FAQs

Is the Wychwood Agitator S1 suitable for left-handed anglers?

Yes, the Agitator S1 is available in both Left Hand Wind (LHW) and Right Hand Wind (RHW) versions. Please check the specific model number (e.g., A9262 for LHW S1 200).

Can I use this reel in saltwater?

What is the maximum drag capacity of this reel?

The Wychwood Agitator S1 has a maximum drag capacity of 22lb.

How much line can this reel hold?

The Agitator S1 300 range has a large line capacity, making it suitable for holding sufficient line for large predators.

What material is the drag system made of?

What does the 'T' shaped ceramic line guide do?

The 'T' shaped ceramic line guide is designed to reduce friction during line retrieval and casting, contributing to increased casting distance.

Troubleshooting

Reel casting poorly or backlashing frequently

Adjust the ten magnet overrun control. Start with fewer magnets engaged and increase gradually. Ensure your thumb bar technique is consistent and that the reel is properly lubricated.

Drag is not smooth or is seizing

Ensure the drag star is clean and free of debris. If used in saltwater, rinse thoroughly with fresh water. Internal drag washers may require cleaning or lubrication. Check for any binding in the carbon fibre drag components.

Audible clicker is not working

Verify the clicker switch is in the 'on' position. Check if any debris is obstructing the mechanism. If the issue persists, it may require internal inspection.

Reel feels stiff or noisy

The reel may require lubrication. Apply appropriate reel oil to bearings and moving parts. Ensure no foreign particles have entered the bearings. A thorough cleaning might be necessary.
