I'm assuming this is a brand new rod and reel you have. Try taking the front cover off and making sure the spool is screwed onto the center shaft tightly. If this isn't tight enough, the mechanism that makes your line pickup pin retract will not fully engage. I've had a few spincast outfits over the years, with varying levels of performance. I did not like open faced spinning reels at first, but now I use 'em for most of my fishing. Try one sometime, you'll like it once you get used to it.

Buy a St. Croix triumph fishing rod and a Shimano Sedona fishing reel. No problems for you after that.

when you go to cast you have to take your thumb off the button and a tip is when you feel the weight of the lure let the button go and you'll be casting in no time. or you might have a little birds nest or tangle in the reel.
