Thank you for this video.. been struggling with blow ups on my Penn mag4 reels for the past few weeks. Frustrating when I’m new to multiplier fishing. I mainly fish at night, so finding it difficult to make progress with casting. I’m going to set my Magnets full on until I’ve corrected my issue with casting ( been using 3 clicks off). 👍🏻

Excellent video Billy. Thanks for a very clear explanation.

Hopefully after a few goes I'll get the knack of it. Thanks again.

[@nicoleatwell7839]

What is a multiplier

[@Billyfishing_watch]

@nicoleatwell7839 Hi. it's a fishing reel with the line spool that spins horizontally, compared to a fixed spool. They are great for casting a long way 👍

[@nicoleatwell7839]

@Billyfishing_watch ...ok...in the states we have baitcaster, and spinning reels....that's the reason it was weird to me, what reel are you using currently.

[@trampster7306]

Catching up on a few of your back catalogue Billy! I started out with an old Milbro 12ft fibreglass rod that my old man got me back in the 70's. It got tatty so in the 90's went tackle shop hopping for a cheap replacement. Still got both! Man in the tackle shop said "The rod is around £30, but you can have it with a multiplier reel for £40". Summat like that. Rod was great but I couldn't get on with that reel no way, didn't help (I now know) that it had level wind. So I gave up with multipliers. Same with Braid - endless wind knots, so gave up with that! Oh, and I'm Left handed too! I'll stick with me Penn Surfblaster II & 15ft Vertix conti rod! 😁😁 Stay safe & well. 👍👍

[@Billyfishing_watch]

How is it going Brother, the only thing that matters is getting out there and fishing in my mind, still got my first rod and reel , no idea what the rod is , it was so long ago but the reel was a Abu 6500, with level wind, but took that off ,well you know why 😂🤣 stay safe, Trampster 👍😁

The lowered revolver reel position also allows for easier cranking on the retrieve.

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Yes it does, it was adapted from, South African big game shore angling. But most people are unaware of it. Thanks Brother 😁👌

[@rfdsrd]

@@Billyfishing_watch After 70+ years of surfcasting with a reel in the up position, it was a bit daunting to learn the down position reel but after a dozen or so tries I gotta say that without a doubt it's the best for reeling in line AND fighting a fishy. Methinks I'm getting a bit more distance on the heave, too, specially since all my casting is with the aerialized Hatteras. Got me the same rod belt as yers and revolver line retrieval has never been easier or better. Thank you Sir Billy!

[@Billyfishing_watch]

All of what you are saying, are the benefits of fishing with the reel in the low position. The whole left right hand chang, is what puts most people off. But there is no left right hand, in truth. And just like you say, a dozen or so casts. And you're on your way. 👌

[@DiddleDeets]

kudos rodfather!

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Thanks brother 👍😁👌

[@Mister0String]

Very well explained. Thanks for taking the time to explain the differences between fixed and multipliers too. I'm going to take your advice to the beach. By the way, what weight is the toy squid?

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Hi Paul, it's a 6oz toy squid 😁 and thank you Brother 👍😁

[@justvoteconservativedontth6812]

It’s a bit like a golf swing, weight on the back foot, forward heel off ground. First replant forward foot and turn legs, transfer weight to forward foot. Creates torque in the midsection for the pull/push. As in golf, taking a deep breath before the cast and releasing it on the cast helps for me.

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Nice 👍👌

Hi Scotty, if you contact me on massenger I will send you a link, and the reel seat is one that came with the rod , but it had no trigger. So I had some ABU gridlock reel seats, and just pulled the trigger off one of them and pushed it over the end of the sonik's reel seat, thanks brother 😁👍

Billy superb instructive vid here ... now I want to get back into beachcasting again can you give me advice on Rods and reels, I see great plays made on 3 piece continental rods. and there are many offers including combo offers now I do not want to pay silly pennies , but should I go 2 or 3 piece rod , f/x/sp or multiplier reels ???? my fishing will be beach fishing / river estuary ... I am totally flexible on equipment and advice Billy ? thx for your time

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Hi Albert. If you are not fishing on the extreme side of things. I would go for a continental 3 piece with a fix spool and 10 to 15lb 8 strand bread. But if you are fishing for something bigger 10lb plus, big eels, rays huss that sort of thing. I would go for a two-piece j curve rod fish extra distance 4-8 Oz beachcaster for a multiplier. I fish 40-50lb 4 strand braid. I have a video on the line setup just follow this link. Thanks brother fishing on 👍

Hi, is it essential to have the reel down low for otg Casts?

Hi Jon, if you want to cast well and far. Then yes, it not as hard as you think. You will get in a day. It's worth the effort, thanks Brother 👍😁

[@wesleywardable6083]

And, fighting fish is also more natural with the reel lower

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Yes it is, Wesley. And great for pulling big fish, the reel position was adopted from South Africa as well. Mostly in Europe, it's just because of casting. But I have landed some big fish, 50 kg sting rays with ease because of the reel position. Thanks Brother 😁👌

[@goosecreekrods3133]

What is your length from the butt to the middle of the reel seat? It looks much shorter than what I have seen in long casting rods.

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Hi there Goose, what part of the world are you from, because knowing will make it easyer to answer your question

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Ok , found your website, the position of the reel set has organs in South Africa for big game shore fishing, but in Europe, we have very stiff buts on some of the rods, J curve the blanks are called, and it's hard to cast them with the reel in the standard position as the action is seeded up, so the reel seat Is adjusted to the caster by sliding the seat to were they like it, hope this answers your question 😁👍
