Merk on the side where your handle is should be spool tention as well as drag tention. Fiddle with those as well make sure your using a heavy enough lure.Also your better to use a braided line with a mono backing and a mono leader. Braided line has less memery in the line. If you give us the reel ttype anmnd modle ill search up some info for you .
