Tuning Your Baitcaster to Prevent Birds Nest
Рет қаралды 1,842,586
7 жыл бұрынIn this video demonstration, I show you how to properly tune your bait-caster by making subtle adjustments to the cast control mechanism and the spool tensioner knob located on the right side of the reel. The most common types of brake systems on today's reels usually are magnetic brakes, centrifugal brakes, or pin. By adjusting the brake system you can control the speed of the spools revolution which gives you ultimate control and helps eliminate birds nest AKA backlash. My goal for this video is to help you learn how to master your reel. Adjusting the tensioner will help control the velocity of the lure, ideally, you should be able to free spool your reel and the lure should fall to the ground without backlash. Make adjustments until you reach the desired speed. If you like this video, please give a thumbs up, share, and subscribe.

G D Hey Josh . This was an excellent video . I have a Abu Garcia 7001 and I’ve just started practicing in a field . It’s been great so far , although I did had one small birds nest ,but came out of it ok 😌 Also I’m so glad that finally somebody has explained what the spool tension dial knob and brake dial knob on a reel are for in simple terms , as some people get to technical about them !

Some of the baitcasters have braid spooled on them from the store. What I'm wondering is, are all baitcasters braid ready, or is there something to apply to a bare spool that grabs the braid better, like some spinning reels have?

Great Instructional video. I started with baitcaster sixty years ago with no idea how to use it. Fortunately my great uncle was an old time fisherman. He chuckled a bit and showed me how it worked. The reel cost $2.00, Rod $1.00 and line $0.60. I bought two lures for $1.00 each, a yellow Heddon Sonar and an orange Optic. I immediately lost the Sonar but still have the Optic. Guys, Fishing has changed a bunch over the years. Hope you all have at least Sixty years of great fishing. Teach a kid to fish.

Attention all fishermen! I am 59 years old. I have never fished with a Bait caster reel. I mean never even looked at One. I am a spin caster with a 2500 reel and a spin Ugly Stick medium heavy. 12 pound test mono and Braided line low vis green. Rattle Traps, Chartruse spinner baits, Senko's in Green Pumpkin color Texas rigged. My friend bought me a Quantum Pulse Bait caster reel and I bought a 6'6 medium heavy Ugly Stick. Today, I put the combo together. Put a Green Pumpkin shammy stick worm Texas rig on. My friend showed me how to adjust magnets and tension and drag. Let the lure drop by gravity! Set the magnets to 7 on the left side and then set the drag. Had a little trouble at first then got better and better and better caught 6 largemouth bass. Still spin tackle and reels have my heart. But,The Baitcaster is the bomb. Buttery smooth. Made the reel back lash so I could learn how to fix them. So, Fishermen get out there and learn how to use a baitcaster rod and reel. Why wait get started today. Watch this guy and set up your reel right. Then learn how to get The bird nest out. You Will Love it. I promise! See you at the lakes! SHAWN

Got my 1st baitcaster reel, Abu Garcia Revo Toro. My buddy basically explained what you said while I was throwing that baby on a tuna stick. I figured I got it right ready for trip out to the kelp beds. Long story short, I was apart of that 1% that gets the backlash. Luckily I had barely enough cell service that far out and came across your backlash video. Now that I'm home, I've watched this twice already. Gaining more confidence with each view. Thank you for the tips on tuning and getting the birdnest out

I got a bait caster some 30 yrs ago for my birthday. I'd always used spin casters. Tried the baitcaster and put it back in the box. I got it out this year - still looks brand new . Got an expensive medium-heavy rod. Can't throw a lure or bait as any where. Probably trying too light. Got some 1/2 oz sinkers to try. If that isn't working, back in the box...

Wow thanks. I just figured out what the hell I did wrong. I Just started 4 weeks ago and my friend at work put on a new bait for me. I messed with the dials and a few days later it was nesting over and over. Now I know. Thanks bro.

Absolutely awesome. I can thumb it but more importantly my boy can now use a baitcaster. goodbye Zebco. Haha

Helped me a lot too. Just started using a bait caster and it backlashed on my second cast. I watched someone else’s video that had said to set it up looser. I’ll tighten it up, and give it another go. Really like this series.

I’ve watched your videos so thanks. But you as well as many others don’t do a good job of explaining the nuance of tuning the bait caster and how you STILL NEED TO THUMB IT on the cast. Drove me crazy trying to figure that out. And the braking system was described as being oh so important. BS, it’s the tension adjustment on the right side that fine tunes whether birds nest happens. I had to watch multiple videos multiple times to put it all together.

the problem i tend to have it with lighter lures. things such as frogs and spinners are easy but small swim baits tend to be much harder for me. any tips?

Use a spinning reel
@richardburgee6122 6 жыл бұрын
Spinning reel if really light or really dial it in with the brake. U want the lure to not drop super fast

I'm from Minnesota and I grew up with only spinner reels. Mainly to catch northerns etc. Never tried or even handled a baitcast setup. Today, I just bought a Abu Garcia Pro Max baitcast combo from a local shop. The guy who helped me helped me many times before and I trust his word without spending a crazy amount for a beginner. The total was 107 USD (included line and a Booyah frog, which I used on my spinner setups and the northerns just destroy it. Literally) Anyways, the guy gave me a quick tutorial in the store, which kinda of freaked me out a little with all the information about the brake, tension etc. I always fished for northerns but recently I wanted to try bass. Which is a learning curve as well. Need to let the bass take it instead of jerking it like you would hook a northern. So thank you for helping me tune my first baitcast setup! I have the Booyah frog and spent a few minuets dropping and turning knobs and fixing birdies, which I feel comfortable to test it. The guy mentioned I should test it on land first which I think I'll do a few times to get the hang of it. Heard it may take the rest of the summer since I only used spinner reels and need to teach my brain new stuff :) But bass are SO fun to catch. Hear that water break, lilypads fly up. WELL, I'm off to try my luck! Thank you agian!

It seems complicated at first but it really isn't too bad once you get the hang of it.

I have 2 black maxx and a pflueger casting reels,I can get a few good casts out of them and then they backlash just as many casts as I have good ones I have adjusted to no avail it's driving me nuts
@Saltyscales 7 жыл бұрын
That is interesting, I was going to say you may have a brake issue you but it's on two different reels, I could only equate it to user error. Do you have the cast control turned to the highest setting?
@mitchellhelms7238 7 жыл бұрын
Joshua Taylor I've tried everything with the black maxx it still does it but not as bad the pflueger I tried to get the slack out of spool but no good but I'll keep at it til I get it fixed I'm very determined to get it rite
@huntingwithpride 7 жыл бұрын
Mitchell Helms hey man I know your comments a month old but if this helps two buddies of mine bought that same reel the black Maxx and I never heard nothing about it from them other than problems. With the backlash and the spool mostly. One of them almost got out of using baitcasters altogether thinking he was the problem. His reel before it broke due to age and use I reckon but he bought a new one from a different brand he's still fishing to this day I might would look into maybe buying a new reel I know they both did.
@adamdahlin721 6 жыл бұрын
When you adjust them, turn the brakes all the way down, then adjust the tension til your lure drops at a steady pace, not fast and free, then turn the brakes back up. Your lure should almost stop on it's own when it hits the floor when you let it drop after turning the breaks back up.

This video was exactly what i needed. I am really new to the baitcaster and i had exactly the nesting issues as described in the video. Apparently my settings were completely wrong, now i can finally enjoy my new rod to the fullest!
