93.6% Of All Anglers Set Their Baitcast Reel Drag WRONG…

[@scottmiller5975]

Final update: this little reel is the little engine that could kzbin.infoUgkxSlytCJqozTF7EbdP4LWP-HUXf9WRDJ0e . It performed flawlessly and was easy to adjust drag in the moment while I was battling a 35lb bat ray behemoth. Mind you, this reel is spooled with only 25 lb braid and 25 mono topshot. It's paired with the kastking telescopic heavy power rod and the two work well together. This has now earned my respect and confidence when traveling and fishing. If you have ever hooked into large rays and sharks, you know they pull extremely hard and can run forever! This thing clamped down on the fish and was easy to adjust during the fight. It has a nice decently fast retrieve as well. Twice the fish went on mad runs and I was able to gain back line quickly to avoid spooling.

Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. I missed a couple holders this past weekend because the drag was set to loose.

[@corymeyer1162]

thanks for the tips. any chance you can show us some basic reel maintenance? you mentioned keeping the drag lubricated. thanks

[@peteuk1988]

I’ve always relied on the drag. The use of the thumb bar instead of the drag is a great tip.

[@lightning2849]

Thank You Randy ! Glad you covered this !

[@Chillin24Seven]

Broke my musky pole cause too much drag. Was my new PB so got excited. Didn’t thumb it and it ran under the boat and I wasn’t able to keep my rod from hitting the side of my boat. Was able to get it in the net tho. 48 1/2 inches!!

[@af4od02]

I always forget to loosen the drag on my reels at the end of the day. You can practice the thumbing technique with smaller bass also.

[@Chillin24Seven]

I have the opposite. Forget to tighten it up. First cast and can’t even bring the lure in lol

[@johnmcdaniel2536]

93.6%! I love it. So specific. I did learn a little something though. Thanks for the videos Randy. I’ve been fishing nearly 50 years and always pick something helpful up.

[@gregstabryla9945]

Really good stuff there Randy. Especially about storing with the drag all the way off. I prefer thumbing myself.

[@eddieboswell6068]

How do you set the spool pressure?

[@trickytrav88]

Im going to try using my thumb more often and see how it goes. Thanks Randy

[@tagwatson360]

Excellent tips! 93.6% 😂Well played!!!

[@joelunder7479]

Randy what are your top 3 baitcaster rods? What are your 3 favorite baitcaster reels?

[@CS-wp5dz]

Love your videos. Always enjoy them. Also what I love is the way you talk I can put the playback speed at 2X the normal speed and hear it all clearly. 3.5 min video is perfect every time instead of 7 mins 👍🏽😂😊

[@joelunder7479]

Thanks Randy!!

[@Sporophore_Hunter]

Hey Randy! What do you think of BFS? I just got my first bfs reel and I'm so excited to try new finesse techniques!

[@KAONANAONA]

You can sort of adjust your drag to the bait by increasing the rod angle to the fish. When your rod is pointed at the fish the easier the fish can pull drag, as you increase the rod angle away from the fish the harder it is to pull drag.

[@kabanchan5768]

Can you repair or replace drag ?

[@mjpat8]

Randy you are a wealth of knowledge, thanks for all these great videos.

[@randyblaukatintuitive]

Thanks Michael I appreciate that

[@tcliveaction]

Lol the the title. 93.6% lol I laughed out load love the videos man keep them.coming. super thankful for your channel.

[@randyblaukatintuitive]

👍

[@rippinlipsinc.2200]

93.6....... Algorythm nightmare....... Great radio station.... Great pick 3 number... I usually with my baitcasters keep my drag tight.. Gives better hook penetration. Loosen up if a GIANT....

[@clintperry799]

Thanks (✅) I never knew pro use the thumb bar as a drag.

[@hillbillybassfisherman8181]

i learn to fish without a drag as kid dad bought me straight gear 8 0 8 i had to wind backwards not to break them off or straighten the hook.Dad was teaching me to bass fish keep control of the bass so when i did hook a big one it wouldnt just pull drag an tangle me up in the tree or whatever she try to get to in order to get off.Dad an his best friend camp every weekend an bass fish is how i know so much about bass fishing an my friend dad made his own custom lurers why i have a 13x13 room slam full of lurer making things i got more than any company has an i never sell them cause i dont want nobody have what i do an i cant just sell lures to people i dont have trust in myself.i been making few short video an say everyone i get 1000 subscribers i show the lurer i caught record fish on.i caught 7 i just have caught state record spotbass

[@larrybrown4544]

I think it's 92.4% Randy 😆 Best channel on KZbin!! Keep up the great content!

[@randyblaukatintuitive]

Lol thx man

[@jonahlawrence6204]

Great tip thanks RANDY 😊

[@ronniemitchell9221]

Great info...!

[@IllusionFootball]

Thanks for Nice tip❤

[@dhjhawk]

Great tips! Thanks!

[@captnse]

Very enlightening, Randy, about your usage of your baitcasting reel’s thumb bar for fighting a fish……Do you wind your spinning reels in reverse to let a big fish run, or do you rely solely on your spinning reel’s drag ?

[@randyblaukatintuitive]

I never use a drag on a spinning reel I always back real

[@tcliveaction]

I watch Brian latimer as well. He does the same thing with the drag he says he locks it down as well

[@ernstcoetzer809]

93.6.......u say... wow how did you get that number Randall??

[@martymooney8099]

Great content sir as usual... 🤘🤘✌🖖

[@ricksonora6656]

Coincidentally, 93.6% of all statistics on the internet are made up. (I love Randy’s sense of humor. 😅)

[@nills2gills811]

This is that 6.4%

[@1MoreCast]

Good stuff!

[@eastguntucky9268]

93.6 sounds like a radio station lol

[@pathallock7868]

Odd how drag settings for baitcasters is so different to spinrods. I learned on spinrods to set the drag about 75% of line rating. Never thought of that for baitcasters. Usually have mine just short of locked down. Same line on both. Lubricating the drag? Does'nt sound right, but willing to try it. Why? Cuz Randy says so!! Listen and learn youngins!!!

[@Local.Hammer82]

I love those reels

[@johnlantz7278]

After all this I let them go immediately with a thank you an a smile that’s the rewarding time for me.release me please so we might meet again .

[@jimt1240]

That's the way we "anglers" do it

[@slickline4576]

Snapped a UL rod while crappie fishing on the bank 3+ lb large mouth had drag locked (forgot ) BTW fish hit a Beatle spin...LOL

[@wolverinex4243]

To be truthful, the drag on baitcasters aren't great. Luckily, the power helps.

[@BattleBornBrandon]

Where'd you get the 93.6% figure!? Lol

[@rpredl]

Sometimes slippage is good!

[@Bottomfeederonfire]

96.3% of all anglers exaggerate their PB weights.

[@terrytresemer2864]

I never lock down my drag. If I were to run a fowl with a spook and a jet ski, I don't want to go waterskiing! I say that in complete honesty. How it got hooked is a guess and the butt hole probably found it when he trailered his PWC. I hate PWC's!!!!

[@stevenpressley5956]

Awesome information that gets way too little attention.

[@randyblaukatintuitive]

Yeah it’s hard to grow a KZbin channel getting started as late as I did. Most of those guys that have a big channel got started like 10 years ago

[@jesustorrez4520]

cool

[@bloodybonescomic]

93.6% eh?

[@garydrichard5559]

Hahahahaha!

[@allenfellows8082]

So...Ol Harry's method of cranking down drag with pliers to fish scuppernong Jelly Worms was WRONG ???? 🤪🤪🤪🤪 yeah...I know...showing my age 🤏

[@randyblaukatintuitive]

Harry and Charlie was my favorite!

[@nnamrehck]

93.6% LOL!

[@jesseboyden3119]

My man getting accurate with it. 93.6% lmao

[@shugzkeckley1006]

All baitcast drags suck I use my thumb

[@ps7462]

93.6% eh! survey says: XXX

[@FortunaFavetFortibus38K]

93.6%? Are you sure, Randy?

[@jaythorne5208]

93.6.....UR FUNNY

[@jsnmart97]

Anyone want to buy my boat and all my gear and tackle, package deal? ! Seriously

[@bigmike19]

Whatcha got

[@gabrielduarte3904]

free spooling and backreeling??🤦‍♂ i'll stick to the lures/bait tips and advice..

[@MrHabitat009]

Don’t be a drag queen yall

[@deangruwell6555]

Seriously this whole b.s 90% of all anglers do wrong thing is total B.s .. how do you know .. did you take a poll 🙄🙄 it’s such a turn off I’m unsubscribing from all that pull this click bait stunt

[@randyblaukatintuitive]

Maybe you should pay more attention to the content of the video and less to the title

[@trapin68]

I’m considering unsubscribing from your channel because all your content is focused on Largemouth Bass. Nothing on Smallmouth.
