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. If you don’t stop the spool as the lure hits the water, the spool will
continue to rotate causing a backlash (a.k.a bird’s nest)
- Line Out Alarm (select models) –
The line out alarm switch engages an audible alarm to alert the angler that the line is moving
from the spool. It is most useful when trolling or still fishing. The line out alarm must be
disengaged when casting and should also be released when retrieving line or fighting fish.
H. MAINTENANCE
As with any precision product, your ambassadeur reel will require regular maintenance. Gently
rinse the reel with fresh water and wipe it dry with a soft cloth. To keep your reel working at
peak efficiency, clean and lubricate after each use. At least once a season your reel should be
disassembled for a thorough cleaning and re-lubrication. Maintenance Kits can be purchased at
your local tackle store and include everything you need to properly service your reel. If you do
not wish to perform this work yourself any nearby
is fully qualified
to do this for you.
