You will set line material dial inside side plate from 3, F: fluorocarbon, N: nylon, and PE: braid. And then you choose brake strength dial outside from 5, 1: least brake for metal jigs and rigs over 20g-, 2: regular weight rigs 14-20g, 3: light rigs 10-14g, 4: light finesse rigs 7-10g, and W: windy mode to cast against winds and for bulky baits like swimbaits. By setting these two dials, it casts the longest without any worry for back lash.
