Check the drag.

the first time I bought a baitcaster I thought there was something wrong with it because it wouldn't bring in line, I brought it back to the store and the guy tightened up my drag and what do you know it brought in line! I'm not sure if you made the same dummy mistake I did but it would make me feel better if you did lol.

It's gotta be the drag. Just turn the large spokes next to your crank forward toward the rod tip. I have the same reel and love it. Good choice!

Also, I think I can shed some light on why the drag is loosened off after the store put line on for you. When you aren't fishing and your rod and reel is just sitting there you should back the drag off all the way. As well as the spool tension knob. This will keep the braking systems in top shape.

I bet the store just did all that for you in keeping in their good practise.


Just remember to set the drag again before your first cast.
