In this video we're going to teach you everything about casting a baitcaster. How exactly do you cast these intimidating reels called casting reels. Baitcasting reels are used for a variety of fishing techniques so it's really important as you advance in your fishing career to learn exactly how to cast these awesome setups. If you fish bass lakes with heavy cover, cast spoons for steelhead, finesse fish the edges of lily pads, and so many more fishing techniques we could talk about... you NEED to consider learning how to use a baitcasting setup because it will help you catch more fish! Apply firm pressure on the spool with your thumb as you start your cast to help prevent the spool from backlashing, and then gradually back off on the pressure to feather your line out during the remainder of the cast. Watch this video from Jordan of Addicted Fishing as he explains the rest of the info you need to know to become a pro at casting a baitcaster.

When I learned how to use a baitcaster I put a paper plate at the other end of my yard and practiced for a week until I could hit the plate fairly consistently. It helped a lot with back lashes and not sending it into the trees.

I live on the Clackamas, I typically am a trout fisherman but want to get into salmon and steelhead. I tried a few years ago but honestly got overwhelmed with watching KZfaq and trying to keep track of all the different fishing techniques and rigs for those techniques. I would love a simple booklet or pamphlet of all your favorite rigs drawn and laid out. If that makes sense! I know doesn’t line up with this video but I think it would be a great tool. I used to guide mountaineering and rock and I created a diagram for the haul systems to hand out to clients, it was super helpful. Thanks for the great videos and keep up the good work.

Hey guys, love the content! Great info on dialing in the tension knob. I was wondering, when going for a drag free float drift, should I loosen my tension a bit further than normal? I have a baitcaster on the way that I am throwing on a Raven float rod, and I also am coming from a Centerpin. Looking for that balance between smooth casting and smooth drifting - I was thinking maybe loosening my tensioner and tightening down the brake a ton could be the ticket. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Great tutorial Jordan and thanks! I noticed that your Okuma reel didn't seem to have the magnetic internal braking system found on other Okumas and other brands. It's normally found on the opposite side of the reel from the star drag and spool tension knob. That internal brake will also help many people that are new to baitcaster reels as they learn their technique.

@SuperFrodo95 Жыл бұрын

I've found the magnetic brake to be very useful. I have mine set at around 60% on an Abu Garcia MaxPro and I can cast 1/8 ounce soft plastics pretty comfortably, only stopping the spool with my thumb as the lure hits the water. After watching a couple videos on using baitcasters, I had my spool tension set for the weight of my lure, and the brake cranked all the way up. First cast barely went 5m out. I've since been tweaking only the brake to get more distance. And if I lower it too much, then I'll get overrun on the cast and the spool will bind up and stop the lure dead. Then it's just a cast of unpicking the bird's nest, reeling my lure back in, and increasing the brake a click or two. Having that magnetic brake just means you don't have to touch the spool during a cast, only at the end once the lure splashes down.

Im new to using a bait castor, I usually use a spinner rod, I was told to cast out in a “U”motion and at the same speed. But when I do that it doesn’t cast that far out. And apparently I get onto for not doing it right. I didn’t know you can cast it out just like you can with a spinner rod. Thank you for the tips, I will definitely have to test this out.

More power fighting fish out of cover, faster casting, faster line retrieval as some baitcasters have fast gear ratios, better accuracy. Also they handle heavier baits better.

I've been running a baitcaster for many many years and had no idea that the drag had a factor in the castability of the lure, good to know. Also a side note, I still get birds nests every now and then when I get cocky and take all the magnets and brakes off trying to maximize my casts. You miss 100% of the casts that you don't make!

@philhildebrand5634 3 жыл бұрын

Couple added bits. 1.) Until you are comfortable with the reel, do NOT cast into the wind...you are asking for a backlash. 2.) Before you cast, as with any reel, LOOK BEHIND YOU. Be sure you are clear of trees objects and PEOPLE. Too many people hook their buddies every year from not paying attention to their surroundings.

What I would start out with is using a dummy weight, and cast in open ground. That way if you do get a birds nest you don't loose your lure if you get a backlash! I have lost a lot of lures by not checking my line drop, and while trying to fix it I hit a snag. Practice! Practice! Practice!
