Cast Light Lures with a BAITCASTER! (Tips & Casting Demonstration 2018)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 січ 2018
- The stick bait and fluke are two of the most productive soft plastics on the market. Fishing said lures weightless is common, however, casting them is another issue. Some anglers prefer to use spinning tackle and there is NOTHING wrong with that. However, I prefer to use a baitcaster whenever possible. I like the power, accuracy, and comfortability that baitcasters offer.
Join me as I walk you through picking the appropriate reel, line, hook, lure, and rod to make casting weightless lures easier. We'll also head outside for some field testing and casting techniques!

How UA-cam knew I was fishing weightless lures and backlashing like a boss this morning is beyond me. Glad you put this video up, man! Thanks!! 😀
Hahah you're welcome man, glad it helped! Thanks for watching!
I concur C o D
1 year later same thing happening lol
UA-cam uses google, location services, and your microphone
😂😂😂😂
I am 68 yrs old and been fishing since I was 8 when my dad took me on his 24’ Chris Craft to Catalina Island in SoCal (Southern California) for Bluefin Tuna. I was hooked by the size of fish caught and the adventure of offshore fishing. Fishing in a body of water knowing that at best the fish will weigh 5-10# was not inspiring.
I retired 10 yrs. ago from San Diego and moved with my wife to mainland Mexico where I’ve been throwing big poppers, buzz bombs, and heavy jigs for Roosterfish, Wahoo, Yellowfin Tuna, Yellowtail and Dorado from a kayak or boat. Name of the game is distance, get the jig asap on the birds/boil. No spinning gear here.
We have recently moved back to the states to become grandparents. My wife asked where do you want to live? Well California was a non starter and I have a bucket list of fish I have never caught being a westcoast fishermen. I said Florida. I have never caught a Redfish, Speckled trout, Cobia, Tarpon etc. one little problem is my gear is for offshore. My wife rolled her eyes when I explained that I had to buy a new arsenal of rods and reels. So a new Piscifun Torrent casting reel and 7’6” Torrent mhf rod arrived yesterday (better gear later), and I took my knowledge and loaded it up with 30# braid, 1/8th jighead with soft plastic, set the tension and number 5 on the magnetic brake and let her rip! POW! My educated thumb failed. The cast went all of 10 yards and I had to de-spool the braid and throw it away. This old dog needs to learn some new tricks.
Cleaned up the gear and came into the house and put on UA-cam looking for tutorials on the do’s and don’ts of Baitcasters. Found your site and will practice until I get it right. Your video’s were great and easily understood. More like this would be great. Thanks again....tight lines
Sounds fun but I'm the other way lol. I have absolutely no interest in saltwater fishing lol. All I want to do is go after bass, walleyes, trout and and other freshwater fish. Maybe it has to do with where we are raised. You being from California are more prone to ocean fishing and ne being from the mountains of West Virginia I'm more prone to freshwater rivers amd lakes. I have saltwater fished on vacation a few times and it was fun. But it didnt come close to freshwater for me
Dude, I'm so thankful to have found your channel. One of the few guys who I feel actually teaches instead of just brag on what equipment they have. Don't stop doing what you do, you're super helpful.
Thank man, greatly appreciate that. I will certainly keep pushing on. Have a good weekend 👊
But Deboss equipment game is definitely brag worthy.
You’re one of the most helpful guys I’ve seen on UA-cam, you explain things even clearly, I’ve been fishing for a while now yet I’m still learning new things from you. Keep it coming 👍🏻👍🏻
Nic B thanks man, that means a lot to me. Glad I could help a fellow angler. If you ever have an idea for a video, let me know. Thanks for watching!
@@DEBOSFishing I'm just getting into bait casters and I fish with alot of Beatle spins and super light small lures in creeks and cant figure out how to cast them with a bait caster. Please tell me how to set it up for that
@@hopecamel for really light lures like that you will be better off with a spinning rig. Usually 1/4 oz and up are what I use on a baitcaster. Hope this helps man!
My 13-yo daughter developed love of fishing in a tiny neighborhood pond on her own. I’m trying to spend time with her by learning to fish. Your videos are helping me do that. Much thanks.
U are d best 👍🏻 buddy ✅
My colleagues love to watch Ur videos while I am watching and comments like, " wish we had teachers to teach us maths & science, we sure wld hv got distinction"
😀😀😀😀😀
Love U Bro...
Stay blessed... 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you soooo much for being VERY thorough but MOST OF ALL for instructing us in what to do in the event of the start of an overrun or backlash and distinguishing at what point of the cast is controlled by what part of the reel! There are tons of "how to learn a baitcaster" type vids out there but yours is one of the very few that actually tell us "how to fix this if this starts to happen in the ____ of the cast". Excellent job! Thank you for paying attention to what others apparently didn't!
La Techie thank you for the comment brother, I truly appreciate that! I hope this helps you out. If you ever have any questions, let me know and I'll try to help!
I like how you explain things most others take for granted we already know. That peripherical information is invaluable.
I just re-watched this video and found a whole new appreciation for it. I've been having baitcasting issues lately, and it seems that I have just sort of forgotten the fundamentals. It is good to go back and remind yourself from time to time how to do things the RIGHT way, as over time your bad habits just seem to get entrenched. At least that is true for me. This is a really excellent instructional video. If I could give this a second like, I would!
Hey man, even old guys like me find it necessary to come back and brush up on the fundamentals. Posts like this are important to some of us. I've been away from bass fishing for 20 years. These posts help a lot .
Ken
WOW! Fantastic instructional. This could be one of your best videos. I’m really going to try all of these modifications. The light spool with smaller diameter line with slack in the line with a heavier wire hook seems like common sense yet I really didn’t even think too much about it. The “tennis racket” and “dart throwing”technique are excellent memory cues to keep in mind that I’m definitely going to try. Thank you for sharing this info and for making such an intricate procedure a little more simplistic.
Chris McVey thanks man, appreciate all the support! Yea, it does seem easy but I struggled with it for some time. Hope this helps and thanks you again for watching!

I freaking LOVE THIS GUY,he is always there for advice and great content🔥🔥🔥he is always the first guy I go to for fishing keep up the great work Debo🔥🔥🔥🔥and KASTKING FOR LIFE
Thanks for the love my man. I'm always here to help a fellow feeshin friend! 👊
So here I am 64 never owned a bait caster setup. Ordered a beginner setup with great reviews (for beginners)! I've been watching a lot of videos and reading a lot of the do's and don't s regarding bait casting.
Your explanations/videos really simplify the process for me. Thanks I've just subscribed.
New subscriber and huge kastking fan!! Your explanations are very easy to understand and uncomplicated!! Love it!!!
Hey! That makes you a #verifiedfeeshinfriend Thanks for watching my friend!
Your videos just keep getting better man. Topics are great! I actually never thought about the spool weight playing a part in throwing light tackle,👍. Definitely gonna swap over to my stealth for the lite stuff and give it a whirl. Can't wait to see what you come up with next!
BD Customs thank you very much brother, appreciate the kind words! Trying to figure out the next one lol.
Hey Debo, I subscribe to your channel and mostly just wanted to thank you for your content and teaching style. After 30 years of mostly finesse fishing with a spinning reel, I have really gotten into a bait caster with DC breaks to throw weightless soft plastics. I have the Shimano Scorpion DC (Japanese version of the Curado DC) and highly recommend this reel. Much smaller learning curve and more versatility out on the water.
Thanks for watching my videos, Brian. It's because of folks like you that I keep making these. I have never used a DC reel but they look interesting. I've heard from a lot of folks that they make casting quite easy.
Good video! I throw my weightless worms on a spinning combo and have never thought to use my baitcaster. This video has me thinking to try the weightless worm on a baitcaster come spring time. Thanks for the info!
Great info! I’m new to baitcasters. Used spinners growing up. I just bought a abu Garcia black max from Wally World. Gonna try some braid and practice these techniques. Thanks!
I used to get so frustrated fluke fishing, I love to fish a fluke in the fall. Just doesn't doesnt don't justice with a keel weighted hook. I always thought the flukes we're harder to throw weightless then a stick bait even. For the longest time I was just making short casts or skipping with a spinning reel, sucked...was a disaster lol As time went on I found for me anyways ..a medium heavy FAST action ,helped me so much, I figured out a longer rod 7'3 instead of 7'0. nowadays I don't think I use under a 7-3 for anything. Debo you the man! Just arent any other UA-camrs that are as elaborate as you, very few. Your presentation, the close ups...it's just art man! Thanks for your hard work!
Thanks my man, that means a lot to me. Yes, that longer rod will definitely help. Have a good weekend my friend!
Great tips. I had not realized the benefits of the wiffled spool when casting weightless lures. Thanks.
Joseph NY Wayfarer absolutely my friend, happy to help! Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment!
Excellent video bro I learned a lot. I just got my first Baitcaster and I watched your video and it helped me figure out how to set this up. Tight lines!
SuperDuper Outdoors I'm so happy'to hear that man. Glad I could help! If you ever have any questions, feel free to message me. Tight lines brother!
Awesome video Dev!!! Definitely gonna start paying more attention to my 3 pieces of the setup! Never thought about the relationship between Rod, Line, and hook size!!!
Andrew Alphin thanks brother, don't know how I missed your comment. Appreciate you watching my man!
I just hit the subscribe after watching a couple videos. Well done. Thinking of picking up a baitcaster this spring so these are very helpful. Appreciate it.
That's awesome, you sir are a #verifiedfeeshinfriend I hope this vid helps you should you choose to purchase a baitcaster!
Thanks man you really just cleared up some stuff for me with casting. I just put 30lb Braid on my Baitcaster and I plan to use it primarily it for Hollow Body Frogs in Heavy Cover and other heavier baits. I need to upgrade the rod though Again I started with a Zebco Rod that is a Medium Light Spincast reel to a Med/Heavy Fast 6'3 $15 jawbone rod.
Rob P use what you have and focus on working the baits. You can always upgrade and add to your arsenal as you go. Don't need a bunch of fancy gear to get out and have fun! Tight lines man!
I have just back into fishing and I have an old baitcaster made by DIAWA. Now I am upgrading to 1. LEW'S Tournament baitcaster and I have just purchased a KASTKING MEGAJAWS Black version that has 7.5 retrieve on the line. Just trying to find a good Honey Bass Hole. I live outside of Atlanta in Dallas, GA. Love the way you explain fishing in great detail. I am subscribing to your channel. Keep up the good video.
Thanks man, appreciate you becoming a #verifiedfeeshinfriend Good luck on the water 👊👊👊
Excellent instructional video. I love how your delivery is so clear and smooth. Great work. Thanks for posting this.
Bob Dashiell thank you for checking out my channel, Bob. I hope this helps people, I know I struggled with it when I started throwing them.
I appreciate you making these kinds of videos. I've been using baitcasters since the original Ambassadeur 5000 came out. Back then casting one was much more challenging than today's modern reels. BTW I still have an original 5000 and it still casts well.
Bob Dashiell haha yea, they were all thumb! You're welcome, I've enjoyed making them! Thanks for taking the time to comment!
They have a centrifugal brake too with interchangeable "brake pads" and even came with a leather case, brake shoes (pads) and a combo wrench/screwdriver. For their era they were fairly pricey but made to last forever. Today's reels can't compare to the quality and long life.
Bob Dashiell oh ok. I had one a long time ago but from what I remember it didn't have adjustable brakes. I ended up moving to a quantum I believe which was like a big current-day baitcaster. Yea, those things were built like tanks!
How could anyone not like this video what more can he say. Great tips!
Finally my prayers have been answered thank you so much for that tutorial, a recently went to a local lake and my first cast bird nest completely and I had to cut the entire line off the reel, thank you so much for the info appreciate it much.
I’m only 2 days into casting. This video was extremely helpful. New subscriber.
I’m using top water baits for now
Another super helpful video! I am definitely a fan now!
Thank you very much for watching, I appreciate your support!
Good video, Deebo. I stayed away from weightless because all I did was backlash with flouro. I tried fishing weightless on braid and did well. Thanks again Deebo!
Another great video. It’s nice to have someone explain what they are doing.
Leslie Kahn absolutely, I'm happy to help. I'm no pro but I'm happy to share the things that have helped me through the years! Appreciate you taking the time to watch!
Debo one of my goto guys about fishing.
Thanks man👊
Great tips! I was struggling today with the wind and all they would bite was weightless. This gave me a few ideas! 👍
I'm glad it helped man. Thank you very much for watching!
Recently found your channel. Great info keep up the good work. You should be one of the bigger fishing channels out there. Best of luck
your5name5here6 thank you very much man. I REALLY appreciate that. I'm just concerned about helping newer people learn and get into the sport. Appreciate all of the support from you feeshin friends!
your5name5here6 thank you for watching as well! 👊
Great work sir... very thorough. Getting a stealth after seeing this video....already have a royale legend, speed ds and spartacus max... yes am a crazy kastking fan...
Mark Capel haha thanks for watching brother. Yea, I'm a fan as well. Lots of amazing reels on the market these days so I hope this helps everyone. Appreciate the comment!
Thank you. Hate to admit it, but I'm terrible when it comes to baitcasters. I swear I've tried and this video makes me want to give it another go. Subscribed.
iu soloman awesome man, I'm happy to hear that. I'm telling you that you WILL get them down. Just takes some practice! Tight lines my friend!
Thanks for sharing the details, this was very helpful.
Love these videos! Thanks for the tips and free content. Randizzle pointed me to your stuff.
Michael Shires that's awesome brother! Thanks for watching! We all need to hit the pond soon!
dude I cant believe you answer all these peoples questions! your earning your money for sure
Imagine what the people walking by were thinking! Lol "look at that guy talking to himself and fishing that field!! 😂😂 Great stuff as always buddy! See I'm binge watching your stuff!
Hahah I DID get some funny faces from onlookers. Oh well💁♂️🤣 Thanks for binging on my vids 👊
@@DEBOSFishing Ahh the price you pay for helping us!! 👍👍👌
Super good video Debo! Your videos get better and better this series is awesome. I like how the little tips pop up in the corner. I'm definitely going to keep these tricks in mind when tossing lighter stuff. I'd like to shoot you an idea for the series as well. Could you possibly do a reel maintenance video? I think it would help out alot of the guys and gals just getting into baitcasters and spinning reels and it's also nice to see how other people do it. Also, I've had some issues with my reel recently it feels really sluggish and takes a bit more force to turn the handle. I always rinse off and re lube my reels since I'm a saltwater guy. You think I gotta just completely degrease and re lube the whole thing? Thanks again Debo and keep the videos coming!
Cato Hostilius thanks for watching my friend! I can put a cleaning vid together. As for the reel, I'm guessing it needs a good clean and lube. That's good that you wash after every use, do you also re-lube after each wash?
DEBO'S Fishing No problem man you got my support. The most I do after the wash is re-oil the bearings. I think I'll take it apart and do a complete clean.
Great info...thanx! I have been shying away from casting rods just for this reason....I'm now prepared to tackle my bait casting fears.
Very helpful. Thanks Debo
good quality bearings, clean and oiled reel, light rod, light line or braid
baitcasting setup is great even for trout
Thank for this ! It’s really helpful 😊
Hey debo, fishing friend Nate S.
I follow and like all your post might watch some religiously. Lol been a huge help as i am new to bass fishing as are some of my friends. Cant thank you enough for tips and tricks i would of never tried or thought of. I'm from Oregon and fishing is different everywhere but this help tremendously. Thanks againg and hope to keep in touch.
Man you are full of great knowledge and tips!!
I'm no pro but I'll share what I know. Thanks for watching man!
@@DEBOSFishing All bull aside, your videos helped me with my baitcaster. I gained a good 20 feet casting distance yesterday with ZERO backlashes doing what you showed me.
@@LukeBarnes5150 that's awesome to hear man. I'm glad the vid helped you out!
The Shimano Caius I just acquired is casting 1/16th and 1/8th ounce beetle spins like crazy and it was 31 bucks on eBay lol so I’d say it’s a so called “BFS” reel. It’s such a nice Baitcasting Reel with an insane Lightweight Spool. Great Video my Friend
I have a few baitcasters, lews, shimanos dc, with dc reels most casting no matter what you throw is mainly no problem. Nice video.
Great lesson Debo!
Fishing In Columbus thanks for the support my friend!
Wow when I first started on the baitcaster, I’ve always used just a senko and never had problems casting
Dylan Pyle that's awesome man! Not all people can do that starting out...you got a head start! Tight lines my friend!
Another good one Deebo!!!
Nasty Nate thank you very much my friend, truly appreciate it!
Thank you Professor Debo.
I’ve had a low profile bait caster for a while and I couldn’t get the hang of throwing weightless baits. This helped allot, shoulda found this sooner.
Awesome video!!! 2nd day with my new baitcaster…was doing pretty good yesterday casted about 50 times with a spinner no problem…went weightless and bang huuuuuge birds nest…awful and in fixable lol
Thanks for the tip gonna grab myself a breaded 20lbs line.
I use weighted ewg for my light lure baitcast. Allows a thinner profile hook while giving extra weight. I'll even peg a small bullet sinker or use a split shot for more weight.
It's definitely a versatile lure that ol' senko.
Another good video! I love fishing senkos, soft swimbaits, and other stick-type baits weightless, I use braid, but this will be my first season adding fluorocarbons and copolymers. Making practice cast, I see they definitely have different characteristics (line memory and all). I also find I have to use more spool tension on my Stealth, maybe due to the light spool. Have you done a video on lowering line memory in fluorocarbons and copolymers, such as with line conditioners and prestretching?
Russell Anderson I've actually been thinking about that. I don't know how much of a difference reel magic makes but I use it. I do stretch my pitching setups for sure. I don't worry about it on my moving baits because they are always under tension. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll have to think on that! Appreciate you watching and commenting!
You sure are a helpful fisherman. Appreciate it 👍💯%
I'm trying to help folks the best I can. Appreciate you watching my friend!
@@DEBOSFishing I got chu homie
Lots of good description with an interesting way of presentation. By contrast I was at my son's graduation a couple of nights ago and some of the teachers speeches were so boring I'm surprised they learnt anything. I could easily see you being a great teacher. I'm glad I found your channel. Thanks again. Now to see if I can get some "feel" into my casting. Then I'll try to fish.
You're very kind. I appreciate that man. I do really enjoy teaching and helping peeps out. Thanks for watching and good luck!
Thank you Debo!
I watched your video and I am. I had a dozen really good casts and then I would get a Birdsnest but I got a dozen good Cass I was pretty happy about that. What I did for my thumb was I glued a piece of cloth over the back end where my thumb should be so I slide my thumb under that and then I I can’t move my thumb normally.
Good solid advice. Thanks bro!
Thanks I've been trying to figure this out haha we still have ice here in Colorado but I got my first baitcaster over Christmas and have been testing it out in the yard
CJ Duran Outdoors you're certainly welcome brother. If you have troubles or questions still, just message me. I'm happy to help you out if I can. Thanks for watching!
DEBO'S Fishing Yeah sure thing! I'll let you know when I get the chance to take it out on the water
CJ Duran Outdoors nice good luck. You'll love it once you get use to it!
DEBO'S Fishing my friend is sponsored by kastking you might know him #getreelbassfishing
My wife was giving me a hard time about spending more time pulling out the bird’s nest than fishing. Now I know why.
I have up and started throwing a crank bait with much success.
I bought my first bait caster last summer. Still working up the skill, but enjoying the challenge
Great video!
I find the Lews Speed 2 SLP combo great for light lure casting. Preforms way better than my same med/heavy St Crox.
Another thing about casting weightless baits is the shape of the bait also effects how the bait cast as well. A bait that's slim is much more aerodynamic than a bulky bait, which cast much smoother and farther.
Chasing Fish yea, very good point. Also things that have legs and such don't cast as well either. Thanks for the comment and taking the time to watch!
being that I am on a kayak 99% of the time the sweeping action is critical.. great tips!
Thank you, appreciate you watching. I could imagine that would be difficult in a kayak!
you can't over hand cast in a kayak because you have rods behind your head.. so sweep sweep sweep
Yankee Tanker Outdoors definitely makes sense, thanks for the comment!
@@YankeeTankerOutdoors I struggle with this as well when Im in the yak.
Helpful tips, thank you.
I hope they helped! Thanks for watching man!
I know this is an old video, but still prevalent today, I use a Halo 6' 10" KS 2 rated for 8-12# test , medium/light, fast tip, casting rod and running 12# Trilene Big Game mono, tossing 5"-6" Senko's or 6"-8" ribbon tail worms, on a 3/0-4/0 light wire hook ... works awesome !! the feel is amazing and hook sets are no problem. my reel is a Quantum S3 Energy 6.3:1 w/centrifugal ACS-3 braking system ... awesome setup , catches fish like crazy !!!
'
Very helpful!! Thank you so much!
Glad it helped man. Thanks for watching 👊
Thanks for the info. I had been looking at the BFS reels for casting light lures but this was good to know before I bought one.
I noticed you don’t mention the kastking products much in your recent videos. Any particular reason? I use their reels quite a lot.
That intro 10/10
NA NA thank you man, I really appreciate that. Thanks for watching!
Great video
Crimp a small split shot into the curve of the hook, kind of like a belly weight.
That's what i did with some of my lures lol. Only issue i ran into was i found that my lures wouldn't swim quite like they should
Wondering if you only use right hand reels? I converted over to left hand versions so that I am not having to keep switching the rod back and forth between my left and right during the cast and reeling process. Perhaps it is because I have used many spinning reels over the years also so I feel comfortable reeling with my left as well. Now it feels cumbersome when casting one of my right hand bait casters. Great info in your video.
Thanks
Thanks for watching my friend. I have a lot of people ask me that. It's just the way I learned. I actually have been using left hand reels and it feels pretty good for cast and retrieve baits. I prefer the right hand retrieve reels when I need a hard hookset.
great information I'm having a problem getting my side arm cast to work
Sup debo . Ty for?video. Ordered 2 combos still waiting. Want to learn as much as can. Ty tc
Great video thank you
Backing your reel with heavy braid helps also!... lightens up the spool more
4:24-4:30 I laughed so much harder than I should have at that but thats my kind of humor lmao
but how do you look for a reel like the one you demonstrated on with a light spool? great vid thank you!
Cheers Mate!
OK. You are obviously very knowledgeable. Your explanation was great. What I want to know is why even use the bait caster for this application? Why not use a spinning rod?
Bill Palmisano thanks again for watching. You definitely can use a spinning reel. But i only carry one spinning combo for finesse. I fish around a ton of heavy wood and vegetation and feel much more comfortable fighting those fish on a heavier casting setup. But you can most certainly throw it on a spinning combo. I throw my weightless baits on 15-20 lb fluoro.
Hey mate, I’ve just moved to the country in Australia, I’m used to salt water fishing, extremely new to fresh water fishing, I’ve just bought quite a few hard rattle lures, some spoon and crank lures, with my rattle lures would you suggest I setup a Carolina rig? I’ve thought about putting split shots a foot or two above the lures, any suggestions or ideas for the hard lures and cranks? I’ve got quite a few rubber and stink baits as well with weighted hooks
Chuck Hamilton that depends, what species are you targeting? Thanks for watching man!
Great video...thank you!
Well done. Thank you.
The thanks is all to you for watching! 👊👊👊
Nice breakdown keep up the awesome vids!💯💪👊LET'S GO!!!
ELITE BASS STICK thanks bro!
Very informative.
Awesome, I hope it helps a lot of folks out! Thanks for watching.
Like the learning video s alot
Great Video...
Thank you for watching!
awesome Video Debo. I personally grew up using Spinning rods since i'm from the North (North Dakota) its more of a tradition. But since I was like every other kid who was glued to the tv watching the pros I now use 90% bait casting setups. But when I throw a weightless senko I still revert back the the spinning rod. I love to skip senkos way back around cover. Do you find that skipping weightless baits a lot tougher with the bait casting setups??
Preston Outdoors once I get in the groove, no. I don't have to do it a ton so it takes me a little to dial in. I always go to a 6" bait if I'm skipping. The biggest thing is STAYING PARALLEL when casting. Also, don't set you tension too high or you will power cast/overcast and be sure to FOCUS exactly where you want the bait to hit. I'm really bad about that and it will throw off the skip all sorts. I'm no master at it but I'm going to keep working those. Thanks for taking the time to watch brother!
DEBO'S Fishing I see what you mean. Last year I tried hard to learn how to skip a jig around docks with a bait caster and had some success but not a pro by any means. But using a 5” senko on my spinning set up I’m very confident and pretty good at skipping that bait in tiny holes. And don’t have to worry about back lash
Preston Outdoors absolutely nothing wrong with using a spinning setup for that! It's less of a headache and you don't have to worry about a catastrophic failure. I'm not sure why there is such a stigma around spinning setups? A fish in the boat is a fish in the boat!
DEBO'S Fishing I know right? Growing up in the North I grew up with a spinning rod in my hand lol but it gets a bad rap from a lot of southern guys. I love using bait casting set up so I was just wondering if you had trouble with back lash or not
I use a Shimano Chronarch CH-200 loaded with 40lb J8 braid on a ten foot Shakespeare telescopic surfcaster to lob 2 inch goldfish dropshot lures (with no weight on them whatsoever) over my local river, the trick is to use that spool tensioner to prevent backlash, the rest is in the wrist.
Hey man I got a bait caster and I was thinking about using my spinning reel for all my soft plastics and leaving my bait caster for frogs ,toads, hardbaits ,spinner baits, and jigs. I though about using both since i can have two different style of rigs tied and when I get bored of one I use the other one
Yeah, that's a perfect way to do it man. Put a moving/ search bait on the baitcaster and use the stick bait on the spinning reel as a follow up!
DEBO'S Fishing thanks man and thanks for the videos😊🤟🏽
Great tips. I want to get my first baitcaster and was wondering if it matters what side the spinning handle should be on? . Like when I guide the line with my thumb. I'm right handed
Gene Villarreal no man, it's all personal preference. If you use your right thumb to press the thumbar and cast, it's more efficient with the handle on the left because you don't have to switch hands. But it's really what you're comfortable with!
DEBO'S Fishing thanks for taking the time to answer reply back. Your videos are extremely helpful. Definitely thinking about getting the stealth or assassin for my first one. Keep up the great work.
Gene Villarreal the thanks is all to you for watching! Have a good week my man!
Just found this vid, gonna try your tips soon.
I have numerous baitcasters, all the way from the starter ones to a professional type one. My most temperamental one is my Daiwa Tatula. Have you ever used this reel? I have had to respool it 3 x's now.
The Hook 13 My channel rebranded hey man. No, I only used a tatula once? It seemed like a decent reel from what I can remember?
I havent used it but from what I hear, it has one of the best braking systems in the market :P
I always fish braid and use a florocarbon leader. I use spider wire green 30lb braid on to 12lb seagar red label flourocarbon. Or sometimes I use mono cause it's cheaper depending on if I have to choose between line or gas 🤷 the budget fishing struggle
I like a medium rod with a light wire hook and my Abu Garcia black max. Great for weightless baits
