Essentials such as Check Work, Bearings, Safe Grip Handle, easy dismantling for cleaning and other details have received every attention necessary in producing a splendid example of mechanism for enjoyable fishing.

Dual sets of check work are fitted making reels suitable for left or right-hand wind; either set is instantly engaged or disengaged with the Check Wheel by simply turning either pawl into or out of position.

A revolutionary Clip-on Line Guard incorporating left or right-hand protection from friction by the line may be fitted as an extra.

The PRIDEX LIGHTWEIGHT

Features include:

• The reel is constructed from strong anti-corrosive light alloys intricately machined to reduce weight to a minimum without any loss in strength.
  
• Two sets of hardened steel checkwork are fitted, one for left-hand wind and the other for right-hand wind whichever is desired. Engagement is effected by simply swinging one pawl in and the other out of action as desired.
  
• General features which have made Youngs Fly Reels famous throughout the world are embodied, including Quick Drum Release, Contracted Drum, superbly finished in two attractive colours

LUBRICATING, CLEANING & CARE OF YOUR PRIDEX

• To dismantle, pull aside the Release Lever at the front and lift Line Drum from the frame.
  
• Oil the Spindle, Check Wheel and movable parts of the check mechanism, using a good quality thin oil.
  
• To replace Line Drum, pull aside Release Lever, to allow it to go easily into position. Do not use force.
  
• A little oil at the top and base of the handles adds to the sweet working of the reel.
  
• The centre screw of the Release Cap is for the adjustment of any end-play that may develop through normal wear.
  
• After use remove all traces of moisture and keep your PRIDEX in a dry place.
