Back winding spinning reels?
Don’t try to over power them just wear them out and back wind, that’s what a lot of the old timers do. Charlie brewer slider method for example its on YouTube if you like

Back winding spinning reels?
Using nets and drag systems causes the loss of most big fish, tighten the drag all the way then disengage your spinning reel and practice back winding even with light line 6 lb and playing a large fish (tire them out where you hooked them not at the boat) then moved to the fish with a tight line and rod high can save the day! Patience is required and you will rarely loose a good fish.
