p.s. do you understand how to adjust the spool tension / mag brakes etc?
I watched a few videos on youtube touching on those subjects. I understand the spool tension and I have that dialed in perfectly with the practice plug I currently have on the rod. However, I don't really understand the whole braking thing. In one video I watched the guy said if you're a newbie he suggested having 3-4 brakes on. So I have mine set to 4 brakes on at the moment. But I don't even understand what it does...
