How to use a mooching reel?

[shep546]

Hey guys,

I bought a cheap daiwa mooching setup for my downrigger... problem is I don't understand how to use the damn thing.

It has a switch to toggle the drag on/off but the drag can't be tightened enough so that it doesn't just free spool out.

If I let line out of the boat to troll it just continuously winds out... and I definitely can't "load it" on a downrigger.
