Your reel might not have a casting brake, but if it does, use that. Otherwise use your thumb on the edge of the spool itself, rather than pressing it on the uneven line, for more of a fine tunable speed adjustment. You can apply pretty neglible pressure that way and it will prevent the reel from backlashing as a jig sinks.
