I agree with ARmusky addict. I had everything turned of until i talked with Pikemaster and it has helped my casting considerable turning 3 on.

I cast right handed so By having 3-6 brakes on when I cast I don't have to thumb the spool so the reel don't backlash and I switch the rod and reel over to my left hand so as soon as the bait hits the water I can set a hook or reel in as soon as the bait hits the water. Can't do that if U R thumbing the spool.

You can switch hands with any reel, even without brakes. The middle of the cast sees very little potential for overrun so I switch from right to left and thumb with my left hand when the lure hits the water, just a little safer with the braking system. But the method you described, switching mid cast, is the best way I've found for immediate line pick up. Pays dividends in very shallow, rocky or weedy water.

Edited for clarity
