Depending on the amount of water resistance created by your lure, turning the Autoshift dial clockwise will hold the reel in 6.1:1 ratio for use with high speed techniques. (The reel will always down shift automatically and instantly to thw 3.8:1 power ratio for greater fish fighting control as soon as you set the hook.) If the fish runs towards you, the reel will automatically upshift to the high speed ratio for fast line recovery and downshift once again when you regain pressure on the fish. Turning the dial all the way counter clockwise will let the reel remain in the 3.8:1 ratio at all times for use with slow retrieve techniques."
