Nice, commenting at 9:45, both reel types have their own advantages, for the conventional try getting a rod where the reel anchors to the lower end of the rod. Then the thumb braking and control you do on the inside/top side of the spool and not on the line. Then make a light fake cast and when you bring it back then you send it. Holding the rod with reel tilted at no more than 90 degrees on it's side at the point of casting bringing it to horizontal after despatching payload. Then if stuck in rocks/kelp always wrap line around rod and don't put tension on spool or drag system and slowly start moving backwards. Don't use spool bearing nuts as a braking system. Always ensure that spool release is on release when casting with a conventional real, because the amount of power you exert when casting is going to dislodge the rod and reel from your grip to cast out of your hands. A costly disaster if you are casting on a hard surface like rocks. When you practice start slow, go for release, line tension control ,accuracy and mastering of the cast. Then comes power and distance. More distance can be achieved by releasing some more line when one brings the rod back from the fake cast with intent, like /as one does with flyfishing adding a meter or two when casting. The latter requires that one has mastered the reel and casting with it. 15:38 Waist rod holders, and casting with the conventional reel is going to test your knots, line and your temperament. I would recommend a +/- 12 kg line, leader of your choice or required, a lighter sinker/weight line, so if it is stuck and you have hooked a fish, let the weight's line be the part that breaks. Then swivels, don't use tri just normal. Hook and main line to the top loop and weight line too bottom. The sliding rig you have shown in the past is also effective on sand /surf. On reefs less is more effective. Can you cast spinning rigs with conventional, yes, but not very light ones.
@Shurmash2 жыл бұрын
The key is to use at least 3' of line hanging from the rod tip when surf casting. This reduces spool startup speed which lowers the chance for backlashes and leads to increased distance. On baitcasters I use at least 2' of line when distance casting. Tight lines out there!

Lengthen the drop to 8' which slows down the cast even more. Then cast off-ground or pendulum, compressing the rod. An overhead cast doesn't load the rod properly which causes the tip to straighten to soon. This causes a surge at the reel and leads to birdsnests.

I'll keep that rod for when I get a kayak but I'm ordering a Abu Garcia veritas 7'9 rod to use with the Black Max reel in the surf. I'll always have my 10' and 12' spinning surf rods for beach bait fishing, however I feel the longer baitcaster will be a lot mote fun with lures and plastics in the surf and estuaries.

Thank You so very much for the great video!! With the most Sincere due respect, what you're referring to as a "Conventional Reel", here in the Northwestern U.S. and British Columbia Canada, Salmon and Steelhead anglers, call them "Baitcasting" Reels (including the Bass, Catfish and Sturgeon anglers). I'm a retired Fish Pathologist in the Pacific Northwest and presently an Outdoor and Science writer (formerly a Columnist and Contributing Science editor for the largest Fish Culture Magazine). I also do some very limited guiding for Pacific Salmon, Steelhead and Sea-Run Cutthroat trout). Since we're 10 minutes from the Ocean, I also fish for non anadromous Ocean species, such as Lingcod, Rock fishes. I began fishing for landlocked Brown Trout (Salmon trutta), at 3 years of age (in the late 50s?). Later as a teenager I fished for the Huge anadromous Brown Trout in Caspian Sea tributaries.. Also whenever I had the opportunity, I fished for the largest Sturgeon on Earth (the Beluga), In Caspian Sea!! Sometimes, even less commonly, I fished the Persian Gulf, for GT (Giant Trevally), and Very limited Angling for Billfish (Marlin). Unfortunately due to a Serious problem with motion sickness in the Sea (both Caspian Sea and Persian Gulf), I avoided fishing in the Sea from a boat!! Please forgive my errors, as I'm typing this on a very cheap phone without my glasses 🤓

Nice video. I like the enthusiasm, well presented. A lot of people get intimidated learning how to throw a baitcaster. There is a learning curve and it takes a bit of time and practice but it can be VERY rewarding when it all comes together. A couple of tips. When laying down the line, it is important to lay down the line evenly AND to keep the line lay consistent. Try this, when cranking in, count the number of handle turns you take per pass (left to right or vice versa) and try to keep this close to the same every time. On a 656 size reel this is about 6 turns per pass. On a 666 or 757 size try about 7 turns per pass. On the actual cast you are leaving a lot of distance on the table by being right arm dominate. Focus on a complete pull with the left (all the way to the left side of your chest) allowing the right to act as a fulcrum point as you "punch". The pull is where most lose power. Also "LOOK UP" to your target which is 45 deg above the horizon over the desired splashdown spot. Again, well done as this will help others get past the stigma of baitcasting reels!

I had watched your videos for a long time and you surprise me with the addition of a casting reel. As a very old user of this type of reel let me recommend you try to get an Abu Garcia 6500 C3. This reel is made in Sweden and is the longest I have used. Combined with a 10' or 11' fast rod you can cover a lot of water with the added benefit of not having to take care about how the line is leveled on the reel. I have been outcasting my friends for years using this reel. One caveat: use mono line because the braid lane does not "mix well" with the level winder. I normally use Trilene XT in 17 lb. Good luck and Happy Fishing...

I suggest that you do not "bring the momentum forward," but rather pull down hard and fast with your left hand. Your right hand should be your fulcrum point. Use the magnetic spool brake to slow it as it comes down the arc, open it up and use your thumb to slow the spool, your cast will go much further.

Some folks can’t use conventional and I’ve fished and lived in NC for 67 years. I am 60% blind. If you can’t see well you can’t use a conventional reel. You have to know when that bait rig hits the water so you can use your thumb to stop the spool and avoid the backlash. When I lost my sight I sold my conventional baitcasters after being unable to cast effectively. The line guide is called the level-wind mechanism. After years and years with spinners I have no problem getting my rig where I need it. I wish I could use a conventional reel but you do what you have to. I use vintage Mitchell, Penn, Bretton, and Luxor PUM fishing reels some of which were made in the 1050s.I have 150 vintage surf spinning reels. Bail-less spinning reels can get very close to the distance of conventional reels. Bails just get in the way. Great Pompano!

Been casting conventional fifty-some years. You share tips, here's a few for you, if you like; Ditch the magnetic braking and clutch the spool with your thumb instead. Like the difference between car's automatic or manual transmissions, the manual gives a more precise measure of control. And, if you rotate the rod 90 on it's longitudinal axis so the spool is riding on one bearing, rather than both, you get more distance for the duration of the cast. Sans level wind mechanisms (good for you), thumb alone will do it. Might be more comfortable. On the rare occasions when I do get a backlash. it's minor. Then, there's always some dork standing right behind me saying, 'You see, that's why I use spinning gear.'. But he's not even fishing today. He's only there for commentary purposes. Uhh, okay...

Just some info that those that have never used a 'baitcaster' before (that IS what this 'conventional' reel is, for all intents and purposes in this video). The right side adjustment, tensioner, removes 'slack' from the reel axle to stop side play. it can also be tightened (do not over tighten) to prevent backlashing that occurs at the BEGINNING of the cast. Typically, you adjust the tensioner so your lure/bait fall slowly (before casting). The 'braking' (be it magents, friction pins, centrifugal) slows the spool near the END of the cast when the lure/bait slow down as they lose energy during 'flight'. This helps prevent backlashing near the END of the cast if the spool is 'spinning' faster than the line is peeling off it (as the lure/bait slows). The rule of thumb is, right side for the beginning of the cast (tensioner), left side for the end of the cast (braking). And adjust the braking for 'wind'...more into the wind, less with the wind. And remember, the third and most important brake for baitcasters, YOUR THUMB. Both tensioner and brake are SET in a position, ONLY your thumb is 'dynamic' during your cast. You can apply and release thumb pressure during your cast. RE: the 'conventional casts farther'...I don't know anyone that would say a baitcaster casts farther than a spinning rig. Given that spinning rigs don't have 'tensioners' or 'brakes' to slow down the line feeding off the spool (and nearly EVERY baitcaster HAS to have some kind of 'braking' even if its just your thumb) I don't know how a baitcaster could cast farther (unless you forego ANY braking at all...then a birds nest will JERK your lure/bait to a stop anyway and WAY short of any distance). Personally, I fish off shore with my Penn10 (20lb) on an 8.5ft Med. rod and have NO issues with distance. I can cast just as far as my (though not really adequate for the target fish) spinning rigs (max. 15lb. line on 7ft. MH rods). But that's NOT 'surf fishing', it's shore fishing. Salmon runs, flounder (and damn crabs/clams that keep taking my bait). But I have ALWAYS been able to outcast (distance) my baitcaster using my spinning rigs (every thing being equal other than reels).

It’s cool that you still use conventional, however I question how practical bait caster reels are when spinning reels are less expensive and simple, without all the bird nest headaches, and I contend spinning reels are more versatile and will preform better when used with a variety of weights when properly set up with braid. Though conventional have more power, spinning reels can move line in faster than conventional, unless you are willing to spend big bucks. Perhaps the biggest nod to spinning over bait casting is, no matter how much you spend on one, they do not (and cannot) offer water sealed components like the spinning reels. Ultimately, I think it comes down to preference. Both will get the job done. To me, it’s like my motorcycle. I own a retro. New modern bikes generally have better performance, and often at a lower price, however I like the look and feel of my old school bike. It’s what I am comfortable with and enjoy. I could be wrong, but it seems it’s much the same feeling for those who choose baitcasters over spinning reels. Thanks for the videos !

Using a rod with a short butt and a conventional reel will increase ease of casting and distance. Thanks for good vids

Just make sure it's a casting rod with a short butt. Guides are different for both types and each type is meant to bend a different way

A trick I learned when casting a conventional real is is to tie surgical tubing Around the rod handle and use it To pressure thumb against the real For friction and farther Cass Also after a while your thumb will start to Develop blisters From repeated casting So that surgical tubing really helps

Hey Skipper, why not try a shimano or dawia surf reel in comparison to your casting reel and see what results get.

Always wet the line on a baitcast before hook and bait or use fresh water to wet the line before casting.

might be the two best and best value spinning reals made today. easy to maintain, not sealed but no bearings to get toasted by salt water & sand , of is the one or two bearings, i forget? They are dead reliable...guys have been fishing them for about 40-50yrs ....my new SaltX 6000 is great but all those seals are just fragile which leaves bearings vulnerable once a seal blows out. but it's sure fun to work on...kinda. :p

A helpful hint when surf fishing or pier fishing a conventional reel is WET it down before making the 1st cast :)

That Stella is not a Surf Spinning reel. But the "conventional" reel will always reach farther. Which is not really much important in some cases. As someone commented below the conventional reel must be mounted near the low end of the rod. Try a Saltiga Surf spinning reel and tell us more... Check the South Africa surf fishing videos...

hey skipper, use schedule 40 pvc in 5 foot sections as rod holders, cut the end at an angle, get them about half way in the sand... strong enough to fight sharks from them, wont get your nice expensive combos yanked into the water if a big un pulls hard. great vids as always. God bless
@badass.bob13 жыл бұрын
I do the same too. Here in Australia, it's 50mm pvc conduit. Cut the end at 50° about 1 metre long pushed half way into the sand. I've hooked sharks on my 12' rod and they haven't pulled my rig down yet. Cheep nd effective.

@@badass.bob1 yes sir, i use the slightly smaller diameter because most of my blanks are built for jetties and rocks, no bulky butt ends and small conventional reels on long rigs , i build my 50w rod this way too, ive pulled these pvc pieces with my full body weight and they hold tight. australlia is a dream fishing destination for me. im in s.texas

I never worry about my rod holders. I use strong metal ones (as well as some pvc ones too) and as long as your drag is loose enough and you can hear the clicker going off that rod ain't goin nowhere
