INTRODUCTION
Finally, a large arbor that’s lightweight enough to balance properly with your favorite
rod. Two years in design and development and with 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 two sizes – II (4-6wt lines) & IV (7-9wt lines)
DRAG OPERATION
The Clearwater Large Arbor features a dependable center
line drag system. To adjust the drag, turn the knob FIGURE 1
clockwise to increase resistance, and counterclockwise
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.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
Your new Clearwater Large Arbor 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.

GUARANTEE
Your Clearwater Large Arbor Reel is unconditionally guaranteed against defects in
materials and workmanship. Damaged reels can be repaired on an individual basis
for a reasonable fee, and we do offer a reel cleaning and reconditioning service.

If you have any questions about the operation and maintenance of your new reel,
Orvis Technical Advisors are always available.
