Does anyone have a decent translation of the manual or understanding of how to set the line counter on the 100PG model.

Appreciate any assistance.

Thanks.

Push & hold the on/off button, then release the line.
A vertical drop will give you a reading but mine seems to be about 1.5 mtrs out over 25 mtrs.
Great little reel but damn annoying not being able to access English instruction manual.
There is a bit on Youtube, worth looking at.

Tks Uncle

Yeah I got that far but it was the discrepancy between the digital reading and the actual length (mine is more than yours) which made me think that I was missing something. The number of pages devoted to the digital display makes me think that there may be some calibration process that you have to go through to align with the amount of line on the spool

. . . or maybe not.

‘Mine’ as in ‘discrepancy’ not ‘length’!!

I'm thinking the diameter of the line itself will be having an effect?
& of course, just how full the spool is..
