Bass Pro Shop Reel??

[joeyd50]

Ok guys I got a baitcaster on E-Bay it?s a Bass Pro shop Extreme, looks like a Shimano with the big dial on the side to get to the brakes, can someone tell me how to adjust the Centrifugal Brake Pins? I'm pretty good with a baitcaster but I can't get this one to stop backlashing. This is the reel I won http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=170133426090&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=007
Thanks

Under the cover are little plastic doohickys that slide on a pin. Slide them out to put the brake on. You can slide only one or two if you want, or all if you need. All slid in gives you more freespool action. I see it is a five to one ratio. I have a five to one that justs seems to slow for me.

Good luck and tightlines.

^^what flathead said. Also, I always thought that you have to set them in pair. Whatever position one of the brake is in, the one opposite of it have to be the same. If 12 o'clock is on then 6 o'clock have to be on too.
