INTRODUCTION

The Orvis Mach fly reel series features an efficient large arbor design, one of

the strongest drags on the market, lightweight machined bar-stock aluminum

construction, and a durable, high tech, anodized finish. It is built to withstand the

rigors of saltwater, salmon, and steelhead angling.

• Large arbor design for faster line pick-up, maximum backing

capacity, more consistent drag, and less line coiling.

• Fully machined from bar-stock, aircraft-grade 6262-T6 aluminum with a hard

anodized finish for durability in any environment, Mach series fly reels are

one of the lightest big game reels on the market.

• Infinitely adjustable true center drag with eight Broflon and stainless steel

plate interfaces makes it as strong as any reel on the market.

• Four sizes for pursuit of big game species around the world.

DRAG OPERATION

The easy drag adjustment has detents for maintaining drag

settings. The drag knob has 630 degrees of adjustment or

1¾ turns. This provides controllable and repeatable settings

suitable for any type of fishing—from trout to the toughest

saltwater species—with zero start-up inertia and the power to

stay smooth on extended runs and high drag settings.

Turn the drag knob (A) clockwise to increase drag pres-

sure; turn it counterclockwise to decrease pressure. The mini-

mum drag setting should never be less than the pressure required to prevent

over-running of the line on fast runs. Additional drag may be applied by

palming the spool rim with your fingertips or palm.

LEFT-HAND CONVERSION

The Mach reel features a zero-backlash clutch bearing, ensur-

ing smooth operation and instant pickup on hard takes, pro-

tecting your tippet. All reels have the drag factory installed for

right-hand retrieve. It can easily be changed to left-hand retrieve

as follows:

1. Remove the spool.

2. Unscrew the clutch retainer located on the

spool rear.

3. Remove the clutch unit, flip it over so that the stainless face is outermost,

then replace it in the housing.

4. Re-tighten the clutch cover to firm finger tightness and re-fit

the spool.

DRAG ADJUSTMENT

Should adjustment of the drag system be required, it can be carried out as fol-

lows:

1. Set drag to minimum.

2. Loosen drag knob retaining screw (#1).

This screw has a left-hand (counter-clockwise) thread.

3. Remove the drag knob (#2) and drag stop (#5), taking care not to lose the

spring and plunger (#3,4).

4. Turn the drag adjustment nut (#6)

1

⁄12 turn clockwise to increase drag,

counter-clockwise to decrease.

5. Replace the knob and slider, ensuring they are in the same position they

were when you removed them.

6. Ensure that front drag cover (#20) is finger tight.

7. Replace the drag knob screw and test drag. The above procedure can be

repeated until the desired range is achieved. Alternatively, your reel can be

completely serviced (cleaned, lubricated, and returned to you postpaid) by

Orvis for a fee of $10 plus cost of parts. Refer to ‘Guarantee’ section for

postage details.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

Your Mach reel has been designed to provide long and reliable service, even in

the harshest conditions. Like all precision instruments, it requires a little care and

maintenance to keep it operating in tip-top condition.

ROUTINE CLEANING

After contact with dirt or sand, and every time it is used in salt water, your reel

should be cleaned as follows:

1. Remove the spool.

2. Soak both body and spool in warm, fresh water, and rinse under fresh run-

ning water.

3. Ensure the body and spool are completely dry before re-assembly.

4. For extended storage, loosen or remove line and backing and set the drag to

minimum. Never put the reel away wet or into a wet reel case or tackle box.

SERVICING

Your reel should be routinely serviced, cleaned, and lubricated twice each year,

or more frequently if the reel is used for extended periods in salt water. The ser-

vice procedure is as follows:

1. Thoroughly clean the reel as described above in the ‘Routine Cleaning’ section.

For thorough cleaning, the front drag cover (#20) can be moved.

Before removing the drag cover, the drag must be

set to minimum.

If adjustment of the drag system is required, refer to ‘Drag Adjustment’ section.

2. Lightly lubricate all moving parts–handle, quick release, bearings, and center

spindle–with reel lube, available from tackle shops.

Do not allow lube into the drag system, as this will diminish

the drag performance of the reel.

3. Wipe the body and spool with a lightly oiled cloth.

4. Check all screws for tightness.
