One way to judge the tension is to reel your sinker up to the end of the rod and open up the reel into free spool and let it drop (stop it before it hits the bottom). If it drops very slowly then it is too tight. If it drops to the ground before you can do anything it\'s too slack.
Ideal to get it to drop at a steady pace and then adjust it from there to suit yourself.
