Configuració

1. Attaching the Reel to the Rod

1. Align the reel foot with the reel seat on your fishing rod.
2. Tighten the reel seat nut securely until the reel is firmly attached and does not wobble. Do not overtighten.

2. Spooling the Line

1. Pass the fishing line through the line guide on the reel.
2. Tie an arbor knot or a similar secure knot to the spool. Ensure the knot is tight and the line is properly seated.
3. Begin winding the line onto the spool, maintaining light tension to ensure even and tight wraps. Fill the spool to approximately 1/8 inch (3mm) from the rim. Overfilling can lead to tangles and casting issues.

Instruccions de funcionament

1. Adjusting the Brake System (Casting Control)

The XRay LTE features an adjustable brake system to prevent backlashes during casting.

• Centrifugal Brake: Adjust the number of active brake weights based on lure weight and wind conditions. More weights provide more braking.
• Magnetic Brake: Use the external dial to fine-tune the magnetic braking force. Higher numbers increase braking.

2. Adjusting the Spool Tension Knob

The spool tension knob controls the free fall of the lure.

1. Attach your lure to the line.
2. Tighten the spool tension knob until the lure holds its position.
3. Gradually loosen the knob until the lure slowly falls to the ground when the thumb bar is pressed. This is your starting point for optimal casting.

3. Ajust del sistema d'arrossegament

The star drag system controls the amount of resistance the line experiences when a fish pulls on it.

• Turn the star-shaped drag knob clockwise to increase drag tension.
• Turn it counter-clockwise to decrease drag tension.
• Set the drag to approximately 25-30% of your line's breaking strength.

4. Càsting

1. Press the thumb bar to disengage the spool.
2. Use your thumb to lightly feather the spool to prevent backlashes during the cast.
3. Release your thumb as you cast forward.
4. Apply thumb pressure again as the lure approaches the target to stop the spool and prevent overruns.

5. Recuperació

Turn the handle clockwise to retrieve the line. The reel will automatically re-engage the spool.
