salt), 20- to 50-size reels work the best.Inshore saltwater fishermen may use 20-40-size spinning reels for their targets, while offshore anglers hunting small tuna or dorado will prefer a larger reel in the 50-80-size range. Backlash is caused when the spool spins faster than the line coming off of the reel. To prevent this, you need to set the spool tension knob (located near the handle) and your reel’s braking system to the right setting for the weight of the lure you’re using.First, turn your braking system to the off or free spool setting.

Then hold the rod at a 45° angle, and with the tension knob tightened, slowly back off the tension until your lure starts to slowly drop. You want the spool to stop spinning as soon as the lure hits the ground.Next, adjust the braking system. Begin with the maximum amount of braking dialed up, then gradually reduce from there until you are able to reach the distances you need without causing a backlash.Always remember, casting with a baitcast reel takes practice to make perfect.
