Default Baitcasters and Backlashes
Saw this tip on BassEdge on the the WFN Fishing channel.

Anybody use this tip (cranking down on drag, reeling in line) to remove backlash)?

How about using a heavy lure to set your reel tension? This seems backwards to me. I set that tension with the lure I'm using to fall slow without having to tip the rod and then make a few casts and if okay, loosen just a little for longer casts.
