    Careful with your lure selection. Very easy to backlash and lose expensive lures out there.

    Practice with diff weight.

    when you change lures / worms / weights or any thing on the end of your line you always ALWAYS need to change and adjust the knob to the wright. always gonna be different. dont forget.

    Also. drop speed . the weight of your lure or worm (w.e) is what's gonna prevent the backlash birds nest. test it like this.. Keep your pole horizontal position. open the spool. let it drop without you thumbin it. when it hits the ground and its backlashes. you need to fix the knob ...practice .!
