I can help with casting:

First tie on what you will be casting. Then turn on all the brakes, and
set the spool tension until so that from shoulder height it drops to the
ground with only about one loose wrap as when it stops with no thumb
pressure. Now practice at that setting with light side arm flicks.
Once you have your hand trained for that you can let off some of the
brakes or lighten the spool tension to cast better. Use your thumb to
lightly feel the spool as it spins out while casting, and if it feels
like its bunching up clamp down with your thumb to stop a bad cast. If
you continue to have an issue with backlash stretch out as far as you
think you will cast on average, and put a wrap of tape around the
spool. Then reel up over the layer of tape. Practice until you can make
good casts anywhere in that range 99% of the time.
