Welcome to BFT! From the description of the knob you were talking about it almost sounds like a spinning reel. On the front of this reel is a knob as well this is your drag. It may need a little tightening so that you can reel in the fish. If you tighten it too much the line will break. But again as suggested a pic will help us out on deciphering what reel you do have.
