How Does a Backlash on a Baitcast Reel Happen? Backlash Explanation - KastKing

[@BMills_]

Amazing Video... i was starting to get very frustrated getting backlash every few casts I didn’t know what I was doing wrong. This helped a lot thank you!!

[@carlosdominguez9040]

Yeah I’m about to just return mine its very frustrating I cant even fish with it im so bad lol

[@mocasting6651]

Ok... I have yet to see a better tutorial on baitcasters... and I’ve seen a lot!!! I do birds nest way more than I think I should and you have nailed my problem right on the nose!!! I’m the big over the head bomber that gets a birds nest every time when the lure stalls out in mid air. Great video!! Great explanations!! And you have saved me a ton of future grief!!! Thanks so much!!

[@Eldwyn]

I watched a ton of tutorials and now i know that i was way too confident that i would nail it when i get my baitcaster. Now i got my baitcaster, i'm trying to just practice cast it inside my home and i can't even cast it 2 meters away without a backlash. I got frustrated right away. Watching this video gave me a huge moral boost and inspiration. Don't know what you did different than all the other guide videos, which i have to admit i watched some really good ones too, but there is something in the way you explain how to do things just gave me the courage i need again. Thanks man, i'll just go practice and practice a lot when i got the time for it. Cheers from Turkey.

[@KastKing]

Thank you, Turkey. Very nice to meet you. 🤗❤️

I have been looking for a video to show how to adjust the breaking systems on my three KK reels. This video was awesome. Showed me exactly what I was looking for.

[@freddiedorris3788]

Probably the best damn video I’ve ever seen on this subject . No need to watch all them other videos , this is the one !!👍👍

[@KastKing]

Awesome! Thanks for watching :)

[@BooksNGuns]

I swear that was my EXACT thought. The best tip I learned from this video that none of the hundreds of others mentioned was how much to tighten the spool thing. Everybody else says that you want your lure to drop when that thumb button thing is pressed. Mr. Kk says that a noob like me should have it a little bit tighter. As I learn I'll loosen it more as I go.

[@kevinweinheimer9861]

getting first baitcaster this week great info

[@socratesagain7822]

Dude, you are this novice's god!Backlash has got to be EVERY beginner's nightmare! Will continue coming to this site as problems develop...Be well.

[@KastKing]

Hi there. Thank you for watching

[@kushairiroslei]

Novice : 1. Higher tension knob 2. Higher breaking Result : high accuracy, cannot cast farther Expert : 1. No tension knob 2. No breaking 3. Thumb only Result : moderate accuracy, cast farther

im just starting out with the kast king white maxx great reel. Great video im going to refer back to it for help. Im going to be buying more kast king reel as soon as i get this one down.

[@jorel6604]

Best tips ever even for professional caster..

[@TheMasterCaster]

Great video Devon, very informative! Learned a few things.

[@BooksNGuns]

This is hands down my favorite account to learn from as the beginner I am. I even brought the Speed Demon reel(older model) with a frog specific rod from Dobyns(heavy fast tip). This is my first ever baitcaster. So imagine my disappointment when you mention that's a tough way to learn because its stiff and won't do most of the "throwing" for you. So any additional tips for someone learning on a heavy rod w/ fast tip?

[@bobdashiell6714]

Excellent instructional video. Even an old timer like I am picked up a few tips. Thanks for the great video.

[@KastKing]

Thanks for tuning in! Glad we could help :)

Super helpful, been struggling with my Royale legend. I think this will help.

Awesome thanks for the feedback we ho[e it helps too!

How does the absence of the centrifugal brake benefits the Speed Demon vs the Assassin? I'm a bit confused: more expensive reel but less components? So is the centrifugal brake beneficial or just a gimmick?

[@KastKing]

The unique tri lateral brake system makes it so that the stopping power is all around versus being bunched up on only one side. a full circle of brake stopping power versus just a half side or even a less. Lastly, centrifugal brakes are not a gimmick just another engineering option.

[@BenZopilas]

10,000 Karma points to you for taking time to answer my question. A lot of companies wouldn't bother even when they're charging top dollar for their products. So big THANK YOU!!!! By "the gimmick" I didn't mean to offend the centrifugal break. I know it's a working thing. But what confuses me is that my understanding is that it is cheaper/more cost effective to spread the magnets in a tri-lateral brake system than manufacture a centrifugal brake. So then the logical solution would be to get rid of the centrifugal break in all reels and equip them with tri-lateral system = lower cost = higher profit or even lower price = more sales = more profit :)

[@KastKing]

Absolutely! :) Education and entertainment is what we aim for. Thanks for tuning in.

[@Fanofrealtalent]

At 44 years old, I had all but given up on bait casting reels. First off, I’m a blue collar guy who neither has the time nor money to be on the lake every moment I get free, so time necessary to get good at these things hasn’t been an option. Secondly, the price point of the reels and poles alone will scare the average person away. Lastly, when the planets all align-as well as kids ball games, wife’s honey do list, and my bank account-and I finally get out on the water, the LAST thing I want to do is pick out bird nests and be completely frustrated, where the pole and reel both get casted into the lake out of sheer anger and frustration! That said, I came across some videos and reviews of the speed demon, and I’ve studied it as much as possible. I bit the bullet and ordered it. It arrived today and I was so excited. I opened the box to a beautiful reel and about hyperventilated realizing I still know nothing about them and I’ll probably screw something up very quickly. Your video was insightful but not necessarily directed at the complete idiot(novice, I mean) like me. Can you spell it out in steps from box to rod to water to maintenance so that I can figure these things out? Thanks in advance. Sincerely, Tim

[@Fanofrealtalent]

Update: With the help of a local bait shop owner, the reel is spooled and working perfectly. I love it. I backlash a bit but nothing major, and I can make that stop by tightening it up even more- - all of this isn’t the reel but my personal inexperience. Thanks to KastKing for a great product.

[@BooksNGuns]

So being that I'm in your exactly position now. What would your tips for me be? Or knowing what you know now. If you had to learn all over again what would you do differently?

[@paullopes6236]

Great video and very informative!!! Thank you!!

[@crcdesign9886]

The brakes on the kastking royal legend and the stealth are NOT centrifugal brakes..the nubs don't extend any further than when you originally flick the tab.. I feel they're absolutely useless. The brakes on the assassin are amazing and are centrifical brakes. The speed demon, it's worth mentioning, even though it only has the standard magnetic braking that "every baitcaster has" it really is different. The magnetism is equally dispersed over the whole spool making it much more effective.

[@crcdesign9886]

DEBO'S Fishing thanks for the info. I don't really do much pitching but I can totally see how that's helpful. I love the assassin and speed demon..I just couldn't get the stealth working the way I WANTED it to.

[@crcdesign9886]

DEBO'S Fishing I really appreciate that. I returned my first one but I would definetly consider purchasing another

[@kushairiroslei]

Mobile AutoMD i found your comment is very helpful. Now im gonna buy only two. Assassin and speed demon. Thanks !

[@itz.al3x]

What is the one that you are using in the video?

[@Forestandocean]

Thank you Sir, These tips have helped me understand some very critical points of backlash. I have one question, i have a Kastking royale Legend Il baitcaster, how much mm braided line n how many strands (4 or 8) will perform better on it. Pl suggest. Thank you

[@Stan_Halen]

I'm not sure about that reel specifically as for how much line they take(I'd assume like most baitcasters so 90-130yds), but for 4 vs 8 strand it really depends on what you're doing. The short and sweet of it is, 8-strand is 'smoother' so its good for longer casts/open water fishing. 4 strand feels more 'coarse' and is good at cutting through vegetation and being more like a jigging/bottom fishing line. The age-old analogy all tackle shops use to make it easy to remember is 8 strand=highway tires, and 4 strand=off-road diggers.

[@Forestandocean]

@@Stan_Halen Thank you n well noted...

[@GetOutTheHouseGoFish]

Great Video .. thanks for going over and showing tips.

Very helpful and clearly explained!

[@KastKing]

So happy it could help

[@dinoharrison5138]

VERY informative. Thank you for the explanation.

[@KastKing]

Thanks! We will relay the message!

[@dinoharrison5138]

After thinking about it, I was wondering if you will be putting out a video on the "overhanded" cast? That would be helpful too! Thanks.

[@KastKing]

Good idea!

[@bendover3927]

Yes thank you learned something.

[@richtiger3623]

My brother lost his spool tension knob. But it is nowhere to be found online. Its like it never existed. How can I get a new one?

[@richtiger3623]

Danks (Thanks) dawg.

[@DIVA-MC-7]

Man you are good! Thank you!!!!

[@BIdouble94]

Awesome video.

[@howsth1s]

So, this is good and all that.... but can you explain how to do an overhead cast with this? Or should people just never do that with a bird-nester... err.... i mean baitcaster. I own this exact reel. It bird-nests all the time.

[@KastKing]

Hi there. Sorry to hear that.

[@FishingInColumbusOH]

Great video.

[@cactusfyt2252]

Can somebody tell me what reel that it I have been using spinning reels my whole life and just got into baitcasters

[@thewaterox1]

That’s a first generation Speed Demon. It’s a good reel with a high speed ratio. I have one and it has performed well!

[@izzyauna8814]

I had the nicest bait cast reel some years back and I couldn’t figure it out. Nobody to teach me. After it getting tangled 20 times I got so mad I tossed it in the water. The days when I had a temper or no patience.

[@KastKing]

Hope this video helps

[@gusonebear]

awesome vid bro!. :)

[@davidpickens6916]

I need a better rod….as I try to over hand cast the lure went straight down 10-15 feet in front of me… rod tip I believe is too stiff(cheap 5.6 length Walmart spin cast rod)… also I noticed my thumb leaving the spool more as I try to over hand it… I was able to under hand and side hand better but again, as I side hand it my aim always went too far to the left (right handed cast). Again I believe my rod tip is too stiff. ‘But”fortunately I caught a couple of nice brookies while practicing the first time. Yea: I hand some bird nesting also, but as the day progressed I got better with less and less bird nesting… (Monofilament) I’ll change it out to Braid soon! Thanks!!

[@KastKing]

Thank you so much for sharing with us

[@metecanyakupoglu9450]

thanks bro

[@KastKing]

Thank you

[@catboyzee]

Observation: More than other reels, baitcasters seem require a bit more micromanagement & quick thinking in order to be use them effectively.

[@shakyarcher]

In my opinion (as a non-tournament, amateur fisherman), learning to properly use a baitcasting reel is a waste of time. I don't believe there is anything a baitcasting reel the size of the one in this video can do that an equivalent sized spinning reel can't. The time spent learning to cast a baitcaster (and the time spent picking out bird's nests) can be much better spent learning cast a spinning reel as accurately as a baitcaster, with a whole lot less frustration.

[@KastKing]

Hi there. Thank you for watching

[@equinsuocha1213]

I’m mostly a spinning reel guy and I always fish from the bank, lately I decided to go with a bait caster when I go for largemouth bass specifically, just about everything else is spinning. Once you get the hang of bait casting it really is more accurate. Being able to feather the spool so much easier than a spinning reel allows you to drop that bait pretty much right where u want it and you can even salvage a bad cast and steer it towards the right spot. They also have more backbone which really helps with fishing through weeds, feeling bites, hopping your bait and especially setting the hook. Sure I still backlash once in awhile… but I’m starting to see why all the pro largemouth bass anglers mostly use casting equipment.
