One tip I picked up a couple years ago is to do a couple practice casts to get your distance. After a cast pull another 10 feet or so off the spool and then cover the spool with a piece of electrical tape. The tape is long enough to cover the spool but not overlap. Reel your line in covering the tape. When you get a bird’s nest it won’t go deeper than your electrical tape and is amazingly easy to clear. Since then I’ve done that on all my bait casters. I don’t birds nest the spool very often anymore but when it does it’s minimal and so easy to clear. Hope this idea will helps others.

I’ve been fishing my entire life and have never understood why to even bother with bait casters? Too many variables to worry about fiddling with instead of fishing. I’ve also never been able to get the same casting distance vs spinning gear. The only niche I’ve ever really found them them better for was using bass gear to walk the dog with a Zara spook to catch feeding blue fish in salt water if I stumble onto a school. Would love to understand the appeal if I’ve completely missing something over the past 40 years. I just don’t see what makes them worth the potential for trouble especially if you prefer to use lighter gear.

Sometimes that single bad cast can ruin your entire day out. I carry 3 to 5 rods and I've nested all of em in a 2 hour span! Bad day without a doubt! This guy has it figured out.

Just one other tip in casting... I remember Roland Martin saying that is important to 'load up the rod tip' when you're casting as well, and it's just a little bit easier with a fast action rod. When you're casting and you load the rod tip, you're creating tension between the lure and the spool, and when you release, the lure will travel the same speed as spool due to the tension.

The reason manufactures set the drags to their lowest setting is to avoid getting flat spots on your drag washers. The flat spots are what causes your drag to be jerky. So always turn your drags to zero when storing.

Very informative, very personable. I took my first baitcaster out for the maiden voyage yesterday. I couldn't cast more than ten or fifteen yards, I'm thinking the brake on the right was too tight. Excellent description of how to set the brakes, thanks. Needless to say with as short as my casts were, I didn't catch anything. I hadn't caught a fish in 15 years. Switched back to the spinning reel, threw out some glittery salmon eggs, was JUST about to check the bait and change it out for a chunk of peanut butter Clif bar, when I got a bite. I proceeded to land a HUGE rainbow trout, my first fish in 15 years (to be fair I had only been fishing 5 or 6 times) and the largest fish I've ever personally caught...19 inches😯. I am looking forward to using the techniques I've seen here to at LEAST get my baitcaster out to a usable cast length. Thanks

If you're using braid around rocks, and not fishing topwater, use a mono or floro leader, it's better than braid for rocks. If you're like me and you use one of these for catfishing and large baits/weights, keep your thumb on the line when you cast, and stop it the moment it hits the water, you can let go after. If you don't, the big bait/weight will cause a backlash as the bait slows way down but the spool is still going full speed. If your adjustments are made right, this will be the only way you'll really backlash, and it's preventable with a quick stop and release as the bait hits water.

I'll try to help explain the backlash... lol: Ex: When casting, the amount of force you use determine the speed of the spool. Let's say its 1000rpm with the first setting you did in this video. Hypothetically, let us say that makes your lure travel at 30mph. With wind pushing against the lure, it slows the lure down to 28mph. The spool however is still spinning at 1000rpm. This means that the line going out is being backup due to the slowing lure. In turns it makes the dreaded backlash.* * Numbers are just made to be simple and in no way close to real mathematical and physics applications.** ** before the mathematicians come correcting my math.

One thing stopping the reel as soon as it hits the water is vital . Recently bought a Curado dc shimano say to only take out the movement in the reel and not to tighten it to slow it down . With trepidation I did my first cast did birds nest a bit it was trivial , giving a more concerted effort it worked really well but in the case of the reel to be trouble free you must stop that reel as soon as it lands with your thumb . I used setting two of four which is for braid have not tried setting one yet which is the least assistance .

Cheap cheap cheap, but it taught me everything I needed to know for when I want to dabble in something more expensive. I find the cheaper baitcasters are always better to learn on because newer and more expensive reels have things to help eliminate backlashes. Trust me, I was ripping braid out of my reel for a good two weeks before I bought Flouro and went out with the right settings lol. Worth it.

One thing I found useful years ago (as a right handed person) is to either purchase left hand crank reels or buy reels that allow the user to move the crank to the left side. I know it sounds crazy but using this tackle reversed is immediately so much better because you don’t have to switch the rod to the other hand after a cast. Secondly, I’ve found that a good quality braided line tends to be less prone to backlash. And if it does backlash, it is usually easier to work out than even a high quality mono line. Well worth the distance you may lose on a cast.

it's all about practice. the way I learned was by using heavy weight lures with 65 lb braid. it's all about uaing the load of the road and not allowing to much snap or whip in your casts when you start out. take a 5 gallon pale a put some water in it. swing it back and forth without swishing the water around. that's how it should feel when your casting.

When you set the reel tension knob, you really aren't looking to stop backlash, per say, it's actually spool 'over run'. In other words, the spool should stop rotational movement simultaneously as the lure hits the ground. If the tension is adjusted way to light while doing this initial adjustment, of course there will be backlash on a cast, but not while making adjustments, the spool may overrun, but it is easily corrected. Most real backlashes are hard to impossible to work back out. The main cause of backlash after proper adjustments are made, is forcing the cast to make a distance that exceeds all adjustments, and/or without feathering as he mentioned. Your thumb should always be almost touching the line after it is raised off the spool when the cast is started, so a major backlash can be halted. I started baitcasting on a 1940s Shakespeare bare essential, non- levelwind reel, no magnetics, just a spool tension adjustment on both sides of the reel. Master one of those, and these modern reels ARE virtually 'backlash-free' as some manufacturers claim.

Man. I bought my first bait caster (Lews) and was about to throw it in the trash and stick to my trusty spinners. But I figured I would give it one more shot, untangled the nest from my last cast, and found this video. After I tuned it up like you showed, I put a weight on the end of my leader and threw a few dozen casts in my backyard. Had a minor nest early on but she was easy to untangle and after I got the hang of feathering the spool, I was hitting targets with sniper precision from one side of my yard to the other. Can’t wait to throw some casts at the lake with it now. Thank you man!

I stopped using braid even with a leader it’s too much of a headache especially with a leader going through guides and the level wind. Mono is all I fish with I actually prefer a little stretch especially with a M-MH rod or treble hook baits and definitely top water. Hook up ratio, fighting the fish, invisibility, lure action (depending on line size) and it really shines in shallow areas also price point & strength is what I look for in line.

Good video. Dude you need to swap to a LH reel, it will feel weird for a few days...but after a bit you will sell all you RH reels! It's the ergonomics...every time you cast you have to swap rod to left hand. Most folks are right handed, so with RH reel setup, you're playing the fish with your weaker left arm and winding with your strong right arm, but your casting with right arm. I'm a pro guide in Scotland and we get many American guests that were given a RH reel when they were young. Try it. It might seem a small change, but if you're fishing professionally or hours a day, ergonomics and comfort are important.

Very informative. Have been using baitcasters since early 1990 and can just agree totally with you. But i have noticed that most Bass fishermen have a different casting stroke the we scandinavians have. You use more like a catapult stroke that is faster. Like a slingshot 🤙

It's about understanding the breaks of the reel and adjusting it to the friction from air and the eyelets of the pole. Once you get the hang of that you will never go back to spinning reels. Precision and distance is so much better
@troymuni6120 2 жыл бұрын
I’ve been trying them off and on since the 90’s. The only way I’ve ever gotten more distance casting vs spinning is with heavy baits of 3/8oz. Minimum of 1/4oz but even that is asking for trouble. The physics of not having any resistance to slow down the spool on a spinning reel make it hard for me accept a bait caster could ever outcast spinning. Factor in everything you need to worry about to not end up with a birds nest, they’ve never seemed worth the hassle. I’ve always just avoided them except for niche situations. I also find it more enjoyable and productive to go as light as possible with my gear.

Nylon monofilament didn't come on the fishing scene until Dupont began manufacturing it in 1939. Prior to that, braided lenin, silk, and dacron materials were common. The Chinese made the first braided lines of silk. Commercially sold Dacron braid became the most popular long before mono. I was using it on my Abu Garcia reels, made in Sweden back in the '50s. Then when mono became more popular in the late '50s I began using it on my reels. It did have more memory. But one trick I used to do to help remove most of that memory prior to each day's fishing was to hook the end of the line to a tree and pull about the first 50-yards off the spool and stretch the line. That would relax the line and take the "Slinky" look out of it making it more casting friendly. Ande Monofilament was noted for its softness and thus having reduced memory. I began testing some of the "newer' braids in the late '80s. Numerous materials were experimented with, and some destroyed guides, but Spectra and Dyneema were among the most popular materials used, and still are today. Fluorocarbon lines first were commercially manufactured around 1970 by Seaguar of Japan. They were mostly used by fly anglers because of their reduced light reflectance and "invisibility". Somewhere in the mix, copolymer lines were made. Each has different properties and has a purpose for different fishing scenarios.

Yep! Great info! I’ve worked with Seaguar for 3 years now 👍🏼
@Lees920 2 жыл бұрын
@@TylersReelFishing I mostly use fluorocarbon leaders on fly lines, since the stiffer material helps turn over the fly, and the connecting knots don't have to go through guides that ultimately weaken the knots. But a disadvantage seems to me that the slightest chafing of a leader makes it become incredibly visible to fish, making them leader-shy. You may not have quite as many freshwater fish that will chafe line as in saltwater, but I have seen fish turn away from a lure with a chafed leader.

I’d always used spinning reels but finally broke down and bought my 1st baitcaster several years ago, a Quantum Escalade on a 7’ 6” Carrot Stix Wild. Not knowing any better, my 1st 3 casts equaled 3 birds nests, which subsequently led to my new setup going unused for the rest of the season. lol Wish I’d had this tutorial back then! Fortunately I did take the time to learn how to adjust and throw it, and I’m glad I did. Love your vids, keep up the good work and hello from Maine!

Finally got a baitcaster and had the best day I’ve ever had on my pond. Caught my PB bass (a mama I didn’t even know was in there) and a few others. It was so much fun. I felt like I got the hang of it within 20 minutes. Of course I had several back lashes and just pulled them out with some hard tugs. Found out later that wasn’t a good idea, because when I pulled hard, I was actually cramming the line deep into the loose spool and making a crease. Then at the end of the day I had enough confidence to try throwing into the wind. First cast into the wind and it hit that crease. I tried tugging it out and it was done. Irreversible birds nest. After 2 hours of pulling at it with tweezers I ended up just cutting the line and pulling some out. Luckily I had plenty on and only lost about 25-30ft. After all that… I’m obsessed. The fun was immeasurable and I have learned so much just in one day. I wish I watched your “how to remove backlash” video before I went out, but the information you share is much appreciated.
