Installation & Maintenance
Schematics: To assist with the assembly of this complex heavy-duty bail system, please reference the PDF schematics available at: www.reelschematic.com
Lubrication Recommendation: Given the saltwater environment these reels are used in, proper lubrication is critical. We recommend using Deuthlon ceramic reel grease or heavy-duty oil. Their specialized formula provides a hydrophobic barrier against saltwater intrusion and ensures the bail mechanism operates smoothly without seizing.
