Thanks, DB just bought my first baitcaster, a Shimano Curado 201 looking forward to giving it a go but a little nervous however watching your video has given me some much needed info on what to do, thanks mate

[@BadSensation]

"you'll get confident, you'll get cocky" :D this is so spot on it's ridiculous. Started getting cocky 1 hour into casting my first BC and instantly lost a bait

[@leejohnson7471]

Great vid

[@Roastarex]

Do you use wire trace for this setup?

[@daviddevine1757]

Great vid but ye could not pull me away from the noise of the drag on my Shimano nasci.

[@HeavyBaitsFishing]

once you learn, you will never want to use fixed spool reel again

[@whitetroutchannel]

not overly much use when you need to cast a 1.5gram mepp thou as a tool for medium and bigger lures its second to none but the fixed spool still has its place

[@HeavyBaitsFishing]

@@whitetroutchannel there are many situations when fixed spools are irreplaceable, can't argue with that 👍

[@whitetroutchannel]

@@HeavyBaitsFishing dont get me wrong i love baitcasters nothin beats froggin for pike on a spring evening !

[@lexingtonlad5745]

Just buy a shimano slx. No backlash. No breaks.

[@nikko7507]

Shimano FX reels are no doubt the best reels for spinning…super light & smooth and cheap ! not multipliers

[@Vermincinerator]

I have cracked off heavy lures because of backlash and to light braid, when i was first started out and a couple of times since (12 years) not very funny when your £15 favourite super catcher lure goes flying off to the horizon but hilarious when your mate does it!! 65lb + braid will go along way to stopping this if you get an unexpected back lash and dig in and your spool stops spinning mid flight

[@PescuitcuEdi]

Finnaly i understand how to use a baitcaster

[@mihaeladianazorescu9984]

The way I did this was weird I wish I had this video I literally got 90 ish backlashes within 1 week

[@maartenmegens764]

Big fish!!....Big snag. Recognise that so much 😂😩

[@becaldridge1584]

Can u make a updated video of best starter bait caster rigs from reel , rod all way to bait types for uk fishing plz bro ? Been floating for years but want try something more active from a boat in wales

[@newbie_fishing9210]

Took my baitcaster out for the first time today. Watched this video last night and only got 3 minor nests from 2.5 hours fishing. Dead chuffed. Thanks for the tips. 😀👍🐟

[@remcoengelberts700]

Hi, love your video’s !! do you use the westin powershad rod for all kind of lures? Softbaits, swimbaits, jerkbaits? Is it to heavy for lures with a maximum weight of about 100 grams? I am looking for a “allround” rod for pike fishing of the bank!

[@lexingtonlad5745]

Just pick up a shimano slx. No backlash, no breaks.

[@josephmora7154]

You've just made my life so much easier 😂

[@matthulley72]

What baitcaster is it your using in the video please ?

[@jorvikangler]

I'd recommend 0.4 or 0.45mm braid on a setup like yours, really easy to use. Also 6' jerkbait rods are best avoided if you're new to baitcasters. Go with an 8' one, like you use, it's a lot easier.

[@richbillany2795]

I've resorted to deadbaiting for pike at the moment because I'm having nothing on the lures haha, even went for trout today

[@corey137]

What’s classed as thin braid is 28mm thin

[@dtdfishing9712]

westin rods?

[@flo_8611]

Can you recommend a beginner kit? But not for heavy lures , let's say max 60-70 gr and a medium price. Thank you for the video , i want to switch to baitcast and it is really helpful.

[@wallyjumblatt]

It might be useful to do something on pitching under trees, etc. Some of the worst birds nests I've had have been caused by the lure just catching a twig or reed. Even a nanosecond of interruption to the flight of the lure can cause backlash. I've had other backlashes from similar slight touches to vegetation, twigs over or behind me! The worst was tipping the stonework of a bridge.Good tip about starting on mono. It took me three months of practice to become proficient--and three spools of Spiderwire braid. Sickening cost, but you have to keep on!Also good to mention keeping your eye on the target--a bit like using a shotgun. If you watch your thumb on the spool it's usually birdsnest time. You need to watch your lure fall towards the water and then apply the final pressure on the spool.Worth persevering, though, because as said elsewhere, once you've mastered it, fixed spool reels seem slow and primitive and less useful for covering water quickly.

[@BUSHCRAPPING]

hitting the tree above me is how i got my last bad birdsnest lol

[@andrewclack4881]

is this a left handed reel

[@dspaul666]

Thank you for doing this videos. I have had baitcasters before and just wanted to throw them in the lake! Got a cheapy again ...watched this video last night. Loaded the reel with 40lb braid...went fishing today....total transformation!! You explained everything in an easy to understand way. Got 1 backlash when I clipped some reeds with my lure...carefully picked it out. Will now be looking to buy a better quality reel,as I really enjoyed using the baitcaster. Thanks mate 👍

[@adamk7298]

Mate, that was spot on. I've had a baitcaster for about 18 months and it's still in its box! Going away this weekend and there's a lake with pike in close by so will be practicing. Thanks Well I have just been down to the canal at Horbury Bridge to use my baitcaster for the first time after watching this video. First cast I over spooled, birds nest and came home again. My thumb wasn't doing its job well enough. Think that's it put away for a year now!

[@stveimorritt2951]

There good but u get cold hands

[@rivercityfishing9103]

Gloves in winter bro! That fine mist that repeatedly settles after every cast can be a pain :)

[@craigmitchell4945]

Thanks DB fishing a great vid their on how to cast a baitcaster I bought myself a Shimano Cardiff multiplier reel 301c for my lure fishing? Is this a good reel for the beginner when it comes to bait casters?

[@leoncharite6547]

Great video btw been out field at back of my house with the new purches watching this practicing 🙈 neighbor's must think I'm a weirdo

[@stephenrendall]

Thanks for this video, I have been looking at getting a casting rod and reel, want to start playing around with some line-thru lures... I know you've put some links in the description but what do you recommend for someone starting out on an average price point?

[@melle1996meijer]

Thanks have been Fish for about 3 months now with a baitchaser and had a lot of tengelde up line had to learn it the hard way didn't know about the breaks part saw this walked to my rod and now I know that they are for thx

[@peterfitzpatrick7032]

I NEEDED this vid !! 🤗 Thank you very much ! 😎👍☘️

[@123bobbyjohn]

Are you saying you would leave the magnetic brakes at full all the time? :)

[@tgdb4968]

Thanks man this is a great help. How much line do you put on your reel?

[@youngtuggzy2361]

Very helpfull as i got a baitcaster rod and reel comming in monday, tight lines!

[@dkdarkfox2112]

hello

[@dkdarkfox2112]

@@pikeandperch hello and i caught a 4 pound pike

[@darrenrodd.]

I can cast one but how do you aim where you want them to go? Don't seem to be vids showing that

[@CC-sd8cm]

BIG FISH! big snag. Every time I go fishing

[@davemellor4697]

Hi D.B what is the make and model of reel you are using?

[@treforknight1366]

I’ve been using an ABU ProMax reel on same make 6’6 rod for a month.. I’m in a position where I’ve pretty much got it.. but I still birds nest in some small way probably a couple of times every trip out.. usually can unpick it (30lb braid) but I’ve had big ones and had to cut the line off twice in the month.. but .. I tried going back to a fixed spool and it feels useless now for casting lures! .. so inaccurate and time consuming! I’ve got my brake on about 50%.. will keep going with the bait-caster as the advantage is worth it.. but wind the brake back on for now.. cheers👍

[@Shurmash]

For the best performance use no spool tension with just a hair of side to side movement and adjust with your cast control on the side. This way you'll get the most distance, a better working drag, and reduced backlashes. The rest is thumb work. Tight lines out there!

[@BUSHCRAPPING]

thicker braid and more strands makes it LOT easier, i started on 4 strand 15lb braid quite a few birds nests, i switched to 50lb 16 strand and now i really dont get them unless my drag has bedded in too tight or i hit a bush or whatever, now and again you switch to a lighter lure and get one but they always come out. i dont even use tension knob at all anymore, just 25% magnetic drag

[@BUSHCRAPPING]

also have you thought about trying a BFS set up mate? like an UL baitcaster for trout and perch and chub? im tempted to get one when trout season starts, but i also want a heavier pike rod hahah.

[@Fishy-qg4js]

Nice vid mate, winter fishing is hard

[@kristianevans4838]

I had a massive one yesterday 80g jerkbait caught the thinnest of branches behind me 20 quids worth of power pro in the bin 😡first one in over a year bugger.

[@kristianevans4838]

DB Fishing it certainly does mate ,I just got to the venue too ,good job it was not far to drive back home .bloody trees 😀

[@lffishingcompany1482]

Nice video 👍

[@JC-oj5tz]

Very helpful thanks!

[@mitchellmcdermott9061]

First here bro

[@hazzardoutdoors]

Why use this instead of a spinning reel fella?

[@fishingwithaodhancallaghan3637]

Easy for heavy lures and topwater fishing for a good hookset

[@Swenhendriks]

That gives the beginner hope again. Had a birdnest a few weeks back on thinner braid as well. 3 times and the last time I had to cut the line of. Lost 3 big lures and was very demotivated. I like your style of fishing and bin using it as an example. Keep catching and keep filming.👌🏼 cheers.

[@BUSHCRAPPING]

try thicker line mate or more strands ie. 16 strand braid that really helped me

[@Swenhendriks]

I have thicker line now and I've bin practicing on land with a rubber lure witouth the hooks. Got some funny faces from people who ware passing by.
