INTRODUCTION
Finally, a die-cast aluminum large arbor lightweight enough to balance properly with
your favorite rod. Two years in design and development resulted in a powerful disc
drag that can hold its own with high-performance machined reels.
• Large arbor spool design
• Inline disc drag
• Easily converted to either left- or right-hand retrieve
• Positive click drag knob for consistent settings every time
• Offered in a IV cassette version (6-8wt. lines)
DRAG OPERATION
The Clearwater
®
Large-Arbor Cassette features a dependable
center line drag system. To adjust the drag, turn the knob
FIGURE 1clockwise to increase resistance, and counter-
clockwise to decrease it. The minimum drag setting should
never be less than the pressure required to prevent
over-running of the line on fast runs. Additional drag may be
applied by palming the spool rim with your fingers or palm.
The easy
drag adjustment is infinitely variable, providing
wide-ranging and controllable settings.
SPOOL REMOVAL
The spool release is located in the middle of the reel
spool. To remove, depress the spool release latch while
simultaneously lifting the spool out of the reel body.
RIGHTHAND CONVERSION
Clearwater Large-Arbor Reels have the drag factory
installed for left-hand wind FIGURE 2. To change your
reel to right-hand wind, remove spool, pull the keyed bush
and clicker plate assembly PART #19 & #20 off the spindle.
Flip the clutch bearing PART #18 and reassemble.
CLEARWATER LARGE ARBOR CASSETTE
To remove the cassette, remove the spool,
and with your thumbs depress the two knurled
sections to push the spool away from the spool.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
Your new Clearwater Large-Arbor
Cassette Reel has been properly lubricated prior to
shipping. However, it should be cleaned and lubricated after extensive use or after
contact with dirt or sand. Your reel should receive routine cleaning and maintenance at
least twice each year. Lightly lubricate all moving components—handle, center spindle,
and gear shaft with Penn reel lube, which is available in tackle shops. Do not put the
reel away wet, or into a wet reel case or tackle box. For extended storage, remove
both line and backing and loosen the drag.
