I'm a 53 yr. old man who has used spinning gear my entire life. Because of your videos, I decided it was time I learned how to use a baitcaster. I bought 5 inexpensive combos, went outside and began following your instructions. That was 8 months ago now and I must say that I absolutely love baitcasters. Thanks for the help

[@DEBOSFishing]

Heck yeah! That's awesome to hear sir! Keep fishing and tight lines!

[@manofthehour1983]

Same but 40 - just bought my first baitcaster combo , its about time i leveled up. This video was immensly helpful. Im excited .

[@jeffburnham6611]

I was in the same situation you were. Fished all my life using spinning reels. A friend suggested trying a bait caster. Bought a good one, watched some videos, then took it out with me. Conclusion: way too many backlashes. Kept using it that season but then switched back to my spinning reels. I won't ever go to a bait caster again, not even as a back-up.

[@CplMAC1144]

Same here. 50. 😁

Just got my Quantum Pulse Bait caster today. My friend bought me for my birthday. Never was good at them. So my friend got me to try again! So I am watching how to set this thing up. Will try a practice before really fishing. Fall starts tomorrow. Wish me luck! SHAWN

[@DEBOSFishing]

Good luck my man. Like anything new it will just take some consistent practice. Thanks for watching and don't get discouraged with a backlash or two!

[@midwestfischerman]

This is not only an AMAZING tutorial on setting brakes and spool tension, this is a FANTASTIC tutorial on casting as well!!!

[@shawnbeck2303]

Hey, DeBo's! SHAWN here. Went out today and fished my friend's pond behind his house. Put my new Bait caster reel and ugly stick in to action. I bought a Spinning ugly stick and spinning reel combo at Wal-Mart for $36.00 for the whole combo. My friend bought me a Quantum Pulse Bait caster reel. Put it on the Spinning ugly stick rod 6'6 2 piece. I read that you can put a Bait caster reel on a spinning rod but not the other way around. Man, I am telling you after setting up the reel the way you told us too. It casted like butter! We got a bird nest a couple of on purpose just to learn how to get them undone. Worked every time. Caught 10 bass too. Please keep teaching us the way you fish. You got it down pat. The only thing is slow down a little when talking and teaching. I am 59 years old. Have a hard time keeping up. Sometimes. I have changed my rod, reel, knots and the way I have fished for years. It's been great fun this summer. Still going to fish into the late fall. Thanks again. See ya at the lakes. Shawn

My dad just bought two baitcasters for us to use and we haven't fished before so this is a little overwhelming, but you did a great job going through and explaining everything thoroughly. You earned a subscription!!

[@davidvillarreal3973]

I’m a multi-stroke survivor wanting to get back into fishing. Strokes took all my memories. Having to learn everything all over again. I’ve seen several videos. None of which were helpful. I’ve gotten 5:43 into the video paused it rolled my wheelchair out got my real. Did everything you said. Stayed out for an hour casting with no problems at all. Went and got my fishing license. Going camping tomorrow for a week and will fish everyday. Thank you for giving me my fishing life back.

[@noh8994]

Another huge tip. If you are going to get your first Bait caster, and you use a spinning reel. If you wind that spinner with your left hand then get a left handle bait caster. It isn't a left handed reel. I am right handed and want my strong arm on the rod. Plus you will have to change hands in the middle of the cast to get your weak hand back on the rod. A guy told me this when I was buying my first reel years ago. Best damn tip I ever got.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Yeah, great tip man! Best to keep them the same way if you don't know any different. Thanks for watching 👊

[@oxyfide]

I like to cast with my right and reel with my right. Guess I'm doomed for having to switch every cast. Do people tend to switch and try left hand when switching from spinning to baitcaster?

[@noh8994]

@@oxyfide It really is a personal preference but I was just tip off to this in the very beginning. Notice how many pro's are throwing right and reeling left. But you can catchum either way. I just am so glad to have started left reeling at the very first. It would be harder to switch now for sure.

[@JayPackman1966]

Im usually not one for comments but this video deserves a thumbs up. Most videos on this subject go through the steps to set up but no understanding of troubleshooting issues. Especially adding the factor of distance and how it relates to the settings. Add the slightly fast talking and you have a perfect video. Great work!

Awesome! Good luck on the water. Like anything new it just takes consistent practice!

[@robertkline5637]

Appreciate your instruction. I'm an old guy and fish a lot. But not very good at it. (So the wife says). You give the best info, in the fewest words, as fast as humanly possible, and you obviously have fun doing it. I appreciate the non-Hollywood style. I've seen lots of backlash videos. No thumb, lots of thumb, curse out the left side of your mouth, only the fg knot will cure backlash, - you name it. You've given the best all-round instruction on how to avoid backlash. Don't change your style - and great editing as well.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Hahaha I appreciate that a LOT! The only thing that cures backlash is practice. Put the time in and I'm confident anyone can operate one. Greatly appreciate you watching and taking time to comment. I do have a lot of fun doing this and comments like this make it all worthwhile! P.S. Sounds like you need to challenge your wife to a fish off....loser does all house work for a week!

[@cracker182]

Great video . I was taught all this by my father who did tournament fishing 20 years ago , good to see someone passing on good quality knowledge 👍

[@DEBOSFishing]

My old man taught me as well. I'm no pro but happy to share what I know. Thanks for watching man!

[@lancewood647]

Thanks for this video. I've seen many to learn how to use my 1st baitcaster and this video just clicked with me having a great balance of explanation and examples.

[@Gottaculat]

This is so much more complex than the 40-year-old Johnson reel I've used since childhood. With that, hold the thumb button, do a typical overhand cast, release thumb button outright at apex of cast. Done. Never had backlash on that type of reel in all 30 years I've used it. Only reason I bought one of these newfangled sci-fi reels is that's all they're selling for under $100 these days. I tried casting like I'd done for 30 years, and it took a nose dive at about 30 feet and looked like a box full of Christmas lights. Gotta say, I was pissed, took it back, and they told me everything I knew about casting doesn't apply to this kind of reel. They kept calling it a "bait caster," which makes no sense because who fishes with a rod and no bait? Anyway, the video was helpful. Guess I'm back to beginner angler until I get down the fine motor movements needed for these reels... magnets and carbon fiber in a fishing reel... seriously, this is like some sci-fi shit.

[@ethanmoore395]

Yeah it’s tough to get used to just practice really is all I can tell you and when your lure hits the water stop the spool with your thumb this will 100% stop birds nest or backlash hope this helps!

[@doeyjiaz4798]

So are you still using the star trek reel or did ya switch to spinning 😆jk

[@friedscavlegs5109]

Open face Spinning reels are straight forwards and should operate like the one you're used to.

[@hookedonbassncats]

This is the best breakdown and description of what part of the cast the magnet brakes helps and what part of the cast the centrifugal brakes helps. Good stuff debo

[@BackwardsNelsons]

I never touched a Caster until watching your videos and being a complete NEWB I always start with everything turned all the way up. Then back off the tention knob, then outside brakes and inside brakes. In the back yard of course. That way come fishing day I’m good to go!! Thanks debo!! 15# flourokote too

[@Hammersmithblues]

[@scottdacey1858]

Central Fugal... I like it! Good video, very informative. The only bait caster I ever owned was a salt water Penn. But it only had a drag setting and the reel backlash was all thumb control. I've been kicking around getting a bait caster for fresh water. You've helped me decide. Thanks!

[@DEBOSFishing]

That's awesome to hear! Glad that my vids have helped out. They take some practice but they are fun once you get the hang of tossing it!

[@markflippin9513]

My first baitcaster was a plastic reel using twine (7 yo in Missouri in the 1950's ). Backlashes with twine are awesome. After finding spinning, swore I'd never use a baitcaster reel again. Two grandsons convinced me to try baitcaster. Major issues until I watched your video. Now able to consistently cast without backlash. Thanks

[@Motorcyclewindtherapy]

You've gotten a lot of well deserved compliments...you really nailed it. I'm old enough to remember starting with level wind reels and black dacron line! I was a kid watching early 70s TV fishing shows and taking my dads old tackle (level wind reels with dacron line!) And trying to emulate what I saw. My thumb got very educated! No magnetic brakes, no spool tensioner...lol. I still use reels old Abu reels on some of my rods with no brakes...some from the 80s, but the new advanced ones are nice for sure. Really great video. Congrats again.

I came across your video and you were very helpful and comedic at explaining the workings. I think the comedic parts made it more interesting to watch. That you so much. Plan on watching the rest of your videos to help me with learning to use a bait caster. Thanks again

[@cristianespinal9917]

Spent a couple hours out with my new baitcaster. Through trial and error, focusing on clean form, playing with the reel tension and drag, and thumbing it different amounts at different times, I was just starting to get the hang of it. I went from a backlash one every cast, to every other, to every few. I even managed to catch a nice, chunky bass with it. After your vid, I completely understand what I was doing wrong, what I was doing right, and how to fix what's still wrong. Thanks a lot!

But for the first time I understand the how and why and now with practice I can finally get it down. Thanks for helping out even us old timers... this was an excellent informative video.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Appreciate that a lot man! Thanks for watching and supporting my channel 👊

[@christopherpettersen2359]

Good instructional series. One thing I would like to share is over spooling a reel will add to the backlash dilemma, and reduce casting distance and keep a person's head shaking wondering what is going on ? Especially when you tried every setting on a reel. So pay attention to how much line you put on a reel. I had an experience where I didn't realize I over spooled a reel just a tad too much with 50lb braid, and the line on the spool would rub against the reel seat unbeknownst to me. When I would cast, it would immediately backlash after only casting out about 20 feet. As soon as I realized this issue and took some line off, everything went a smooth as could be. Just my .02 cents.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Very true! I covered this in my spooling a baitcaster video but for anybody that missed that video...this man is proof that it happens. Thanks for sharing and helping our feeshin friends!

[@luckyx16]

Major thumbs up, after watching this video I was able to adjust my baitcaster in minutes and completely stop the major backlashes!! Amazing improvement! While fishing, I had a few minor backlashes, but was able to figure out what was causing it and adjust on the fly. All backlashes were able to be removed in a couple of seconds. Saved video to favorites in case I need refresher tips. Thanks a ton for posting this.

I love that people make videos to help people its awesome when we have so many in the fishing community to help each other. That being said just get out there guys. You're gonna get a rats nest backlash no matter what and when you do guess what? You'll learn how to dig it out and get rid of it. Its not fun but a necessity. You'll also learn how it happened and hopefully just not repeat it. I think a lot of people are still intimidated and shouldn't be, a rats nest is not gonna hurt you and neither is learning so just go do it!

Thanks man. I agree. People waste too much time bickering and not enough time educating. I'm no pro but I'm happy to share what I know. Thanks for watching man 👊

[@lmsmbassaddict7779]

I honestly think centrifugal brakes are better but if you are new and really worried get yourself a bass pro qualifier. That reel can teach you to become proficient in both, one or the other, and keep practicing with feathering your spool. When I first started I freaking hated magnetic brakes. But that's because I didn't understand what it was doing. An understanding for how your equipment works goes a long way.

You have to be sure not to overspool w/ line tho...not even 1/16 or it doesn't adjust at all. The right (perfect) amount & amazing.

I would suggest a Shimano Dc reel

[@JollyGreen79]

Thank you! Nobody could make a better video on dialing in a baitcaster.

[@loganknerr8432]

How long did it take you to learn how to use a bait caster? When did you feel comfortable with it?

[@DEBOSFishing]

It takes a bit. I started when I was young. The most important thing is to just keep putting time in on it. I'd say after a season you should feel comfortable with it.

[@JnJTrueOutdoorAdventures]

Great video!!! I know it is 2 years old but a new comer to baitcasting reels, this is a must watch video!!

[@csmith0244]

I’ve just started playing around with my first baitcaster and the one thing I’ve learned is that the easiest way to remove a backlash is with my pocket knife 😩😭.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Lol it can seem like that at first. Turn the brakes up and start with more of a sidearm lobbing cast. As you get more comfortable back the brakes off. Like anything new it will just take some practice. Good luck man!

[@hudsongrylls9672]

I love this man already NEVER CHANGE! Your humor is amazing but you keep your videos very instructional. Love that since of style to, you earned a dedicated subscriber. Thanks for the quality content!

Hey! You just became a #verifiedfeeshinfriend thanks man! Appreciate you watching my videos!

[@danielstammann4825]

Wonderful presentation. It would help if you did not talk so fast.

[@danielgrey1661]

Daniel Stammann think he’s mega excited 😆

[@sparks999999999]

if he talked slower this would be a 2 hour video.... :)

[@williamvass947]

THIS is the video that got me back to learning a baitcaster 2 years later i now have 8 baitcasters so once again Debo The Feehsbro thank you.

[@balamont1150]

The word is SEN-TRIFF-IC-KULL!!!

[@DEBOSFishing]

Thanks for watching man! I'm aware of this but every video I have done are saying it's the other. So I did one as centri-few-gull. I believe it's the english/British pronunciation. As long as the video helps folks, that's what I'm after.

[@balamont1150]

@Wheaten Zoomies hahah thanks man, I just love fishing 👊

[@zues287]

There's no "c" or "k" in centrifugal. It's pronounced sin-trif-i-gull.

[@midstaterustics4507]

I have been contemplating getting a bait caster your videos have finally made me make the jump, now I just need to make the trek out and look for it, just so many to choose from.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Nice! They are a fun versatile tool for fishing. What is your price range? A lot of options around $100. Daiwa fuego, revo x, Lew's LFS, etc.

[@RickyC005]

don't do it. Debo's tips help but its still like getting a pet porcupine. I'm replacing my bait casters with bail spinners.

[@lexwaldez]

The real secret to never backlashing again? Purple sox.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Truth! Hahaha thanks for watching man 👊

[@cameronnedrow9353]

Debo, I’ve been watching your videos a lot and I think you are possibly the best teacher when it comes to bait selection and combo setup I have learned so much from you. My only point of contention is something that many fishermen simply don’t care about and that’s the ethical side of fishing. I have come to use barbless hooks because they are much easier on the fish and if you choose to throw the fish back which is mostly what I see you do in your videos I think it is the more humane option. You could say it doesn’t make a difference but I think it does and with modern hook shape/design you won’t lose as many fish with a barbless hook as you might think. Also, consider releasing fish gently back into the water and maybe set the drag on your reel a little bit lighter and don’t crank on them unnecessarily hard (don’t reel in when they’re fighting hard) so that you aren’t traumatizing the fish and lowering it’s chances of survival due to multiple factors. After all, the fish being alive and healthy are why we are able to go fishing and I would love your videos so much more if I saw a little more of the ethical fisherman that I’ve described thank you Debo for the vast knowledge you’ve given me as a fisherman and also the entertainment of just watching you fish you are truly one of the best KZbin fishing channels and I hope you can incorporate a little of what I have said here into your fishing peace out feeshin friend

[@niccastleberg4951]

Them socks tho

Ha, I thought it was just me who found humor in that!

Bro, my sock game is on point! Haha started as a joke from my wife. I embraced it and now I have crazy socks. Debo gets the last laugh hahah thanks for watching man!
