3 HUGE TIPS To Master The BAITCASTER!!

[@thorarrace]

If you've ever caught a fish while cleaning out your backlash go ahead and smash that like button!

[@benjaminhenegar291]

That is my biggest fear haha

[@redwallet2348]

Had a bass hit my lure as I was pulling out the backlash. Finished the job for me!

[@thebronson3753]

I ended up just running in the opposite direction with my pole. It set the hook and retrieved the fish. My Fatass has never ran so fast in my life, all for a 1/2 lb bluegill.

[@martianmonster8789]

I got my first baitcaster a few weeks ago and took it out for the first time yesterday. Thanks to this video, I had minimal issues. A few backlashes here and there but overall I felt pretty confident after a few casts. I definitely need to practice accuracy and control, but that will come I’m sure. Thanks for all of your videos dude

[@terenceparrish6292]

I've been working on just making straight cast😮😮😮😮😮. I was able to ease off the brakes, but I sometimes forget testing my lure, if I change up. I saw on one channel where a guy put tape over the reel to keep his nephew from getting a backlash. As the boy got better, he would remove the tape to get more length. I never thought of that idea😊

[@crocskin]

I can't get any distance, not sure from the video what I'm doing wrong . Must be a late release. Not like my spinning reel.

[@jasonweatherby3113]

Using the fore finger on the retrieve is something I haven’t been doing, great advice, makes perfect sense. Thanks.

[@TylersReelFishing]

Glad you’re learning!

[@rickhalle-podell169]

Tyler , once again, thank you so much for an amazing video. This is the second time I’ve watched it. I picked up a bait caster from a friend who gave up, and I think the reason he gave up is because he didn’t watch your video and understand all the important, basic steps of setting up the rod and reel. I look forward to moving behind the spinning rod and seeing how this works. Thanks so much. I’m actually at a little local pond, practicing at the moment, watching the video at the same time.

[@TylersReelFishing]

Mann, thank you so much for this incredible testimony! So glad that my videos are helping you. Get your friend to watch, and maybe he will join you!

Thank you Tyler! This is exactly what I needed just picking up my first high end baitcaster! Love your stuff 👊

[@TylersReelFishing]

Great to hear!

[@hunterbull7804]

I like how Daiwa has their spool tension to where it has just a little side to side play. That’s how I setup all my reels whatever the brand. I think it’s better to use the magnetic brake rather than tension, because that puts more resistance on the line and your lure won’t go where your rod tip is pointed.

[@FiciousCritik]

Thank you sir, I'm still learning and ... UNlearning.

[@Mann272]

@@FiciousCritik leaving a bit of side to side play will allow for much longer casts

[@iceman5117]

Brakes are there to stop you from backlashing on the cast. Tension stops you from backlashing on the landing

[@ericrobillard-n7r]

i bought my first baitcaster yeasterday, trying to adjust things, few bad cast and than i got the thumb trick, no matter what lure i put on, i casted them far and quik. many small quick cast. this thing is awsome, so fun and i feel more connected with my rod. more control. i thought it will be more trouble to use this but it was less trouble 😂 i should have done this before

[@Floridafisherman5000]

What I do sometimes when I get a backlash, instead of pulling out more line, I walk backwards until the backlash is gone then I reel in my line tight, LOL Sometimes I have to walk backwards for alot of footage. Probably looks silly but hey , it gets my line back in the reel where it should be. Thanks for this excellent video Tyler!! Happy fishing Y'all!! Update: Thankfully I don't get that many backlashes anymore. Practice does help and I have tossed out my line alot over the months! LOL

[@IBenFishin]

Got my first bait caster 3 days ago OF CORSE IT WAS A LEWS!!!! And I’m absolutely in freaking love with it. Defiantly a huge difference from hearing that reel pealing line but thanks to your videos I only had 1 BAD backlash. After that it was smooth sailing caught my PB on my new baby today. Absolutely love it but I will say I can’t overhand cast only side cast, I’d love a video on how to flip cover/ skip docks

[@Tbeeson32]

I got mine 2 days ago, a lews mach smash..glad you like yours I absolutely hate mine. Flurocarbon wouldn't cast more then 20 feet, changed to mono and it backlashed every cast no matter how I set it. It ruined baitcasters for me I'm taking it back and getting another spinning reel

[@zd2426]

Hey man, I appreciate this video, Im fairly new to bait casters, and I did some research before hand, and I was doing everything properly, except using my finger to add tension to the line as I’m working my jig. I was getting really frustrated by getting frustrated by the consistent birdsnested but now I actually understand why that is and i can fix my technique. Good shit man.

[@sticks29pgm29]

Great tips Tyler. Never thought to use the index finger while reeling in loose line. I would always try to find a way to eliminate the loose line by turning my body or walking it out.

Best tip for beginners is putting braid with a leader , makes taking out backlashes 100 percent easier. Plus braid doesn't degrade with each backlash as with mono or fluoro that'll damage after bad backlashes

[@AmazingFishingAdventures]

Great video! Just a question, should you not keep your rod tip lower to avoid the fish jumping out and "unhooking" it self?

[@juli82E]

Great info! If I get a backlash I always put tension on the line holding it taught to my rod when reeling it back up kinda like when I'm spooling the reel. What about line conditioner? I used the lews on some fluro and that stuff is freaking awesome!!!!! Wanting badly to try it on some suffix braid I got and am having some backlash I wasn't with Berkley x5 and x9..

[@TylersReelFishing]

I have not used line conditioner. Might try soon

[@beerbuzz62]

Thanks Tyler,great video

[@ralphwaltrts5994]

Thank you so much for teaching me how to keep a tight line when reeling slack in on your reel. I never thought of placing my trigger finger on the real guide to control the tension. I do have a question, when do I set the break with the dial and when do I set the tension when setting up my reel in other words do I have the dial set on the highest number and then press the release to drop the bait and adjust the tension or do I have the dial set on zero then press the release to drop the bait and adjust the tension then adjust the dial I am so confused as to when I adjust each one could you please answer this question in a video or a personal message thank you so much for your tips excellent video I like your videos you don't waste any time getting to the point

[@kenneth9874]

Do your spool tension first for a controlled drop, if you're new to baitcasting reels start with your brakes on the higher side, with practice you'll be able to loosen them both a bit. If you're a spin fisherman forget about the flick cast and keep your thumb lightly on the spool adding pressure to slow down and stop the lure, it helps to slightly load the rod on the backcast

[@learningtofish7036]

Thank you Tyler.

[@TylersReelFishing]

No thank you!

[@QuikScopeGod]

Another big tip for after you backlash. After you pull out all the line to get it out, try to get the line spread out along your rod. I know I’m not the only one who has started reeling in all that line and it knotted up and I had to cut the line to get it out

[@TylersReelFishing]

[@georgepretnick4460]

Tyler, I understand you are trying to train tournament style bass fishermen. That's great. Not being a tourney enthusiast or being numbers oriented, I prefer to enjoy the fight more than you do. Water skiing a fish across the surface, then resuming casting in the same breath, well,,,,, seems like more of a job than fishing. Loved your marabou jig video with smallmouth. Now, that's more my style.

[@TylersReelFishing]

And we can have different fishing experiences! I’m just speaking on what I like

[@michaelchimenti4989]

Tyler, quick question. On a spinning rod, most people cast right-handed and reel the line in with their left, so the rod never changes hands. On a baitcaster, it seems that you have to transfer from your right to left hand after each cast. Is that proper technique?

[@theironfisherman9814]

Awsome video man You should come fish my pond its in the dfw area

[@TylersReelFishing]

Email me all about it! [e-mail]

[@shaartvader4830]

I tried first time about 15 years ago, nothing but problems. Cheap reels have really came along in that time. My advice to new users is have a new user set a sporting goods store set your reel up with flourocarbon line, it is really the most forgiving for modern baitcasters

Would you be able to cover how to actually cast the bait caster? When I try sidearm it goes 90 degrees to me in whatever direction the rod was moving but no backlashes. When I try over hand casting I almost always get a backlash. I have set up the reel how you showed and even have the magnetic brake cranked up to 9 or 10. Thanks for all the great videos.

Your problem is the brakes at 9 or 10. Also, your rod could be too stiff for the weight of lure you’re throwing

[@andyrobertson9685]

Okay, I’ve lost 2 spool tension knobs in as few fishing outings. How can I keep from dropping the knob where it can not be found? Walking to or from the truck to find my hole.

[@trevorandrew8726]

If your tension knobs are coming off you may be fishing too light of a lure/rig. These types of issues are why people will fish weightless finesse rigs with spinning reels, because it's where the baitcaster really falls apart. It's doable for sure but if you're having to have a completely loose spool tension, it's time to pull out a spinner

[@jemstone80phone49]

Get an open face or a spin casting reel to avoid ALL these head aches. You will be able to cast further and not have to adjust ANYTHING every time you change lures, not to mention most bait casters are made to reel right handed so if you cast right handed you have to change hands to reel.

[@TylersReelFishing]

Once you learn how to use it, a baitcast reel is a much more efficient piece of equipment and it’s not even close. Don’t get stuck in your ways my friend

[@mattc9811]

I'm right handed, but I got a left handed baitcaster a few years ago. This switching hands after casting business is silly, there's no reason for it and I feel much better controlling the rod in my dominant hand like I have done my entire life with spinning rods.
