I am also using a frog on this set up which I am usually able to cast pretty far. After further research I think that I am expericing digging. As you said spooling the line on tighter will help, does this mean after every cat I will have to use my fingers to create more tension during the retrieve?

How can I fix my reel so that it does not backlash while the spool is still giving out line during a cast? I am new to baitcasting reels as of this year and have owned my Shimano Curado 201I for a couple months now. When I attempt a cast every once in a while my bait will stop mid air due to overrunning from the spool. This has recently been happening more often than before. I have tried both tightening and loosening the brakes. Although when tightened I feel like I cannot cast very far, and when too loose this problem seems to occur more often. Inside the cast system I have two of the switches on and two of them off. The dial knob is set at one which may be part of the problem. Also I have it spooled up with 50lb power pro braid(no backing but it is tied through the holes in the spool), and my rod is a 6'6" medium heavy St.Croix mojo bass. Thanks for any help.
