[QUOTE="SupressYourself, post: 262935, member: 340"] It's mostly about lure weight vs spool tension. Ease off the spool tension until your lure falls freely with gravity, but not fast enough to backlash when it stops. Some (most these days) baitcasters have magnetic breaks. You can adjust that little dial on the side to fine tune spool breaking. Some (like my newest Abu Rev SX) also have centrifugal breaks. I learned that one the hard way. I have two other Revo SXs, so I didn't bother to read the manual. Took it out and it wouldn't cast for shit. Spent most of the morning adjusting the magnetic break and spool tension with no change. Found a button on the side that allows you to pop the whole side off. Inside there were several centrifugal breaks on springs that were all turned on. Turned them all off and it casts like a wet dream. [/QUOTE]
