I used to fish alot when I was younger w my papa. he always told me spinning rods were the best so I bought a cheap 40$ one to try. im having so much problems with the wheel part. idk if im supposed to loop it around the wheel but when I do that it always gets stuck when I cast. unless I hold the string on the wheel lightly.

This is what it looks like when I cast then reel in the slack. Though I dont loop its so much now just once. Still wraps around like this.

Im probably just being really dumb n its a simple fix but plz can someone help
Did that line come with the reel? Looks like some thick, cheap mono.
You dont loop it around, the line should go from the spool under the bail and up to the guides. when the bail is lifted for casting it is fully out of the way and the line comes off the spool without touching it.
I think you goofed it a bit unless I’m misunderstanding the post. When it’s open, it shouldn’t be touching the wheel. When you close it, that semi-circle bar hits the line and puts it against the wheel. It’s a simple setup, but you might want to consult a youtube vid on how it works. Right now, it looks like you have it set up like that unless your post picture has that line wrapped around it, and not just along the outside. Hope this helps
