How do I set them to ON position? It does not mention in the manual on how to but they are in the OFF position and if I want maximum free spooling then removed the brakes completely.  

"Start with all 6 brakes in the "on" position when first using the reel. Then lock them in two at a time (making sure to lock brakes that are on opposite sides to maintain proper balance) until maximum casting distance with minimal effort is achieved."  

Duh I already know that but HOW do I set them to "on"???

Got it figured out. Push the pin up and down. OK so if they're all pushed upward toward outside ring that would be OFF am I correct?

Never mind I'm gonna do the same setting as my old green Curado.

Got it. Thanks!

PS, well there was a post by RW then decided to delete it for unknown reason. The instruction you posted is the reason I thanked you. Oh well.

You can also take them completely off if you have a well educated thumb.

Incorrect, the weight is on when it 's pushed outward.

Right but in the wind I don't think so.

Can you post how you did it?
