You can also listen to the reel...she will tell you when you are about to have a rats nest and when the lure is going to hit the water.....hover your thumb just over the spool so if the line gets ready to nest your thumb will be ready to apply braking pressure. In theory, the lure should be hitting the water when the spool is spinning the slowest so listen to when the spool slows down and you dont need to see the lure hit the water at night.
Also use the proper lure weight with the correct rod....What I mean is dont use a 1/2oz lure on a rod designed to throw 4-6oz, it will work but you have a greater chance of rat nesting.
I actually just bought my first spipnning reel in 15 years. I still cannot get used to a spinner and the only reason why I bought one was because I was using my conv in a 30mph wind in my face last november....I was able to cast very well in the wind but after every 15-20 casts I nested up because of the wind.
Good luck and be patient!
