    What is your Daiwa SV Spool setting for skipping?

    What is your typical Daiwa Zillion SV spool setting for skipping docks? Cast Control and Brake?

    Cast control - move the spool side to side with your thumb, tighten control just to the point the "slop" is about gone, no tighter!

    Mag Brake - somewhere in the middle, changes for what jig and how Im feeling that day, whether im on my game or not ... I would start with it higher, like 75% but to get the best distance it needs to be less than 50%

    i do exactly as j risco except i tighten the spool tension just enough that the spool has some resistance but not your typical "let the bait fall and not overrun" setting.
