baitcasting fishing reels Eminent Low Profile Baitcast Lews Custom Lite SS Baitcast

It can be rather difficult to attach the cover after spooling your line if you have fed the line through your eyelets otherwise

When the spool tension knob is all the way loose, it's quite a bit better, but obviously you can't have a reel when you cant adjust the tension knob

When you start getting into reels like this one, with higher quality bearings, the braking system isnt always able to keep up with the free-ness (if theres such a word) of those bearings, sometimes making it tough to dial the reel in and get it to cast without fear of backlashing

Pull line from the spool (if spooled) or try to turn the spool by hand while holding the handle

I have been using it with a variety of different rigs and without issue

When it comes to the brake control setting, you want that on the higher side at 9 or 10
