  1. Joan started following Can’t get reel on baitcaster to take on line when there is resistance on the line, like a fish. With no weight. It reels on easily. The drag is turned tight. This is my first baitcaster reel reel.

    I am using braided line, but fastened it to the reel using an arbor knot as stated in the directions. I did not use monofilament first. It is a brand new reel. I will try using monofilament line on the reel. Thanks.

    Just got my first bait caster reel. I can reel in the line when there is no fish on but reel will not take on line even if the drag is adjusted tightly and there is any weight on the line. Advice please!
