How to cast a spinning rod and reel. Learn the top 5 casts all spinning reel anglers should know how to make them.
If you are fishing with a spinning reel and only have one casting style, you are limiting your opportunities to catch fish. Not all fishing situations are the same and they can require different types of casts.
This video will show you different methods to cast a spin fishing rod. These are techniques that can be used by beginner or advanced anglers alike.
I will explain and demonstrate exactly how to make all of these casts. Being able to make a variety of casts will help you catch more fish. It does not matter if you want to cast artificial lures or real baits, these casts can help you catch more fish.
0:00 Introduction
00:50 Overhand cast- This is the technique for casting a spinning rod most people are familiar with. Learn the best method for making longer casts
03:16 Sidearm Cast - For short to medium casts, and when casting fishing lures, this casts is fast and accurate, in addition to creating a lower profile around spooky fish
04:48 Backhand Cast - This cast can be used when there is another angler, or any obstruction, on your normal casting side.
06:35 The Pitch Cast is used for making quick accurate, and delicate presentations to specific short range targets. Commonly used when casting to bedding bass or by saltwater flats fishing anglers
09:52 The Skip Cast will make your fishing lure bounce across the surface. It can be used for reaching areas under trees, dock, or other overhangs.
These casts can me made with bait casting and spin casting reels as well but this video will focus on techniques specific to spinning rods and reels.

A new-fashioned angler enjoys sharing fishing experience with a friends. Because sharing the experience of fishing turns strangers into friends in a few hours. Thanks for sharing this

Thank you very much. You is the only person show how you open the ring before you throw and close the ring after.

I don't know know what I'm doing wrong but too much line comes out when I cast &/or the line always stays curled even when I try to reel it in a little. I never can get the line to be straight & taught. This is my first spinning reel. Maybe I put the line on the reel wrong? It's frustrating because I spend more time untangling my line &/or trying to get the line tight when I reel it in.

@CaptChrisMyers 3 жыл бұрын

What type of line are you using and is you spool all the way full?

@valhere3950 3 жыл бұрын

@@CaptChrisMyers I think it's a 16 lb regular fishing line. And the spool is almost full but not totally. It's maybe a quarter inch away from being totally full.

@CaptChrisMyers 3 жыл бұрын

With regular mon line especially, if you put it on backwards, that is opposite the twist it was put on the spool at the factory, it will never lie on your spool correctly and will tangle and jump off the spool. Mone line needs to sit on your spool the same way it was on its spool to avoid this. This can also happen if you catch a fish and reel against the drag too much, twisting your line.

@valhere3950 3 жыл бұрын

@@CaptChrisMyers Well, I'm sure you've guessed that I'm a newbie at fishing. I don't know how to tell if I put it on the reel backwards. I layed the spool of line down on it's side as I reeled the line onto the reel. I have no idea how to tell if it came off the spool backwards.

@CaptChrisMyers 3 жыл бұрын

If you flip open the bail and the line wants to come off the spool by itself or if multiple wraps want to come off on their own it may be on backward. I would recommend switching to braided line. lasts longer, casts further, better hookset, and less twist.

I used to use baitcasters for all my fishing but once i came to florida my baitcaster was obsolete. I got a spinning reel and noticed it is really hard to be accurate with the sidecast. Harder to cast sideways with spinning reel than baitcaster for me. I see myself in difficult situations where there are low over hanging trees where a normal cast wont do. Two years in florida now and i still cant be accurate with a side cast. So aggravated

How are you holding the line with your finger. Are you pinching the line against the rod blank and your finger before casting? I find that if you just barely bend your finger and hold the line in the middle of the first section of it, you only have to make a tiny movement to release the line making it easier to time it correctly.

Ok captn' im sorry to say but i just cant get accurate with the spinning reel. I tried and tried and failed. Eventually i just chucked it out of frustration. Now im back to my baitcaster and have no problem sending the bait where it needs to be. It doesnt cast as far as the spinning reel but that is probably because it is very accurate. I use it both for freshwater and salt. I dont think it will be ruined by the saltwater if i rinse it. I do appreciate your seasoned advice. Its just that i have an issue with spinning reels. Thanks again

I can't believe people still trap their line with their forefinger. I was shown how to trap my line with the tip of my thumb by my wife's father. Just the tip. All I do is roll it back to release it.
