Bearing Maintenance - The Class 5 A.B.E.C. bearings in the ATD are tephlon impregnated in the ball bearing race;
thus, no lubrication is needed for these bearings.
NOTE: Do not lubricate the two small weep holes on the bottom of the reel. These holes are for water to drain
out of the reel.
Wash down your ATD with fresh water after each use. We recommend lightly spraying it to prevent water from being
forced inside. If heavy pressure is needed put the reel in the “Full” drag position. Do not completely submerge the reel into
water. Wipe the exterior parts with an anti-corrosion lubricant. We recommend Corrosion X® by Corrosion Technologies.
Use a good quality reel oil to lubricate all the parts indicated with the oil symbol.
Periodically, check all exterior screws to make sure they are tight. Screws may loosen over time with boat vibrations.
We recommend yearly maintenance of your ATD reel with a service professional. Preventative maintenance of your ATD
reel will keep the internal parts in proper working condition and prolong the life of the reel.
Storage - When storing your ATD reel, put the reel in “Free Spool” and the clicker in the on position.

EVEN DRAG PRESSURE
THE TWINDRAG™SYSTEM
Traditional fishing reel design applies the drag pressure
to only one side of the spool — resulting in uneven pres-
sure placed on reel components and excessive heat
buildup. The TwinDrag™ system applies equal pressure
to both sides of the spool which distributes the drag
friction over the surface of two drag plates instead of
one. That’s 50% of the total drag pressure on each side,
resulting in a smoother drag with less heat build-up and
a balanced load on reel bearings and spool. TwinDrag™
reels also have extremely accurate drag settings with
very little fluctuation. In fact, ATD reels will fluctuate
less than 1-pound in total drag when line is drawn at
any speed. For example: when the drag is set to 20
pounds on a ATD reel, drag pressure will only vary
between 19.5 and 20.5 pounds, or less!

To adjust the clicker for more or less intensity, remove the six 3/32 hex screws on the sideplate. Pull the sideplate apart from
the frame. You now have access to the clicker mechanism inside the frame. Pull the ring apart for less intensity or push closer
together to add intensity. Once adjustment is complete, place the sideplate and spool back into the frame. Reattach screws.

DRAG
VARIANCE
Thanks to the Platinum Twin Drags exclusive Twin Drag technology, the drag tension you set will vary no more than two
pounds when line is pulled off the reel at any speed! Unfortunately, there is another factor which causes drag variance that
needs to be accounted for. This factor is based on how full the reel is with line. When the spool is filled, the line is being
pulled off a high point on the spool. As the amount of line on the spool reduces, the line is pulled from a lower area on the
spool. There is less leverage used when the line is pulled at a lower level, which means the line needs more force to move the
spool against the drag. The drag setting has not been decreased, but the line will encounter increased tension. Account for
the drag pressure to approximately double when 25% of the line has been removed from a full spool.
FILLING
THE SPOOL
Begin filling the Platinum TwinDrag Reel by attaching the line securely to the reel spool. With tension applied to the line, fill
the spool to approximately 1/4” from the spool edge.
NOTE: Filling the spool too close to the spool edge means you will have to level wind perfectly to prevent a high spot from
occurring. If a high spot occurs, the reel will not allow you to retrieve all of the line. Leave room on the spool to level wind
comfortably while fighting a fish.
Because of mono compaction when using ultra light line, we recommend first filling the spool with at least 2/3 dacron line.
Mono Compaction - Mono compaction is a problem that happens with light line. The smaller the mono line diameter, the
more elasticity the line will have. The elasticity is multiplied by the amount of line put on the spool which creates pressure
on the spool. When too much light line is added, the pressure can expand the spool. This could cause the reel to perform with
inconsistent drag pressure or, if enough pressure is built up, break the spool in half. Always put the least amount of ultra-light
line on the reel as needed.
ROD
MOUNTING
Mount the reel on the rod with its rod
clamp. If your reel is a right-handed
model, be sure to mount the reel with
the handle on the right.

OPERATION Basic operation of your Platinum Twin Drag fishing reel is no different from operating any other fishing reel except for setting
the lever drag. The most popular drag setting is to set your drag so when the Main Drag Lever is in the strike position it is
at approximately 30% of your line strength. To obtain this setting, start by adjusting the Main Drag Lever so it is in the Free
Spool position. NOTE: The Preset Lever cannot be adjusted unless the Main Lever is in the free spool position. Then adjust the
Preset Drag Lever by depressing the Preset Button Lock and moving it to the alphabetical letter that provides 30% of drag pressure.
NOTE: Because the Platinum TwinDrag reels are equipped with TwinDrag technology the drag pressure you can apply is
unlimited. Feel free to crank up the drag pressure to your desired setting.
If the drag Preset Drag Lever gets close to the “O” position then the Preset Lever needs to be adjusted to account for drag
washer wear. Simply remove the two phillips head screws(A) and the 3/32 hex screw(B), then move the Preset Lever to the left
of the Preset Support. Lift and remove the lever. Advance the nut clockwise 1/6 turn. Replace the Preset Drag Lever and move
it onto the Preset Support. Replace all the screws.
Your Platinum Twin Drag Reel is equipped with both high speed and low speed retrieve settings. Use high speed for normal
fishing applications and switch to low speed for extra cracking power. Your reel is delivered in the High setting. To shift to low
speed push in the Low Speed Button. To shift to high speed depress the High Speed Button. It is possible to shift from low to
high (with practice) very quickly. If so, you will need to pull the handle knob back (counter-clockwise) toward you in order for
the gears to shift. This is because you have shifted while keeping constant pressure on the gears. Action will unload the gear
pressure to allow the internal gear shift movement.
