new reel...need help

pond_hopper · 02-17-05, 08:04 PM

well i went and ordered a brand new phlueger trion and just got it in the mail two days ago. I have spooled it twice with two different lines but can't seem to get anywhere with casting it. It keeps backlashing just about every time. I have adjusted both the spool brake and the centrifugal brake in every possible combo and made about 100 casts but still just don't get it. this is my first casting reel so is it just me or is it really that difficult to learn how to use these reels? about the only cast that i can make half way decent is a sidearm cast any overhead cast instantly backlashes. if i don't get it figured out soon i might have a reel for sale and go back to my zebco 33. :-[ >
