TheOneJP Posted March 30, 2022 Posted March 30, 2022 This is my first time using this website so here it goes. I believe my mach crush magnetic brakes are not working because no matter if the brake are at 10 or 1 the casting distance is the same and it is still pretty difficult to get a back lash. My spool tension and drag is set properly so I’m not sure what the problem is. Quote
Solution TheOneJP Posted March 31, 2022 Author Solution Posted March 31, 2022 UPDATE : took apart the reel and put it back together and then for some reason it started to work normally again Quote
Delaware Valley Tackle Posted March 31, 2022 Posted March 31, 2022 Brakes don’t affect casting distance so much as backlash control during the cast. If you’re not back lashing they’re likely working. 1 1 Quote
Super User MN Fisher Posted March 31, 2022 Super User Posted March 31, 2022 ^ What Mike said - also...drag has no effect on casting distance or backlash possibility...all it does is help you fight the fish once they're hooked. 1 Quote
