Casting reel problem
I agree with Dan and would only add this: Do not try to force a long cast or
swing the rod with all your might. As he said, practice with the brakes on
full. If you find yourself wanting to "make it go farther" then back off on
the brakes a little and possibly readjust the clutch.
Also, even after much experience you will still find yourself dealing with
possible overruns- especially if you change the size and weight of your
lure. But, at some point you should be able to feel whether the problem lies
with the brakes or the clutch.

I have a Shimono bass casting reel. I am new to casting for bass. My
problem is that every time I cast with this reel I get a birds nest of line
bunched up on my reel. This is very frustrating. My question is how do I
properly cast this rod & reel so that I don't have this problem? I am so
fed up with this happening that I want to give up on casting reels and stay
with my open face reel.
Thanks a lot for your help and suggestions.
