When it backlashes you tighten the settings a little.
Retry and adjust if necessary.
Every time you change baits you may need to tweak it a bit.
Practice, practice, practice and you'll still get backlashes in the wind.

The way I do mine is to set the magnetic brakes (left side of a right hand reel) at the highest setting. Then set the line spool brake like you would an older style. Once that is set I start casting without thumbing the spool and lowering the mag brakes each time just to the point you have to thumb it then I usually go back up one notch.

I always have to reset everything after I cast it a few times as things loosen up from being cold. I usually find the sweet spot for the brake first then as I go I only need to adjust the cast control knob to compensate for changing baits.
