revo s question

aaronis · March 25, 2008, 03:30:03 PM

I just got my revo s and it looks great. Now, how do I remove the left cover so I can adjust the braking system? I have tried to pull, push and it wont come off? I have looked at the manual and it is worthless. It says to remove the cover but it does not say how to remove it. Help please. thanks.

Tomcat, Abu Garcia's instructions really do suck but the reels are great.
As you look down on your reel you will see a screw head that looks like a small knob sticking out on the handle side right on the top edge. Loosen that screw. It is spring loaded but it will not come all the way out. Once you have it loose and it's slid out as far as it will go (About 1/4") then firmly grab the side plate on the left side of your reel and twist it so that the front raises up as you turn it. Now you can remove it and adjust the brakes. I set mine so that two brakes are on. Set two across from each other. I then set the spool tension knob so that the lure I have on only falls about 8"-10" if I shake the rod tip a little. Setting it this way I can cast a mile and don't even need my thumb to control it or keep it from having a birds nest. Hope this helps, Mike

I had the exact same question when I bought my Revo S

Good explanation Mike-in-WV

Thanks Bassinkorea. Hope he understands it and doesn't brake anything!

Is there Bass in Korea? Mike

Bassinkorea, OK, Now where's my passport! Honey I need the credit cards and the check book

tomcat, Sure hope you like your Revo as much as I do and everyone else who has bought one. They really are great once you have them set. I'm glad your not like me! I usually brake something first then I read the instructions or ask for help,Mike
