just lob it until you get the concept of thumbing the spool. also,loosen up the little knob behind the star drag on the right side,and sit down on the cowch and hold the rod almost straight up,and press free spool,then practice stopping the lure just before it hits the ground with your thumb. do this alot and itwill helpyou when you are on the water.
