  • Hope you enjoyed learning how to use one of my favorite pieces of gear in all of fishing: the spinning reel. It will take you wherever you need to be and serve you well (unless your fishing in 3000 ft of water for swordfish... dont do that haha).
    Comments are open for any questions you might have!
    Much love, tight lines, and never stop fishing!

Look forward to more wart free... you guys know what I'm talking about... videos. I'm ecstatic to start sharing my true passion again. Tight lines and stay tuned.

    Two years old but still good info. I will tell my new fishing buddy to watch this. I fish a local city pond here on occasion. Usually if I don't have long to fish I go there because easy and quick access. I have been running into a young man the last few weeks. He was fascinated by my spinning reels. He had never seen one before in person undoubtedly. I asked him about what he used and he said "baitcaster" I said ah you mean spincaster. He very much said "no I mean the open face reel". Sure enough the next week I saw him again and he was using a baitcaster. He wanted to try a spinner but said he was worried he wouldn't be able to can't with it. I said well surely if you can master a baitcaster you can certainly use a spinner. I was wrong. I watched and tried to teach him for an hour. He absolutely couldn't cast it. Even super bird nested it twice. I can't understand at all how he can be a wizard with a baitcaster and completely fail at a spinner. Had a old timer even come over and try to help him. He couldn't be helped. It's just baffling to me that anyone would have trouble with a spinning reel and ace a baitcaster. I guess I take for granted growing up using both.

    Hi, both myself and one other have used 3 reels each similar to yours, as beginners. Each reel is set up the same as yours but why is it that both of us end up unable to reel in? The line also gets all looped and twisted. We do manually put the metal clip over the line to reel it in, but neither of us knows what we are doing wrong. 4 fishing trips later with new reels again, it's the same all over again. Also, what is that little rectangle eyelet to be used for, on the rod itself. I used that as the first eyelet but you don't seem to use it? Thanks.

      Angling With Alex well I just respooled and the spool is sitting in warm water right now to get some memory for the line but when I tried before, it was very loose when I tried puttin it through the guides and well it just wasn’t working properly it was coming off the line very easily and didn’t seem like it would cast right if I were to cast it. I have yet to cast one of these rods and reels but it just didn’t seem right so I restarted. I also don’t know what to put on the end of my line while I’m not fishing and how to keep it manageable when I’m not fishing. I’m mostly going to be fishing for bass and have some ideas on what to use but I can see it being a real struggle when I have to change bait in and out or when I’m grabbing my pole to go fish.

      @@runofthemillz When your spooling up your reel - make sure to keep solid tension on the line so you dont get that loose feeling - feel free to watch my video on spooling spinning reels. To answer your other problem of when your not fishing and what to do: There is a little tab on the spool shaped like a triangle usually.. It will hold the end piece of the line so it doesn't come unraveled when there is nothing there. Either that or keep a lure on your rod to keep it ready to go.

    - [ ] Your finger should never touch the line. The bail (as mentioned) is down when you open it. Your finger should be touching the edge of the spool to keep it from moving. You release your finger from the spool to control line feed, put you finger back on the spool to stop line feed, very similar to a bait casting reel. Your finger should never touch the line. Try this I think you will like it.

    You are incorrect. The handle should be located on the right side for right handed fisherman. Bait cast, offshore reels all have the crank on the right. Try it... it is much better for control and cranking precision.

  • @baldrickscunningplan6154

    Wrong. You should be trapping the line against the spool with your middle finger. Not trapping the line against the handle. You can then use the same finger to brake the line before the lure hits the water. Eliminating any bow in the line.
    That is how to cast correctly.
