I just bought a new Skeet Reese reel last night and there is no manual. What does the silver button on the side do? How do I use it?

The the side plate off to remove the spool and adjust the breaks. Press button down and either rotate up or down. It will come off exposing the breaks

You are the man thank you so much!

Yep, I like the way the reel is designed.  Some of the other reels are a little cumbersome to adjust the centrifugal braking system.

I've only messed with the knob on the other side. (So I don't backlash). The knob I use I allow the lure to gently fall to the ground when I tie on a new bait. The other side where this button is usually has a dial from 1-10 which I always set to 5 in my other reels. Is there a link or video that tells me how to adjust this style?

"That little guy? Don't worry about that little guy."

 

 

Just found some videos on YouTube. Now I know how to set the brakes. ;-)

Sometimes, YouTube can be better than the owners manual!

YouTube to me is ALWAYS better than the owners manual.  Because you have instructional video to show you step by step on how to do things.

True That!
