What is it you want the manual for?

You need to either replace the bail spring or release any tension cause by the bail wire gap being too wide or to small. Take apart the bail wire and adjust the gap so that it doesn't bind when closing the bail.

If the knob is not stripped, replace the drag washers under the drag knob.
Replace key #'s 6 and 56T with 3x 6-155 carbon drag washers, available here: http://www.mikesreelrepair.com/product_info.php?products_id=7806
this will bring your drag back to better than new condition!

Best of luck!

On the front of the spool there is a device to turn to set the drag. Torn it tighter and tighten it until slightly below the breaking point of your fishing line. It isn't a critical adjustment, it just keeps your line from breaking while trying to land a fish.

the weight of that much line is caausing the drag to slip. you need to tighten the drag up some more. hope this helps

The star drag wheel unscrewed, just had to us a little force.

The Gear Changer is probably worn out

Call customer service.

Your drag is either worn or it is assembled improperly.

When I need parts or service, I call penn directly. They are the best reels out there as far as I'm concerned. And most of them are made in USA and backed by Penn.

It is the only reel that I care to fish with

Tighten the drag star to expose the black ratch ring. Press the ratchet ring down towards the star drag as you turn the handle backwards to unscrew it from the crank shaft.

If ythere is a screw directly across from the crank, remove the screw and insert the crank from that side

Contact Penn directly to request the manual.

I couldn't find a Stuart Byrd in the US Senate. Couldn't locate one in the PA State Senate either. Only thin that comes of is Robert Byrd of W VA. Do you have any other details to add? Place in comment to the original posting.

Lay it on the ground, gently pull the hoop and turn the screw.
