You picked a good reel. You have weights rather than magnets.

The wheights are located on the side opposite the crank. Lift the tab on the side cover and turn counter-clockwise. Under this you'll find some plastic round things on pins. To activate the wheights move them away from the center until the little collar snaps past the ridge in the recess that holds the wheight. This allows them to be forced by centrifical force against a ring on the inside of the sidecover. My 200 super-free came with two wheight activated. The directions that should have come with your reel explain better.

The mechanical break is the small knurled knob on the crank side.

The weights act like a talented thumb putting a little resistance on the spin of the reel which varies with the speed that the spool is spinning. As the lure travels it slows down. The reel doesn't slow down as fast, causing the backlashes you've probably been getting. Properly adjusted weights will help. Casting into the wind causes the lure to slow faster, requiring more resistance on the spool spin.

Put your thumb on the spool to keep it from spinning, press on the bar with the same thumb. Cast and let your thumb off the same time as you would realease the line from your finger with a spinning reel.
Be sure to stop the spool with your thumb a fraction of a second before the lure lands or EXACTLY when it hits the water. or you will get mondo backlash. Sorry if this last paragraph was already obvious, but the first time I used a baitcaster, I didn't know this, and I learned the hard way.

It is not as hard as it first seems. My 12-year-old uses one.

Oh, use a heavier lure while learning. Nothing less than 1/4 oz. I'd suggest 5/8 oz or heavier while learning.

GOOD LUCK
