Most fly reels do not have a drag button. You control the drag buy holding onto the fly line.

Open up the settings page, and in the search bar type "tap". Then click the bottom option that says "Enable tap dragging".

This will work fine. If you set your drag too high itll snap the rod easier than a better quality rod, but thats to be expected.

An internet search to "change eagle claw reel retrieve" will show you how. Mine was set up for a left hand retrieve right out of the box.

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

It sounds like you need a blade adjustment. The cutting reel and stationary blade should be just short of making contact -see the manual for directions. Also there is a handle height adjustment.

I will be using mine without a reel. Take about 18 ft mono, tye one end where the reel go's,run the line through the eye's,then stretch out the rod.You now have 10 ft of rod and about 8 ft of line and hook an bait to swing out under a tree overhanging the water. You have to walk easy,keep way down,and creep up Swing out your bait and you should catch plenty. Worm or cricket or knock down out of a tree a wasp nest somewhere and use the white pupi inside. That is how i catch perch! answer to question The 10 foot rod gives me more reach without casting.

Sounds like user error... I have no issue, I am an experienced paddler and I don't have any issue. Make sure everything is pumped up evenly and your skegs are in good shape.

Always do a balance test with your rod & reel but this should be equally dispersed from end to end. Will work fine but always keep in mind what you are fishing for???

No, you can not drag this tip. This is a very low quality machine. It runs through consumables like water. Save your money and get a Hypertherm.

It will handle just fine but the drag wont last long with those drag burner fish . If you can afford a boat and fish for Mahi and triper , you should beef up you tackle

The knob adjusts the drag. The objective is to tighten the knob to the point that the spool will let out line if the line is close to breaking. If you get a big fish and it is pulling hard enough, line should come off the reel by the spool spinning backwards. As the fish tires and you reel in you get the line back on the spool. If the knob is too loose it is difficult to fish. If it is too tight the line will break. Adjust the knob to where if you give the line a good tug some will come off the reel.

My reel came with line and seems to come off fine. I use it for bowfishing....only downside it its weight.

the weight of the fly line needs to match the fly rod & it is based on the weight of the lures you intend to use, otherwise it won't cast properly. check your rod, it is listed somewhere close to the butt end. a no.6 weight is good all round for trout & smaller bass or panfish. salman or large bass may require a heavier #7 or #8 rod/line combo. i am no expert but this should be enuf to get you started. maybe you could pick up a book or video to help?

I think you turn the rear drag counter clock wise or just hold it and unscrew the spool several turns counter clockwise. The guy at Dick's sporting goods helped me when I purchased line for him to spool new line.

Just slide the metal pins near the base of the head. There is a little piece that flips up or down. It needs to be in the down position between the 2 sliders behind the direction of water spray. When it is up, the spray will go in a 360 degree circle.
