Is it just me or is a weighted senko not a light bait?
The lure in the video is not weighted. That said, many bass anglers throw unweighted Senkos on spinning gear because it's difficult for them to throw with baitcasting outfits. Hence the reason for this video.
But even though a Senko is used in the video instead of a fly, the principles taught in the video remain the same and are applicable for lures lighter than a Senko. So pay less attention to the actual lure used, and focus on the techniques taught instead.
Thanks!
@@bassresource well put
I was using just a Yamamoto senko on a worm hook weightless today no problems. Great cast! Had a terrible birds nest on a very light lure.
Unweighted senkos are not light in my book.
@@account2292 agreed. I birdnested on a very light floating lure, but the senko worm had just enough weight to cast it no problems!
I've got 50 years of fishing under my belt, and these videos are a refresher course for me, sometimes we forget the simple things and a reminder is all it takes to get another fish in the boat, thanks for info even if we forget we already knew how to do it
Awesome. Thanks for the feedback TOS BlackDeath!
I've always had issues casting lightweight baits. Thanks for the tips here. Good stuff!
This vid has some good info! Keep up the good work!
Sir whats the casting lure for baracuda and mackerel
And whats best lure for casting for every fish
Who is this guy commenting
@@shahreyarfaridi925 there is none
Glenn,
Your videos are always instructive, clear, and helpful.
I'm a 64-year-old BassHole who just started using a baitcaster in the past 2 weeks. Good to know I can throw a lighter lure with one, and how to do so!
Keep the tips coming! (My favorites are still how to avoid getting hooked with hard baits -- hold the bait first -- and how to get unsnagged using a bow and arrow technique).
Roger, The Smiling BassHole
WOW! Thanks for the support Roger, and thanks for watching!
This video has made me realize I've been hucking light baits way too fast. Looking forward to trying again with these tips
This video was just in time for me. I recently bought two nice bait casting rods and I've been cleaning outbird nets all week. So now i'm ready to go fishing again soon. Thanks so much.
Glad to help, Victor Dickson. Let me know how it works out as I would love to see the results.
Good video! I had a stroke. I am learning to cast properly again. Your videos have been a lot of help.
Dang Brother... Hang in there and God speed on your rehabilitation... Prayers Prayers Prayers and more Prayers my friend. Be safe out there and best of luck!
Wow, that's awesome. Glad we can help. Hope you're getting better.
Thanks for the tips! I've always had problems casting light lures using bait casters and really the major reason why I primarily use spinning gear. Thanks for the chance to win the Rage package!
Glenn. A big THANK YOU for this video. I kmow that this video is old given thst we are now in 2022. I was sooo frustrated with a baitcaster Lews Smash MedHeavy Fast-action 6’6” combo rod. Birdnesting was a common issue and almost gave up on my baitcaster ( was going to sell it). Taking advice of lowering the brake and loosen spool tension, My casts are now like 75 to 125 feet with a plastic swimbait. My eyes popped out in excitement. No more need to muscle my casts. A flick of the wrist and the “whip” effect of the rod did the trick. THANK YOU THANK THANK YOU
Nice! We love to hear feedback like this. Thanks for being a loyal viewer!
this works its just hard to break the old habit of really slinging the bait out there
You know you have a dirty mind when you're just listening and not watching but you cant stop laughing.
Thanks for this video. I typically throw lite lures with a spinning reel, but prefer the baitcaster reel. Thanks for this tip.
I've needed this video for a while. I'll update after I make adjustments!
Glad to help, Richard Long. Let me know how it works out as I would love to see the results.
Sir, you have informed me ALOT about light gear now. I had no idea the type of rod can really effect the cast. I thought it was all technique and casting style. Love this videos tips!
Great! Let me know how you do!
Double thumbs up. Great video, thanks! Can’t wait to apply it
Glad you liked it tealbluewhite!
Thanks for the tip about not havin' to throw the bait hard! I'll be tryin' to lighten the throw a bit this fishin' season!
Great! Let me know how you do!
As someone who is learning how to fish with bait caster this is very helpful thanks !
Finally, the secret is out! I have been using a baitcaster to throw light lures for years. I have an old Berkley light action rod with a pfluger reel and 8# mono line. You can get them dialed in to throw am 1/8 oz spinner or crank bait a good distance. Great combo for those days when the bass are picky and you have to finesse things a bit! Best rule, don't try to kill it on the cast!
Yes, absolutely Ratdog 305! Thanks for watching!
Turning off the mag control is new to me. I did figure out the line length thing but i backlashed all the time because I was flinging it too hard! I come here to comment so I can win the contests but as it turns out, the videos are extremely useful.
Kenneth Van Dyken, glad I can help. Thanks for subscribing as well.
Usually I go with a spinning rig for light lures, but I'll give this a try with a baitcaster. Thanks.
Thanks for watching Dewayne Atwell!
just got an baitcaster i have to learn about using it.this video will help me to learn more about the baitcaster. use in fishing for bass.
Most reels are capable of casting a weightless senko style bait. Biggest thing is having a rod that loads with whatever weight lure you are using. The reel and line come into play after that. With the sub 3/16oz stuff, a BFS reel is ideal.
Great tips here. I have never messed with my magnetic controls. I guess I will now. Thanks!
Or for those who can't resist holding there arm, use a long smooth sweep backswing moving ur bait smooth as if ur fly fishing...the set up of the bait caster is the same...definitely going to try ur way. Awesome video!!
Hi fallingironreks83. Thanks for the feedback and support. I look forward to hearing more from you.
Thank you so much for ur help in helping me learn how to cast a baitcaster now I'm going to bass pro shop and buy me two more thank you plz keep up the great work
Thanks for the info on casting light lures.
You're welcome Michael Barquin! Thanks for watching.
thanks for these tips... I just got a baitcaster and struggled with this... spent a lot of the day digging out birdsnests...
Glad it helped!
Just bought a small spool finesse baitcaster so this video is very timely. The tip about leading some line before casting was great technique advice.
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching.
Always good info from Glen. He boosts up my confidence after a few videos I'm ready to go rip some lips🎣👍
Thank you sir, just when I was fixing to throw my bait caster away I actually came across this video and now I'm casting alot better
Great to hear!
Great tips today. Will start using these next trip
Hi pzrtek, glad I could provide value. Which one of them did you find most helpful?
Great tip to prevent backlash and cast far. Backlash can take the fun out of fishing. I guess you could say you help put the fun in fishing.
Hi fshng2fish. Thanks for the feedback and support. I look forward to hearing more from you.
I've used this tip occasionally when fishing for massive spring smallies, but for the most part I would normally just opt for a medium-light or medium powered spinning rod depending on the bait I'm throwing.
I hate spinning reels so I'm willing to perfect this
Good info on using light bait and adjusting reel tension , rod size and use wrist to cast instead of arm.
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching.
Just got a medium rod and was getting frustrated with how poor it casted compared to my entry level light rod... Will try this next time. Great video!
You can do it!
Simple tips that help alot. Thanks!
Tried casting a marabou jig with a baitcaster after this... helped a lot! thnx!!
Brendan Keleher, glad I could help. Let me know which tips helped the most. Looking forward to hearing much more from you.
The fast action tip and turning the magnetic control all the way off. Using the rod tip to fling the bait instead of arm power was the key for me
Good vid. This is definitely one of those moments where less is more. The less force you use to cast this out, the more distance you'll actually get!
Glad you liked it Lekan Oyefeso!
i have had problems in the past casting light lures and this video should definately help
Glad to help, Thomas Pajor. Let me know how it works out as I would love to see the results.
this video will help me alot because I do fish ponds alot and sometimes it does help to use bait casters with small lures cool video will try the paper under the arm trick
Great video ... thank you
thank you for the idea with the paper I have been having trouble with small lures
Pete Topa, glad I can help. Thanks for subscribing as well.
yes thanks will definitely get it tuned in better next time out.
Good to knowI now know why I wasn't getting desired distance with light weights. Thank you
Thanks for watching Mark Dever!
Excellent advice for light weight fishing gear.
Great info I am gonna give it a go.. Thanks
Excellent video. Always having trouble with light lures. Will give your reco a shot for sure. Thx
shadi samaan, glad I could help. Let me know which tips helped the most. Looking forward to hearing much more from you.
BassResource - Bass Fishing Techniques thanks
First I got myself the right rod like you mentioned (Abu Garcia blackmax 3 combo 6.6 fast action 2pieces rod)
Secondly, will put at min the magnetic breaks. (Had them at max lol)
Thirdly, will use the wrist and keep my arm to my side (very very difficult and takes lots of practice)
Wish me luck lol
THanks for this video again
I just bought a new baitcast reel and this video gives some ideas I will definitely put into practice when learning to cast properly. Thanks!
Glad to help, Loren Houle. Let me know how it works out as I would love to see the results.
Very good video with easy to understand directions. Thanks
Hi Greg Vincent, glad I could provide value. Which one of them did you find most helpful?

Great! Let me know how you do!
Recently purchased a rebel wee crawfish. And got upset that i got a huge birdnest. I have not had birdnest in a baitcaster in years! Soo ill deff have to apply these tips!
I'm going to try this. I usually use my spinning rod because I have so much trouble casting light lures with my bait caster. Great video as usual.
Great! Let me know how you do!
Thanks for the awesome tip Glenn! I can't wait to give it a try the next time I am out.
Great! Let me know how you do!
nice, would like to see more casting how to videos and a full explanation on how to setup a casting reel for multiple lures.
Here ya go! ua-cam.com/video/-DFWS9tvfRo/v-deo.html
I have tried throwing light lures with my baitcaster in the past and really struggled with it. Hopefully using some of these tips will help me next time!
Bradley Stumm, glad I could help. Let me know which tips helped the most. Looking forward to hearing much more from you.
Finally a good explanation and worth the time watching it. I'm tired of watching videos that don't help
Hi Ohh Plurism. Thanks for the feedback and support. I look forward to hearing more from you.
Learned from this video..can't wait to practice
Glad to help, Richard Cooper. Let me know how it works out as I would love to see the results.
Man I love your reviews and stuff.
I've really learned a lot on this one. Thanks Glen I see I need to practice more. Keep up the good info
Thanks for the support, Stan Boerner, and thanks for watching!
Great video Glenn nobody ever addresses setting up the bait casting reel for light lures. Thank you!
James Clouser, glad I could help. Let me know which tips helped the most. Looking forward to hearing much more from you.
I have been doing this for years. GREAT info. I would suggest that you use a high quality baitcast reel. Thanks
That’s a good tip as well, mrsheagy6. Thanks for sharing.
This is great because my fishing goal this year is to learn how to properly and effectively use a bait caster. Really looking forward to practice this on the water.
Phillip Silva, glad I can help. Thanks for subscribing as well.
Great video. I just about gave up baitcasters for light lures & went totally to spinning. Now I need to practice!
Yep, practice is all it takes!
I never thought of leaving more line between the tip of the rod and the bait on the cast. I will have to go try that!
Glad to help, Adam Fitzgerald. Let me know how it works out as I would love to see the results.
Gonna have to try out turning off the magnetic control! Thanks
I've been struggling with this for a little while. Thanks for the tips
Glad you covered that. I usually use a spinning reel for small lures but this gives me another option. Thanks!
Glad you liked it Michael Soileau!
I have the Duckett Triad 7'3 MH paired with the abu garcia pro, I absolutely love this set-up for casting very light soft plastic rigs, I did have to adjust cast control and my brake so that I could cast these very light rigs! ty for the insight, fantastic videos!
Hi david carlisle. Thanks for the feedback and support. I look forward to hearing more from you.
Good pointers, as always. Sometimes we forget that the rod's action can be your friend (or enemy) when trying to cast light stuff. It takes getting control of your rod , as well as your reel. Thanks for the tips Glenn... keep'em coming.
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching.
Great Video, much needed help to me
good idea deferentially going to try.
great tip about casting light lures!
Hi Roger W, glad I could provide value. Which one of them did you find most helpful?
Thanks for the tip. Been having a little difficulty casting light baits. Gonna try it.
Great tips. One of the traps that fall into when casting is thinking that I didn't cast as far as the guy I was watching in the video. I am lured into trying to cast farther but swinging harder only to backlash. I think that the videos just make the cast look very far; like the writing on a side view mirror, "Objects are closer than they appear." I appreciate the review on setting the spool tension. I had always set mine so that the lure would fall slowly and stop t the floor with the spool stopping immediately. This always felt to tight.
Edward English, glad I could help. Let me know which tips helped the most. Looking forward to hearing much more from you.
Agreed, counterintuitive. Looks like a lot of practice ahead for me. Thanks!
Great! Let me know how you do!
great tips Glen I'm guilty of trying to launch light baits. I'll take it a bit easier next time.
Nate Cassera, glad I can help. Thanks for subscribing as well.
the part about throwing lightly is interesting some thing i will try.
never thought about turning the magnetic brake off either you learn something new everyday great video
John Bogaczyk, glad I can help. Thanks for subscribing as well.
Another great video Glenn! You are my "go to" for techniques and advice. Keep 'em coming buddy!
Thanks for the feedback Mark Aston! I appreciate it.
Using extra length at top to create a whip like effect is a great idea. I'm going to try it!
Glad to help, jlayman0270. Let me know how it works out as I would love to see the results.
All of these videos are full of great information, I love the paper trick as it trains you to do it correctly. thank you
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching.
thanks glen, this video almost makes want to buy a bait caster. tried to use bait casters in the past, but end up getting frustrated and just pick up my spin rig. great tips as always. thanks again
Do it. Once you master a BC, you don't wanna go back
That was good info. I try to throw it hard and I get backlash. Will practice this. Thanks!
Going to have to try this next time I'm on the water. Usually just use a medium power spinning combo for light lures.
Funny how half the tip vids say use your whole body and twist, and others say only use your wrists lol I find I do a little better using mostly my wrists. Once I realized I could easily over power my casts with just wrist, I started to get longer casts with less power. Good vid!
Dustin Hutchison, glad I could help. Looking forward to hearing much more from you.
Light cast, I see my problem , I always to try to tighten up my reel so I can hard cast it. I will practice this way.
Thanks
Great! Let me know how you do!
Well I did not cast very far, but it is a work in progress, I do see where this does help .
Again Thank you
Same man!
very good info on how to adjust a bait casting reel..thank you
I enjoy all of the videos, you explain in detail so that the technique or situation is easy to try. Thank you and tight lines James C
Hi James Clouser. Thanks for the feedback and support. I look forward to hearing more from you.
Awesome video I learned a lot from it thanks
thanks for the BAITCASTING info - not often addressed !
Another good video Glen. Thanks.
Dusty Kinley, glad I could help. Let me know which tips helped the most. Looking forward to hearing much more from you.
I don't like using the magnetic breaks at all. I just hold my spool and wiggle it side to side to check for any play. I like the spool spinning as fast as it can go. Like you said it makes it a lot easier to cast even with heavier lures. When you cast hard after about 15 hours of fishing it wears you out. But I do have problems casting light lures.
Hi griffinwm. Thanks for the feedback and support. I look forward to hearing more from you.
This guy always has simple and practical tips.
Nice! We love to hear feedback like this. Thanks for being a loyal viewer!
I'll have to give it a try. casting light lures has been a problem for me.
definitely trying
Thank you for the tips.
Our pleasure!
I like the idea that I can cast with a bait caster. Leaving the line out a little more, look forward to trying it.
Great! Let me know how you do!
This is something I've always been curious about. Tons of help. Will be doing this soon!
The Largemouthed Angler, glad I can help. Thanks for subscribing as well.
Awesome video, Glenn. I often battle casting a light lure with my casting gear. I use medium heavy rods but will go back to my medium powered rods with your casting technique. I can clearly see your advice working. Tight lines brother.
Glad to help, Verner van Schalkwyk. Let me know how it works out as I would love to see the results.
