Goose, I would take the braid off until you really get the hang of it. It's one thing to get a little overrun when casting a light chunk 20 yards but it digs alot deeper when you are throwing a 4 oz jig 100 plus. I might also try 20 lb test BG for two reasons; the first is you so want to leave a little room open on the top of the spool ( more yardage w/ lower test) and it is also a little limper and cast easier. Did you figure out the casting weights and spool control? Feel free to e-mail me if I can help with any other questions. It is a tougher reel to get used to than most as your finding out. Don't try to fish eels with it yet!!!
