Cool, I got a new baitcast combo 2 days ago, bps mega tournment combo except it had a pro qualifier rod on it, all for 60$. Most baitcast reels have a star drag, which is connected to the handle. Revovle the star thing forward to malke the drag tighter, back to make it looser.

Most baitcasters are equiped with a star drag system located under the handle. It is adjusted by turning it.
