Ok, I am relearning a baitcaster (Curado 200e).  I have no problem tossing crankbaits but struggle at jigs.  Whenever I flip/pitch, I get some backlash when the jig hits the water.  I have adjusted the cast control and if it's too tight, the jig won't sink and too loose, I seem to get some gnarly backlashes.  I have been fine tuning it but can't seem to find a happy medium.  Any pointers?  

are you stopping the spool with your thumb when the bait hits the water?

I am.  Should I be more forceful on the pressure?  Also, whenver I am getting the backlash out, I notice the P-line I am using has a more memory than I am used to.

try stopping it completely.

and Pline has a lot of memory. Try a line conditioner.

I will do that.  I assume after it hits the water and I have stopped it to slowly let pressure off.  I have tried line conditioner before but haven't sprayed it on recently.  Thanks for the reminder.

yeah, stop the spool when it hits the water and then take your thumb off the spool once it starts sinking. At that point I usually pull out a little bit of line so that the bait will fall straight down.
