Baitcasting problem

Featured Replies

 A month ago I bought a Quantum bill dance rod and reel combo.  Its my first baitcaster and I really started to like it.  Yesterday while I was using it, it just stopped reeling line in, but the line guide(dont really know what you call it) is still moving back and forth.  I had to reel the rest of the line in with my thumb.  Im very confused with what is going on here, line wont reel in and im gettin frustrated.  Im in need of major help, because Im going to clinton lake in bloomington, Illinois tomorrow.  Its supposed to be one of the top ten fishing locations in the U.S.

Thanks

Check your drag.  It may be too loose.

As Jig Man said drag might be too loose or if you put on braid without mono under it the line might just be slipping on the spool.

yup i was gonna say, if your drag is so loose, then your handle will turn and the guide will move, but the spool wont turn. to solve that ya gotta tighten it. glad ya got it resolved  ;)
