Before taking it back, use the sugestions of the previous two replies.
ajusting the star drag is the first as sugested above,
and there is a forward and backwards way to tie the line to the spool.
I am sure you know this, but in the case others experience line not winding up on the barrol as the barrol spins.
guide the line though the spinnerett guide then over the top of the spool and it will come out the bottom, guide the line back though the spinnerett guide.
tie a slip knott then pull the line untill it is snug against the barrol, one or two cranks the line should tighten up on it self and draw the line in. If the line dosnt, the spool may be spinning in the oposite direction, in that rare case, snip the line and follow the instructions above and with the exception of going from the bottom of the barrol over the top and finish as described above.
Bait casting reels are the more difficult of the two types of reels to learn and master, If you are didicated to learning, pick up the manual and read it, learn settings, how to ajust the spindle for casting, and drag settings.
If you dont want to invest the time in to learning bait casters, Spin casters are almost idiot proof.
each have their spicific short commings, so if you run in to any problems with eather be sure to come back here to find the answers. With our combined experience here, we can solve 99.5% of all the problems you run in to.
