The heck with the conservative , no overrun adjustments. Leave just one centrifugal break in there. Adjust the side tension so that there is no tension , in fact , you want the spool to move back and forth sideways about 30 thousandths.
that reel will then be running as fast as I would dare use it. Then , you will only be limited by your ability to control the wide open reel with your thumb.
Do as fishpart said to clean the old grease out.

this is my first year casting conventional and i have to agree with saltheart, if you rely on casting brakes, your going to run into trouble. make as smooth of a cast as possible and rely on your thumb to do the work. Use your ears too  |

If the reel has a level wind spray the plastic geers with WD40 to clean out the grease. THis grease will slow down the reel

Go with what Saltheart says. Getting too technical sometimes messes ya up unless you're going for the gold as a Tournament caster. IMHO
Oh yeah, Saltheart, in a thread earlier this year I asked about new lines. I stayed with the old Spectron...had some left. Had bought it from Mike at M&D a few years ago.
