A: 
I'm a beginner too. I did the same thing had the brakes set at 10. I found that if I moved it to 3 and held my thumb on the spool a little it worked better. Also I found that casting with a bait cast reel is more arm than wrist. You will still get some back last some times. But that will get better in time as you do it more. good luck

I had exactly the same problem with this reel. Finally bought the BPS Extreme reel and can now cast a 1/4 oz lure a mile with no backlash. Take the Tourney Speical back for a refund if it's not too late.

Need help adjusting/casting

Details: 
Frustrating this has been. I adjusted per the instructions and every cast it bird caged. Physical adjustment was either too strong and no cast, or too weak and bird caged. Magnetic adjustment set at various positions 1 through 10 did not help. Just how are magnets supposed to help slow down an aluminum spool ? Just exactly what is the trick to casting these baitcast reels, because it's not working for me. I gave up trying after 6 bird cages and over an hour of stripping it all out...HELP

A: 
With the rod and reel in your casting hand ready to cast, canter your wrist to where your thumb of the right hand in the 10 to 11 0clock position and cast. Left wrist and thumb position would be 1-2 oclock position. As a beginner start with magnet at 10 useing 3/8-1/2 oz lures . As time goes by you will get better and more confident. 12 lb florocarbine P line

In my opinion, this reel is worth the money, but if you can spare the extra 30 dollars or so for a more expensive reel, go ahead and do it because you get what you pay for. But if your on a tight budget, this is the best cheap reel out there.

The answer to this question really depends on how much you fish. If you are a once a monther at best then this might be the reel for you. If you fish any more than that I would shy away from this reel. Overall you get what you pay for.

A: 
To take this reel apart. 1st unscrew and remove the spool tensioning knob. (Watch out for the bearing in there it may fall out.) Next find the little black release on the magnetic brake side. Push that and turn the side plate at the same time. Remove the plate and then the spool. Now you have access to clean and lube. I don't suggest you break it down any further than that. Just asking for trouble unless you really know what you are doing. Not for you? Then I would have a proffesional clean and lube it for you.

If you toss it away I will take it. If you have someone close to you that works on reels ask them for help or service. I bought 2 reels and one was noise and sounded dry, so I sprayed it with a product from Bass Pro and it caused the factory lube to work and it quieted down instantly and I think they are great. Every product made has a lemon out of thousands made, if this doesn't work then contact Bass Pro for possible replacement or credit on another of your choice. Good luck and hope my suggestion works for you, it did for me.

well if the fish are under 20lbs it should be ok but if not the reel dont hold enough line heavy line to keep them from spooling you.a big spinning reel will work also use braided line its tougher than mono.

MOST OF THESE REELS ARE EITHER MADE IN CHINA OR KOREA. AS FOR THIS BAITCAST REEL, IT IS MADE IN CHINA. IN MY OPINION, I BELIEVE THE MORE EXPENSIVE THE REEL IS, IT MAY EITHER BE MADE IN JAPAN OR USA.

A: 
Hey Kev. I'm with you. Have been using nothing but spinning reels my whole fishing life. I wanted to try a baitcaster. I did my research and nothing came close to the features that this one has for the price. I figured I'll buy it , try it . If I don't like it I haven't invested a whole lot of money and can always return it. That ain't gonna happen. I love this reel. It does take some practice, but so worth the time. I was up and going in a couple of days of practice and setting up. Now I cast farther then I ever did with my spinning reels. Still love my spinners and still have them in my arsenol. But the baitcaster is becoming my favorite. hope that helps.
