the smiley face in the sky!

I knew it wouldn’t take long until someone noticed it. I had no idea until I started editing.

Good stuff Chuck. Been teaching my little man on a baitcaster and he holds on too long. Casting at the cloud is the message I needed for him.

[@ChuckPippinBassFishing]

Great! Let me know if it helps.

[@6thmichcav262]

Chuck is speaking from experience and massive efficiency. If you have to cast all day for 300 days a year, you learn to fish effectively like this. My only alternative comment is that braided line is easier for me to remove backlashes.

Thanks so much for this! I’ve been struggling with the overhead cast, doing exactly what you said. Well done!

[@ChuckPippinBassFishing]

@@seadogjack2022 That’s great! Glad I could help. Keep me updated on your progress.

6:19 Smiley Face would have been the perfect 'puffy cloud' to aim for.

[@ChuckPippinBassFishing]

lol. You got that right.

[@ikonboats]

Great tips!

[@d3po455]

Good stuff - thanks Chuck.

[@ChuckPippinBassFishing]

I appreciate it! 👍🏻

[@crystalberriault7381]

I just bought my first baitcaster today and bird nested every time I casted 😅 This video was soooo helpful so thank you 😁 Now I have to go untangle my mess 😂

[@ChuckPippinBassFishing]

It happens. That’s how everyone starts. Just keep at it. Glad I could help 👍🏻

[@jonerlandson1956]

thanks... i like that tip...

[@williamschneider6811]

I like you use 13fishing reels. I have found that they cast farther than other reels I’ve owned. The centrifugal brake system has allowed me, in a lot of instances, to cast without using more than a very slight feathering thumb pressure, and in some cases no thumb pressure at all. I get NO backlashes at all.

[@ChuckPippinBassFishing]

You got that right!🔥

how to tie a hair rig for the carp corn fishing? and I have a question I don't have a bait caster but I want to buy one what's the best cheep choice? how do you know when to stop the line with your thumb?

[@ChuckPippinBassFishing]

I’m not knowledgeable on carp corn fishing 🤷🏻‍♂️. You put your thumb on the spool just as the lure is hitting the water. Sometimes you might have to lightly press your thumb on the spool when casting across, or up, wind to keep it from overrunning. IMO, the best entry level baitcaster would be a 13 Fishing Origin for about $60

[@lavellemaxon9478]

@ChuckPippinBassFishing thank you very much

[@gofull123]

Found this video after and hour of cutting line out of a tangled mess on my spool. Only ever fished with the standard type of reel so ot only took one cast of not putting tension on with my thumb to screw it up

[@ChuckPippinBassFishing]

Yikes! Hope my video helps

[@dakotaskeens2025]

Think that cloud is a smiley face dude

[@kylekincaid1668]

Good video! Quick question. I am left handed and have been using a spinning reel. I cast with my left and reel with my right. Would that be the same for a baitcaster? Thanks!

[@ChuckPippinBassFishing]

Probably. I am also left handed, but cast with my right and reel with my left. Fishing rods/reels don’t always seem to correlate with whatever hand is your dominant. Basically, whatever feels comfortable to you is the best option.

[@thomasstilwell256]

Gonna give this a shot I have abu Garcia black max and I have never been able to cast it without bird nesting

[@simbamesserle9965]

Did it work

[@NickCheeseman]

This video has some great tips. It would really benefit from telling us what to do rather than not to do. You never actually say when you are supposed to put your thumb on the line. Is it when you cast? When the bait hits the water? The whole time? And how much pressure. Thanks.

[@ChuckPippinBassFishing]

@@NickCheeseman Thanks! 🙌🏼ultimately, you’re putting you’re stopping the spool with your thumb as it’s hitting the water. In windy conditions, you sometimes have to feather it out there without completely removing your thumb from the spool.

[@lowchopr1]

I learned a long time ago just use a Zebco

[@ChuckPippinBassFishing]

Nah, don’t give up.

[@adrianabell2607]

Some great tips but I wish you were as clear about when and how to use your thumb as you were about the position and aim.

[@ChuckPippinBassFishing]

Noted!

I hope the dude from GetUrFishOn watches this…….

[@ChuckPippinBassFishing]

Does he need help?

[@swamp_rat_fla1126]

@@ChuckPippinBassFishing I think so…I’ve never seen him use a bait caster. But maybe he just prefers spinning reels.

[@ChuckPippinBassFishing]
