Why do people shy away from baitcasting reels? The easy answer is the reels are stereotyped for backlashes.
Backlashes are a misnomer with today's precision engineered reels. Knowing how to adjust the brake setting is a key to preventing backlashes, as you will learn in this video.

Three factors contribute to backlashes and they can all be avoided before you make the first cast. Those factors are casting into the wind (and not adjusting the centrifugal brake setting accordingly), using a lure that is too light for the model of the reel, and not setting the brake according to the wind and weight of the lure.

Set the brake so the lure falls from the reel tip slowly when the spool is engaged, as shown in the video. Secondly, adjusting the magnets, as shown in the video, will allow greater casting distance or place tension on the spool to avoid a backlash when casting into the wind.

Spooling too much line on the reel is another common mistake that causes backlashes. The video points out that you should spool line no more than 1/8-inch from the capacity of the reel.
