Thanks for the replies. After doing some more research I think you're right Darren. 10# is way to light. Makes sense because I could see it digging in and it only got worse as the day went on. Gonna try 30 or 40# and see how that goes. Thanks for the help!

First off I've done some research on how to fine tune a baitcaster but I'm obviously missing something. I'm brand new to baitcasters. Its a 6:3:1 ratio on a 7' rod. I have 10 lb braid on it (maybe that's where i messed up?). I just can't seem to go more than a 5-7 casts without a backlash no matter what type of lure. I've watched some videos and read articles but I must be missing something. Just looking for any tips or tricks. I'm sure you guys are sick of hearing from the newbie baitcasters but I'm desperate lol.
