Buying My First Baitcaster!! & Fishing With It

I decided that it was time to take the leap! I've always used spinning rods/reels but I wanted to upgrade my arsenal and try out a baitcasting rod and reel! I've never used a baitcaster before so this was definitely an interesting experience!
Thank you all for showing so much support! We're almost at 1,000 subscribers! Craziness! Special video coming out at 1k! Lets keep this rolling!
Setup:
►Rod: Abu Garcia Vendetta
www.cabelas.com/product/ABU-GA...
►Reel: Shimano Casitas 151hg 7:2:1 gear ratio
www.cabelas.com/product/SHIMAN...
►Line: Berkley Trilene XL 12 lb
Cut me some slack! I am extremely new to this kind of reel haha. I'm sure there are still many more birds nests to come. Tight lines yall.

Dude, you caught fish and fun doing it. Don't give a second thought to what all these little girls on here are saying. I thought you did awesome for your first time throwing a baitcaster. Even the pros backlash their rigs. When I was learning I went ahead and bought two spools of the cheapest line I could find because I knew I was going to backlash it so bad.

[@unkownunkown7511]

I'm still getting used to my baitcaster and getting pretty good at it. I find that overhead casting will typically give you a bird's nest. Side casting is smoother and results in a farther cast

[@EclipseGamingVideosHD]

I'm pretty much in the same boat, I've learned that if you accelerate too quickly on your cast that it will back-lash. You can cast however hard that you want, but you need to be smooth.

if you look at earlier on in the video before he get's comfy with the birds nest's the line actually was through the hole, my guess is the angler took it out to get comfy casting baitcaster as they seem to take practice to get comfy with em and expected more bird nest's.

[@CristiNeagu]

Him: "Oh no, bird nest again" Me, an internet expert, having never used a baitcasting reel, but having watched several videos: "Need more drag."

[@IckyEmporerfishing]

Drag has nothing to do with it, he needs to put through the guide. He also needs to adjust his magnetic brakes and his line tension

[@IckyEmporerfishing]

Drag has to do with when you have a fish on your line if you have low drag more line comes out and more it just stops

[@CristiNeagu]

this is my favorite video out of all youtube fishing videos. it shows actual learning. you did better than i did when i first started out

[@ThatOtherRaccoon]

It's important to set up the reel before casting with it if you want to avoid those rat's nests. A sidearm cast is also preferable with this type of setup. It's been 2 years so I'm confident that by now you're good.

[@haden_uglee9496]

FirstStateFishing try to thread your line in the hole on the baitcaster you will cast farther and less backlashes

I use thumb control and super loose breaks. If u can get the hang of that u don't have to change settings between luers and can get some mad distance.

Dude you did so good for the first time using a baitcaster when i tried to use one I couldn’t even get it out 3ft but you did really good and keep up the good work

[@seanroehrs8081]

If anyone hasn't said it yet, the one thing that changed my casting and how much I bird nested was learning to stop the spool with my thumb right before the bait hits water. Also, u may feel the line try to birdnest mid cast, DONT STOP IT, 9 times out of ten it will correct itself before it hits the water.

[@superb9151]

Or if I feel the spool starting to nest I’ll pull the rod tip back , and the line will catch up.

[@synaptik111]

Great job for your first time. I'm gonna be trying a baitcaster myself pretty soon and I hope that I do close to as well as you did!

[@acepharmer]

I inherited a bait casting rod and reel from a friend that passed away. I’ve been trying to learn how to use it and it’s been nothing but frustration. I’m gonna keep at it and I’ll catch up to your level eventually

[@bass4dayz254]

I don't know why everyone is complaining so much, yes I know the line wasn't through the line guide but I think that using mono was a good idea because braid is hard to get out of a backlash and it's pricy, and baitcasters aren't exactly that easy to use when you first get them.

[@znovosad555]

I'm still new to my baitcaster and I had less problems with mono. Think I'll switch back to mono even though I just spent like $8 on braid that's spooled on. I've spooled it like 3 times with the same line and I don't even need to cast it. It keeps tangling itself.

When you first started using your baitcaster did you set up your reel brakes first?

[@westcoastoutdoors2985]

just a suggestion...if you keep your thumb on the spool while your reelingvin i helps keep the line tight to the spool so you dont have as much loose line and a little bit extra weight always helps when your learning to cast a baitcaster hope that helps and great video!

5:18 when i got my first baitcaster, this was that moment in time that I realized I spent hundreds on a rod/reel that I can't cast, and birdnests almost ever cast. I turned my ass around, returned it and bought the nicest spinning rod/reel for the money and never looked back. Granted I know with practice you overcome a baitcaster. But I'd rather spend the money on a system that works and I get instant gratification and joy using. I'll stick to spinning reels

[@longpointfishmaster947]

lol. i have many nice spinning reels, but since i tried bait casting i barely touch my spinners. with bait casters you need smooth cast with out hiccups, and set them up properly. fyi the shimano dc reels take a lot of the set up out of it. i set it once and never have to touch it for the rest of the season.

[@StarCityFAME]

A tip that may help, when you cast, keep your thumb lightly pressed against the spool. It'll help control the amount of line coming off your spool and help reduce birds nests.

[@Monsiemage]

No hard feelings man, I also used only spinning rods and reels for years then leaped over to bait casters. The learning curve is real with them, I actually bird nested mine so bad in the process of learning it that I had to re spool the entire thing "After letting it sit in the garage for about a year" I actually decided to just spool it with braid, I just thought in my head "Well this is the most difficult to use in a bait caster so If I get this down I'll be done with it" That's what ended up working for me, I learned with a 40lb braid which turned out to be easier to remove bird nest from, and I haven't had problems casting since.

[@MrBierbanger]

Yes, braid are much easier to use with a baitcaster. Never use nylon

[@bojanglez4855]

Sooo from the start. Love the shimono. Thinking of getting 1 2. Second Cabela's is dope. 3rd did you use ur tentioner.

[@BraydonIsGodlyAtRust]

No he did not lmfaoo

[@jameswegman1256]

Been there and done that. I'm a certified '' bird nest" expert! But I love my bait caster and, yes, that first fish is monumentally important! Mine was a 1.8lb Channel Cat on chicken livers! oorah!!!!!

[@BassHopesAndDreams]

I still can’t stop looking back on thsi video when I bought my first bait caster and I just watched thsi video and I went out and the same day buying the reel and rod I caught my on 7lb large mouth all in the same day also my dad took me out fishing after Bugging him for at least 10 years to teach me how to use a bait caster and fell in love on the first cast and the day after that is when I bought my first bait cast combo 😂 can’t believe I came thsi far tbh now with like 10 high end combos bc I have nothing else to spend money on

[@Sappy88]

7:44 these 2 casts kill me every time I swearrrr🤣🥶🤩

[@Shnikies78]

[@Sappy88]

4:33 im in backyard. reminds me of the googan squad episode when they were watching their old videos and peric was like got some backpack

[@tanyadempsey6448]

Ayyyyyyyy googan squad love them

[@woahtay3429]

Where are you

[@vengefulgod_]

The Abu Garcia is what me and my dad before he passed use to use when we use to go fishing when i was a kid such a great rod

[@BamaChad-W4CHD]

Man that was totally me today. I've been fishing all my life and never tried a baitcaster. Well I did today and it was terrible. Exactly like your experience. Its all about the controls on the reel. The spool tension thing and brakes were all wrong. I did a little more research and after several dozen KZbin classes I had it down.

[@Shurmash]

No spool tension, adjust brakes until backlashes stop. Best performance possible.

[@rylanbabb7878]

You did good for your first time my first time I got a birds nest every cast

[@thechowdacrew]

Most awkward moment on the internet= 00:14 👍🏻

[@jonbrollinsface2420]

Getting a bait caster is kind of a rite of passage for me. Using my dads old one that rarely ever backlashes because it’s so tight. I currently use a spinner but I’ve been looking at baitcasters and I think I’m getting one for Christmas

[@kadenl1220]

he is at 300k now and he was excited for 900 ☺️ congrats on the progress

[@gradymanuel4820]

When you use a bait caster try adjusting your drag when you change lures

[@harrisonzorn6471]

Look at the dial on the side and put it on the highest number and the backlash won't be so easy to get.

[@zacharystarling3785]

Harrison Zorn the line will go out slow but for learning it’s good to practice with

[@reidheine8838]

Zachary Starling if he’s talking ab the weight dial then it will but I think he’s talking ab the braking system and it doesn’t kick in until it starts slowing down on its own and now there are crazy ones with chips in it

[@rj4012]

lmao bro u are the man loved how real this video was

[@whitewolfwoodcrafts]

I accidentally bought a baitcaster ROD the other day, thinking it was for spinning reals, but I had meaning to get into baitcasters anyhow, so I ordered one just yesterday. I really appreciate you showing the learning process. Makes me less intimidated to tackle the learning curve. How hard was it clearing the birds nests?

[@hydrob_1048]

I know this is vedy late. But you did n awesome job

[@tylerludeman2148]

U need to run your line threw the reel eye but good video

[@FirstStateFishing]

Lol yeah I realize that now haha but thanks man!

[@therealwardog6410]

through*

[@janglenutter3820]

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who saw that.

[@tacobob891]

Great first baitcaster setup, can tell you did your research!

[@jjj87484]

I'm also a color blind stoner, and the "whatever it's Christmas" comment had me dying laughing lol

[@romanm90]

Caught a crappie “holy crap”

[@matthewtatulli6673]

Its 3 years late, but congratulations

[@IIdxneII]

I just got my 1st baitcaster 5 days ago and today I got my 1st fish on it was a White Crappie 14 1/2 inch with a white mister twister and a silver jighead I was so happy

[@christianfuller1401]

Help me with casting. I can't do it

[@Joestacemazjojo]

Good video man, that first cast had me rolling. Just picked one up and I have to say atleast you got some distance, and some fish. Good video
