The family includes the Record, CS Pro Rocket Black Edition, Linecounter, C4 and C3. D.

If a spring scale is unavailable, tie the line to a secure point. With the rod tip up (about a 45 degree vertical angle), apply pressure by turning the handle. Gradually tighten the drag star. When the line reaches its breaking point, loosen the adjustment star ¼ turn. When not in use, be sure to rotate the drag start to reduce drag pressure. This step will help prevent damage to the drag washers during storage. F.

b) Holding the rod and reel in front of the body, bring the rod backward so the tip reaches a point behind the shoulder. To cast, bring the rod back in front of the body in a single motion without stopping. c) Release the thumb from the spool as the rod is brought forward so that the lure is launched slightly upward and outward toward your target. As the lure approaches the water surface stop the spool with your thumb.
