I normally have 1 brake on from the inside and have it set on 1 on the external adjustments. It is either uncontrollable or doesn't go far
I stay more towards 1/2 most of the time but the rod I had it on was a favorite summit 7'2 medium heavy fast action which broke (my fault) and now I have it on a cheaper *** *** 7'3 medium heavy fast action it tends to heavy more tip than a normal medium heavy and
