Using the Revo X BFS Low Profile Baitcast Reel is easy. First, make sure your fishing line is properly spooled. You can use either mono or braid according to the capacity specs. Hold the reel with your right hand as it has a right - hand handle. When casting, use a smooth motion and adjust the MagTrax braking system to suit the weight of your lure. For retrieving, turn the handle steadily. When it comes to maintenance, after each use, rinse the reel with fresh water to remove any salt or debris. Wipe it dry with a soft cloth. Periodically, apply a small amount of lubricant to the moving parts, like the bearings and gears, to keep it running smoothly. Remember, avoid exposing the reel to extreme temperatures or rough handling to ensure its long - term performance.
