[QUOTE="russ010, post: 134531, member: 677"] you're not the only one.. I honestly don't even have to put my thumb on my spool when it hits the water... I put my thumb on the spool to stop the lure from making a big splash into the water that knob you are pointing at is the spool tension knob - that's the one I was saying to turn clockwise while your lure is falling to the ground. when you can drop your lure, and then stop it with the knob, turn it about another 1/16"-1/8".. move the numberded brakes all the up if you are using a 1/2oz weight, but keep it at 7 if you are using 1/4oz or less. Just keep at it man... My first baitcaster was a Daiwa Black Spider about 24 years ago.... that was one of the best reels I have ever owned - until someone stole it 2 years ago from the in-laws pond... [/QUOTE]
