[QUOTE="Nickk, post: 27032, member: 87"] Right, if the brakes are clicked in then the spool will spin with less friction. The brakes work like a drum style brake on a car, when the spool spins the centrifugal force pushes the little plastic brake to the outside and it scrapes against the inside of the side plate screw housing(the inside of the endcap is just like a brake drum). Brakes whether magnetic or centrifugal come into play at the start of the cast, they keep the spool from overrunning at startup. The "cast control" or spool tension control will have more of an effect on your casting distance, you may be able to loosen that spool up a bit. As long as you stop the spool with your thumb at the end of your cast you won't overrun. [/QUOTE]
