Q. What is the difference between Mitchell 300 and 300c?
I talked a Rep at Mitchell she told me there is no difference between the 300 and the 300c. The C stands for clam and all that means is the way they are packaged. 300 comes in a box and the 300c comes in plastic packaging that can be hung for display like at walmart.

Q. How do you adjust drag on Abu Garcia Blackmax?
Turn the star-shaped drag wheel on the side of the reel behind the handle to the right to tighten. Push forward with your thumb to attempt to turn the reel. Adjust the star drag wheel to the left to loosen the drag until the spool begins to turn with forward pressure.
Q. What line should I put on my baitcaster?
Baitcast reels were not designed for light line, so use 10 pound and above. Larger diameter lines come off the spool easier and are less likely to overrun. For learning purposes, use 17-pound monofilament because it handles so much easier.
