Baitcasting Reels backlash vs weight of lures?

If you want to cast light lures get a casting rod that can load 1/16 oz. The lure rating should be 1/32-1/8 or around that, I’ve heard of people going to Walmart and buying a cheap light rod. Light line should help with casting light lures, but heavier (Thicker) line and heavier lures are easier to learn to cast with. If you have backlash at the beginning of the cast then you should adjust the magnetic brakes, if it’s towards the end of the cast then adjust the spool tension knob. Good luck!
