On the side of the reel there is a knob that you adjust for the spooling.As a rule of thumb you adjust it so when you have a lure on,click the release button and let it spool out,it will only drop about 4 feet.Now! tighten it a fraction.Start casting and it will not go very far.Just before the lure hits the water,you put your thumb on the spool.Hard at first and then less as you get used to it.You can then adjust the spooling knob to go a bit further every time.You use your thumb on the spool to adjust the last 10 feet of line.Use a lure with no hooks on it to practise.It's called a plug.Hope this helps and you reel in the big one's

Schematic on a TSC10SA BAIT CASTING

I'm sorry, I don't have information on a specific TSC10SA bait casting reel. However, most baitcasting reels have similar components and can be reassembled in a similar manner. Here are some general steps you can follow to reassemble your reel:
  1. Place the spool back into the reel frame.
  2. Insert the spool shaft into the spool and secure it with the spool retainer.
  3. Place the side plate back onto the reel frame, making sure the spool shaft and spool retainer are in the correct position.
  4. Insert the brake adjustment knob and secure it with the knob screw.
  5. Insert the thumb bar and secure it with the thumb bar screw.
  6. Place the handle back onto the reel and secure it with the handle screw.
  7. Tighten all screws and make sure the spool spins freely.
It's always a good idea to consult the manufacturer's manual for specific instructions and diagrams on reassembling your reel. If you have lost the manual, you can often find one online by searching for the make and model of your reel.

Were freespool clutches incorporated into all of the antique baitcasting reels?

Although the earliest two extant U.S. patents for reels described freespool clutches in the mid-1850s, and many more refined clutches were invented before 1900, the vast majority of baitcasting reels were not equipped with such clutches until after World War II. Reels with clutches were available long before that, but in most casting reels, the spool remained connected to the handle through the gear train during the cast. By 1900, inventors had come up with many different ways of breaking that connection by separating the gears, by separating the gears from the spool, etc. But most reels weren't made with what were often fairly complicated devices.
The first automatic clutches were invented in the early 1890s. These freed the spool as soon as the angler stopped cranking the reel.

Why is my reel able to reel both directions instead of locking in place?

Sounds like the slider switch didn't get back into it's socket properly, take it back apart and look at that.

How to fix Defiance 25LW that will not cast (or free spool)

Those reels are very simple, nothing too complex about them at all, sounds to me that the clutch gear is stuck not and not releasing when you try to engage it. I've had similar bait caster lock up like that when trying to cast heavier baits, what happens is the spool spins so fast that the inertia and vibration causes the reel to actually engage mid cast slamming the gears together. not good for the gears by the way. more that like the reel needs to be opened up and looked at to resolve the issue. www,darksidereelz.com for all your reel service needs

How can I get my reel to cast smoothly?

Hey Ken, Neil here from Dark Side Reelz. it boils down to over oiled bearings, or bearings that require cleaning, your spool shaft only rides on 2 or max of 3 points, (depending on reel make) each of those points contains a bearing the spool shaft seats in those bearings any build up will greatly reduce casting distance. I specialize in reel cleanings, rebuilds and restorations as well as custom work like upgrades and super tuning. If you would like to read some really good info on what you can do read this article I wrote http://ezangler.com/tackle-box/gear-tips/the-reel-truth/ here is the link to my webiste as well www.darksidereelz.com

Cant cast the pinnacle platinum plus lp 100 fishing reel more than 15 feet because the line tangles. Any suggestions?

Sounds like your drag is too loose. Best way to get used to setting a baitcaster, in my opinion, is to put a 1/2 ounce weight on the end of the line and engage the spool. The line should drop to the ground freely, but not full speed - if too fast, the spool will continue to spin and you'll get that dreaded birdsnest. If it doesn't reach the ground, you need to loosen it more. Once you have it set, keep that weight on and go practice, using the thumbing process Parorae noted in the previous answer.
They take some getting used to for sure!

How to I fix a spin casting reel?

You should be able to remove the spool by removing the knob on the front of the reel which also is the drag adjustment. With the knob off the spool should pull right off. Hope this helps you

Penn Spin Reel will not lock after casting

On the front of the spool there is a device to turn to set the drag. Torn it tighter and tighten it until slightly below the breaking point of your fishing line. It isn't a critical adjustment, it just keeps your line from breaking while trying to land a fish.
