Hi. I bought a Shakespeare Mach 3 reel, good price i thought and with 4 spools.When i am fishing i prefer to back wind when playing bigger fish but have found with said reel i cant leave the anti reverse off as it tends to unwind a bit on its own and i end up with 2-3 coils of loose line which in turn can cause problems.Its as if the spool is too free running if you know what i mean. So is this a reel problem or have i loaded spool incorrectly.Any advice please
