Yes you sure do if there is a differance in weights, if there the same round about weights you get away with early feathering the spool.

now do you have to adjust your spool tension after putting different lures on?!?!?!?!

Check the magnetic backlash adjustment is turn right down and adjust center fiction spool knob until lure drops, keep adjusting until lure drops.

Depends on the knot you tie as some will snap the mono. I try not to use mono as it’s way to soft for braid and only use flurocarbon as it alot harder. Try a albright knot as this may not snap the line.

——————————————————————————–
when i cast my bait caster the line breaks when the lure is about ten feet away. this only happens 1 out of ten times. does anyone know why this happens? Also does it matter if the line isn’t 1/8th from the top of the spool? also how much mono do i put on before the braid? thanks for your answers.. also does the little friction knob have to be turned in for the line to drop or out?

they arent hard bur not easy. u have to tune them in and if its not tuned good it will backlash easy and you also have to use ur thumb to prevent backlash.
