I have a Shimano Calcutta 201b. I am having a problem with the variable braking system on it. It has 8 brakes you can set on or off. I usually keep it set with all but one of the brakes set to off. This gives me the best casting distance I can get without any backlashes.

For some reason the reel will not stay in this setting. After several casts with 1 brake set in the on position, one or more of the other brakes will pop into the on position which limits my casting distance considerably and I have to manually turn off the other brakes again and again. It happens very frequently and takes unecessary time away from fishing. Has anyone else run into this problem and does anyone know how to fix it so that the VBS keeps the setting I want at just 1 brake on?

Thanks.
