I bought my first baitcaster watching your videos DEBO!!!

[@dosadosa112]

I spooled it with 8 LB test mono for lighter lures, gave it some practice casts and found that it did cast well kzbin.infoUgkxSlytCJqozTF7EbdP4LWP-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.

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!

[@tdeeb6359]

Welcome to the DEBO Family of Dink Catchers !! 😄 I’m kinda in the same situation, I live surrounded be water, but I can’t find anyone to help me. Maybe because I tell them I’m 2 months away from 69!!!!!🥲😄😄🥲🤣🥲 Tight lines, Pete

I must have spooled up my setups over 100 times now and still found this helpful. Thanks man.

[@markphilippsjr]

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. 👍

[@DEBOSFishing]

Thank you so much man!

[@johnnytorino9455]

I just watched and I agree.

[@twiggsherman3641]

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.

[@brianmetzger745]

It doesn’t matter how many times you spool a bait caster hearing these tips are always good! Once again Debo excellent video 👊🏻👍🏻

[@alford79]

The tape trick is something i never heard of. Thank you sir.

[@MrBigbadbuck]

I have used that forever or at least since I can remember and it works really well.

[@topwaterwes2339]

Older vid yes, but I just got my first baitcaster and who other to come to than Debo to learn to spool! Let's Go!!

[@danluther1741]

Spooled dozens of baitcasters hundreds of times & still managed to screw it up last time! Timely vid!! Thanks!

[@Mike-DD214]

Great tip with the tape! Electric tape leaves a residue after some time, use blue painters tape 👍🏼

[@sithmastermickey8570]

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.

[@josephnywayfarer1345]

Glad to see you showed the direction the line should come off the spool. I live by line should come off the top of the spool for baitcasters, bottom for spinning reels. Great tips, I use all of them.

[@pacman_17]

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.

[@dizzlesfeeshin8966]

I think my biggest issue is cutting myself short, I always use the line spooling device I have. I forget to add enough on to run the line on the pole. It doesnt feel like a lot when you put 100 yards on a reel. That 7foot plus is more more than you think.

[@Fishing-wj7qj]

Dude. I have learned so much from watching you talk us through things!! Keep it up man!

[@pcheek68]

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.

[@chrismcvey908]

I love videos like this. I don’t consider myself an expert nor a novice but I definitely picked up a few good pointers from this. Excellent job my brother! 👊

[@DEBOSFishing]

I'm no expert either, just trying to do what I can to help!

[@michaeldiaz6308]

Papa Debo still taking us to school. Never get tired of watching these how to viDebo’s. Learned how to adjust my first baitcaster watching these videos. Hope we can see more of these, sir!

I corrected my mistake lol

[@Ruggedjellyfishing]

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.

[@jpboy1399]

Thanks Debo! All your information is greatly appreciated, thanks for taking the time to share.

Great ViDebo! I’ve never considered taping the spool to minimize line loss before! 💡 thanks for all you do! 🤙

[@petefasel]

I love the box idea to hold the line! That will make it much easier.

[@HubertKirchgaessner]

Excellent advice, thanks!

I have one of those cheap suction cup base reel spoolers you can get on Amazon. I broke a rod, so I took off the base of the spooler, cut the rod down to about 2.5 feet, and attached the spooler to the rod. Works perfect.

[@KennyVengeance]

Im going to do the tape after a good long cast. thx Debo!👌🏼😄

[@bankfishinglife9797]

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 😆

[@jessegross1269]

I have never had good luck with p line and don't know why ! I really like power pro or seaguar and few others ... great video , you showed me things I didn't know thanks bro !!

[@HawkFishingandOutdoors]

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.

[@willjunkin732]

What is your thoughts on running the line thru the whole and tie it. Instead of going around the spool. Great information. Congrats on the 100k again.
