The smaller size Squall 12 and 15 have magnetic cast control. The Daiwas have the centrifugal brakes. Both types help control overruns but still wont make casting fool proof.

Best bet is to practice, practice, practice. Distance isn't as important as line control. Try slower lob type casts and master controlling the line. Then add more umph as you progress. Wind the line on tight. Wet line helps prevent thumb burn. Good luck.
