Reel settings

Wishing2BFishing · 10-22-08, 08:42 PM

I was reading some older posts on the tackletour forum the other day and was surprised to learn that many people "set" their Shimano centrifugal brakes with 2 pins out (brakes on) and 4 pins in (brakes off). Out of curiosity, I grabbed some of my reels from my boat and opened them up. Every reel except one had four pins out (brakes on) and 2 pins in (brakes off). So my question is, have I been "oversetting" my reels?

NOTE: I haven't thought too much about this topic since last year, however, now that fishing season is winding down for me, I am once again, tinkering with my rods and equipment.
