What I learned from trial and error with mine is that the harder you squeeze the lever the harder it is to real in. Just lightly hold it and then gain slack on the fish with your hand and then real up the slack. I try not to fight the fish just with the real horsing it in so I don't break it.

This reel is what is commonly referred to as a Left handed reel!!! The reel is "handed" by which ever side the handle is on when in position on the rod It is becoming more and more popular with people who are Right handed, as are well over 95% of the country. for the ability to keep the rod in your master hand the entire time you are fishing, and not have to cast, then change hands to reel, , then change hands to cast again!!! people have becum used to cranking with their left hand because of the popularity of open-faced spinning reels, which basically all come with the handle on the left side, thou the great majority, if not all, have the ability to easily change the handle from one side to the other!!! Best of luck, and Make sure you leave a few for me!!! Regards, Jim

I pushed the female end of the cord into one of the holes with a 'clip'. (From inside of reel to the outside). Then I just reeled up the rest of the cord. This way I can plug cord in and reel out the amount of cord I need.

Make sure you have the handle pushed down completely before you roll it out. I did not do that with my first one and that is when I started having trouble with it.

I'm sorry I'm not going to be much help. I've only used these rods with standard reels.

Check the belt first. It might be broken or just dried out and slipping on the pulley. Next, check to make sure your cable is ok. You might need to adjust it to get the belt to engage.

I believe you can just turn the reel around; however mine is a LEFT hand retrieve because that is the way I mounted the reel with the handle pointing toward the left. You have a great reel and should work perfect!

I had a similar issue and found that I needed to adjust the little bobbing pin near the handle, it should be standing straight up at full pressure so try to use a pen to adjust it.

Its not a true reel like on a fishing pole but close. the spool of string ataches to the bow and bolt and you have to pull it in by hand so i sugest wearing gloves.

It's a spinning reel and mine gets stuck every cast but requires some muscle to release it that's all. For the price of ~15 bucks it's not bad.

Check to make sure it's not screwed down too tightly. A little bit of lubricant in the part that spins might help also. The handle really does move it quite nicely. You may want to check to make sure nothing like packing material or debris is stuck in it, effectively jamming it tight.

Actually it may be a little loose as that is a small reel. I used a shimano Sedona 2500 and put a couple of wraps of electrical tape for a snug fit.

im sorry but I do not have a good response for the rod&reel;, first time I put it in the water it broke, waste of money, it worked fine in my living room, lol

yes it is. I received mine back but it tookabout 4 months for them to fix it & send it back.you also pay for shipping & include a check for $7 or $8 S&H.; If you can live with that, then the reel is worth it.thanks

I won't recommend it at all, the rod is ok but the reel? The line got tangled all over and it became useless.

It sounds like you have "locked" the rod in its current position. As I recall you had to turn the rod to tighten it when you got it to the length you wanted. You probably need to turn the rod in the opposite direction to loosen it.

It is heavier than an ultra light reel. Just need to see if it balances well with the rod your using.
