7000CL Big Game
Well I finally got it. What are the knobs on the side for? One is numbered, one is not?
My wife bought me a Nautil 6500 for my b-day which is on the 18th. I asked her if she wanted to wrap it, she said, " no go ahead and set it up , and use it".

Right side is to center spool and left side is to control spool's maximum roational speed.... Sweet reel!

I've had one for 5 years and never touched either one of those knobs. I had it cleaned recently and now when I cast it sounds kind of rough - any ideas on the problem?

After I cleaned mine this year I noticed that when I pull line out against the drag that there is this clicking noise. Is that normal?
good luck with that reel Specialist, fine choice.

Ok I played with it today only 2 backlashes, not bad for a first timer. The first one was bad, it was on the first cast, the line burnt my thumb and suprised me. I think I will pick it up quickly.

hehehehehe - I've been laughin' for a couple minutes now - Just bring a spinning and a conventional with you when you fish so you can go back to spinning if needed. I wouldn't do that when I switched and I know it cost me fish... |

Slip,
Mine has always done the same thing, clicking sound when the drag is being pulled out. Mike told me it's perfectly normal, and I haven't noticed anything "jerky" in the drag that corresponds with the sound.
Definitely an excellent reel....

John, I casted it about 20 times in my backyard tonight, and it sounded better with each cast. This reel has been sitting for the past 2 years due to "diaper duty", but this year it will be my primary boat real  . I think I got the juices flowing in this reel again. Specialist, I had to stop a couple of casts from going into the tree tops - oooouch!!!!!   |

exactly !!!!!!!!
It surprised you Bill ? Why would that be ? a spool of mono going X amount of revolutions at X speed is going to leave a mark now add braid and say good bye to you thumb prints . 1 tip if I may ? thumb the bell not the line ! the bell is the left side of the spool where you can see and touch the flange . Much much nicer to your finger . Not to take anything from Johns advice . leave the spinner home get used to the conventional . If you have a spinner with you , you are more apt to go to the spinner and not give the conv enough time . you do have manual dexterity so it will come to you quick enough . also remember backlashes are good in practice , they help you to get good at getting them unlashed in a hurry . everything happens for a reason , we just may never know why !
Bill mine is the 22nd !
nice reel I think I might have one of them there big games .
Mine does too !
exactly now add a nice rod to that reel and wildeyes .
exactly !!!!!

Bill - one thing I woud add is that you should stick with a heavier mono until you get used to it. It's a lot easier to pick out "professionsla overrun" with mono as you get used to it than braid would be...

yes John ! I forgot that Bill thats is a good point . Mono !! I use ande 20# and in the ditch 30# cause it is the easiest to pick out over runs due to its memory and size .

Big Game Green is better - less memory and better abrasion  |

Chris Happy Birthday, I have a nice rod for that reel, made by Mike Thomas. I am going to practice evryday with it, after work as long as the weather is nice. I found some Storms today at a place up this way. I am going to the cape sat or sun.
John got 25lb Big Game and it is staying there for awhile.
