C. THE REVO® FAMILY OF SPINNING REELS:
The Revo® family of spinning reels includes the Premier, SX and S.
D. HOW TO FILL THE SPOOL WITH LINE
All Revo® spinning reels are designed for monofilament, braid and fluorocarbon lines.
Personal preference and fishing conditions will determine line selection.
Mono and Fluorocarbon lines
1) Attach reel to rod and pass the line through the rod guides. Lift up on the bail wire to open
the bail (see picture). Secure the line to the reel using the spool axle knot (pictured). Pull line
tight around reel spool.
2) Control the filler spool by inserting a pencil into the spool hub. While maintaining tension on
the line, wind the reel handle and continue to fill with line to approximately 1/16” (1.5 mm)
inside the upper lip of the reel spool (show picture). Do not overfill.
Braided Line
Revo® spinning reels (with the exception of the Premier) have a reverse corkscrew spool design
that allows braid to be tied directly to the spool without the need for a monofilament backing.
Use the spool axle knot to attach the line to the spool. Before tightening the loop, twist and pass
it over the spool two additional times. Pull the loop tight and fill the spool with line to
approximately 1/16” (1.5 mm) inside the upper lip of the reel spool (show picture). Do not
overfill.
E. HANDLE ASSEMBLY
Your Revo® spinning reel can be configured for right or left handed operation. To convert,
unscrew the handle by rotating it counter clockwise (right). Use a copper coin to unscrew and
remove the handle knob cover on the opposite side of the reel. Insert the handle into the opposite
side of the reel and rotate it clockwise (left) until it is firmly seated. Reinstall the handle knob
cover on the opposite side of the reel.
F. ANTI-REVERSE
The anti-reverse feature prevents the rotor from turning backwards. To engage the anti-reverse
feature, slide the switch to the “On” position. To turn off this feature, slide the lever in the
