Yet another bait casting newb

[Quasimojo]

Think I had a breakthrough today while practicing in my driveway. There is a *third* knob on the crank side that adjusts spool tension. That made all the difference. I can now cast without tangles pretty reliably. I guess the dial on the other side is just a fine-tune for the break?

Also, if I want more distance, do I pretty much have to back off the spool tension?
