so.... i tried out a new baitcasting reel this past weekend. all went well with spinnerbait, or something of equal weight. the problems came when i put on a lightweight rap. i threw the first cast and the lure landed 2' in front of me, resulting in a huge amount of backlash. so my question is - how do you use the lighter lures and set ups with a baitcasting reel? from my tests, lures and set ups weighing at least 1/2-3/4 oz were bare minimum.
