Hey Y'all,

I purhcased a Pflurger Element today. There is no magnetic switch on the side of it and i cant figure out how to make it stop letting out so much darn line when i cast. I keep getting rat nest after rat nest. Can anyone help me please?

I believe if you take off the side plate you will see about 6 or 8 little switches in there in a circle. They are the magnetic brake setting switches. I assume that they are all either pushed in or out right now, probably out. Pushing them all sets it to its highest level, so you basically have 6 or 8 different settings for this, depending on the number of switches. Hope this makes sense!

Those little folded up pieces of paper that come in reel boxes.

Ya know, they have pictures and are in six languages right?

Read it.  It will answer most of your questions.

Then when you can cast it with some proficiency, and catch your first bass

You can join the "Pflueger Mook Posse" Unless of course you happen to catch

your first bass on a jig in which case you membership will be immediately cancelled.

NOW THATS FUNNY  

Sorry if I gave some erroneous info! I'm not sure what that was, magnetic brake or whatever, but I know the Cabelas guy showed me that when I was looking at Pflueger reels ( I went with the prodigy) and I was pretty sure that was what he meant. Hope all this helps ya guy!

The solution to all of your problems lies here. 8-)

ABSOLUTELY NOT! . Shimano makes great reels SO DOES PFLUEGER.TH young man asked a question about a Pflueger reel and the proper way to set it up, why direct him to a Shimano page.

My buddy just traded a lightly used Pflueger Trion for his share of boat gas for the day. He got a good deal
