You can use it from the box, but it can be a bit lively. If you want to play it safe, use the two red blocks to give a little braking. It's easy to take one out when you feel comfortable using the reel. You can also underfill the spool by a couple of mm if you find it fluffs up a little at the beginning of the cast.

It is a superb reel and makes a lovely whirring sound as the lead flies off! Mine has a mag conversion as I use it for distance casting on the field.
