With the lure. Thx Great tips, will try that out

Thanks for the tip

Hi. I started using casting setup for bass recently. I read some topics and watched videos on how to cast with a baitcaster, and I practiced a lot. Now, with an appropriate setup for break and spool tension, I don't get backlash most of the time. But still, every about 20 casts, I notice that the line on the spool will be much looser, and this makes it way easier to get a backlash. Every time when the line is loose, I will pull the loose line out, and then reel it back in. Normally I pull more than half of the line out of the spool, which is quite annoying. I wonder if there is a way to prevent this. Did I do something wrong? Or it is just a normal thing on baitcaster. The reel I'm using is Abu Garcia Revo SX Gen 3 7.1:1 gear ratio, spooled with 30 lb Power Pro Braid and 15 lb FC leader. Also wonder if it is because of the reel itself Thanks.

I own a 7' M/F spinning rod and a 7'2'' MH/F casting rod. My personal feeling is that the medium spinning rod is like a medium heavy one, and the medium heavy casting rod is like a heavy one. Nothing else to complain.
