Hello. I bought this reel at wal-mart 2 weeks ago. I was eager to buy a baitcast reel. I'm used to spinning reels. I got 6lb stren mono installed. I set the adjustments on the reel for a weightless rig. You just take the side cap off it and it has a knob that I set to 1. I had many birdnests learning how to cast it, good amount of time spent untangling it. I know I can't cast overhead with it because it don't lob through the air it shoots straight at a downward angle. I can't cast the lure to the right side of me either it tends to go either straight or to the left, I'm right handed. I tried releasing my thumb early didn't get it to work.
