[QUOTE="snow, post: 262933, member: 1056"] well a few thoughts,what weight rod? length? reel? type of line? if your using a heavy action short rod you'll have casting issues ideally a 7' to 8' med rod line rated 10lb to 20lb test line for starters(good all around setup) with a fast action tip,then you'll need to adjust "free spool" on your reel for each lure weight doing so will help to eliminate backlash,the right reel helps the more bearings the better....oh lure weight adjustment is a magnet round dial on the side of your reel with lure attched release freel spool as the lure drops hits the ground or boat bottom free spool should stop if not you'l get backlash so tighten ajustment accordingly for each lure this will also help casting into the wind along with feathering spool with your thumb a little once you get the feel for casting. PS Using braided line rated for your reel is alot better for casting (easier) and if you spool your reel yourself start by spooling some mono for backing fill reel half full before attaching braided line.
