Ok, all of the YouTube videos I found talk a lot but don't show what I need. On all three of my baitcasters (black max, pro max, and bill dance quantum) they have the drag star (which I know how to use) the line tension knob. This is the one on the right side with ribs around it and no other marking. ( I can set this too). However the brake dial is on the other side (non reel side) and it is on the middle on all 3 reels now. Labeling is "max" through "min". What do the brakes do that the line tension knob doesn't do? Also how and when to adjust the brake dial? Thanks! Joe
