    The only reason I picked a baitcaster back up, is because of your three video lesson back in the day..... I currently have five baitcasters. Hands down the best instructional videos out there. 👍

    Hi Debo,
    I'm 44 years old. I'm from Germany. I started fishing round about 6 months ago, started baitcasting 2 months ago. It isn't easy to find german YT content about baitcasting. The mass of our fishers use spinning wheels only. Most of baitcasting anglers are newbies too. There's simply noone out there, who's growing up with this kinda stuff.
    It's sooooooooo helpful to see tutorials like yours right now!!!
    I guess, many years of experience are very helpful for teaching noobs like me to use gear properly! :D
    Thx a LOT, man! I appreciate your content more, than you could ever imagine!

    I spooled it with 8 LB test mono for lighter lures, gave it some practice casts and found that it did cast well ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxSlytCJqozTF7EbdP4LWP-HUXf9WRDJ0e , except that the anti-backlash setting had to be turned up almost all of the way to keep the "overcasts' ' down. I disassembled it, and found that if I potted some "shim washers" behind that anti-backlash magnet assembly, it got the magnets closer to the spool without rubbing, and I could get better control with about a 6 to 7 out out 10-Max setting. I also noticed that the handle shaft had some internal end play, maybe only 2 or 3 thousands of an inch, but it's still noticeable. If the anti-backlash and shaft tolerances were "tightened up" this would be a fantastic value. I've only used it for 4 days of fishing in a month's time, but I plan on keeping it.

    Using using tape to prevent backlashing the entire spool is the best tip. I've had success with the 3M Blue masking tape. Also use tape to hold the tag end to the spool when it's not in use.

    Berkley Big Game for beginners. Stuff comes on 1200 yard spools for ten bucks. Has a lot of memory, so every month or so you need to respool, but when you get the hang of casting and want to move to braid, you can use it as a backing to make your braid go further. I literally have had the same backing on one of my reels for four or five years now.

    In the dead of winter one year I ran across a Debo backlash- tip video. Seems like so long ago. But that one tip about there usually being only one lil loop section causing the problem, how to see it and pull it out... that little tip has saved me so many times. And I was certainly no Newbie when I watched the video.

    Honestly if you’re at Cabela’s or Bass Pro buying braid, just ask for the employees to spool the reel using the machine. It’s free of charge and while I can’t speak for every fishing department, but at the Cabela’s I work at,all of the fishing outfitters use the machine for their personal gear, and we take a lot of pride in spooling customer’s reels to the same standards as our own. However, not every fishing department is going to put in as effort as we do. As a general rule though, the smaller locations tend to have fewer staff which means more individual experience on the machine. If you’re not sure just ask if they use the machine for their own stuff.

    If your spool has holes in it like the one you have, you can run the braid through the holes before tying it to the reel and it will prevent it from slipping.

  • @bankfishinglife9797
    @bankfishinglife9797 3 роки тому +2

    Great tip! The shamano SLX is different they have holes just in the middle of the spool. Hard to get line through to the next hole to tie the line on the spool. I figure out just to stick the line in the hole and reel in. It will layer the line on top of one another then pray I don't get spooled by a big fish 😆

    Good vid! I like your spooling setup. I have this little gadget that attaches to my rod, you screw the spool onto it and can manage the tension just by tightening the screw. The only thing I don't like about it is that you have to clamp it to the rod, which always makes me a little nervous. Even though its just a little bit of plastic.

  • @hbarwickjr
    @hbarwickjr 3 роки тому

    Well done instructions. The tape trick definitely works. I recommend using clear Scotch tape on the spool to hold back those disastrous backlashes. I put the tape at half spool when spooling the new line, then at about the 3/4 mark. Last I have the tape with me when I go out and cast the 1st time and cast as far safely as possible. Then I pull of a few yards past where I would ever cast out line and put a piece of tape on each side of the lure. This trick I've used for years and has helped immensely. 🎣

    • @scottsoucy6186
      @scottsoucy6186 2 роки тому

      Just about any tape will leave a residue on your line. Take a tip from professional photographers and movie crews and get some gaffers tape. Similar to duct tape, very strong and durable but it will not leave any sticky residue.
