I'm a beginner baitcaster user. My reel kept getting tangled up badly upon casting it. I thought it was the reel & have now took 3 of them back. After watching this video I have different view of them & learned how they actually work. Thanks for the tip.

Vin The Fishing Man thanks bro

[@theluth9046]

Thanks Man, I'm 67 years old and just bought my first baitcaster reel. I have always fished with my 60s vintage Mitchell 300, so its time to teach this dog new tricks, or fishing! Thanks for sharing, Great video, now to the back yard for practice, do you know any birds that need a home, I may make a few nests before I learn to cast this thing! Lol!

I really liked you straight forward explanation, you kept it simple and that helps a lot, I have watched many videos for this and I feel they are over explained, which can be information overload, so good job man, and thank you.

[@cdcd5260]

Out of all the beginner casting tutorials on KZbin, this short video has been the most help. Nice work.

[@FishGuy876]

Watched this after tangling my first baitcaster 5 times, and it all made perfect sense :) Cheers

[@mzj2998]

Lol me too, I was practicing in my yard and got a birds nest, forgot that you need to stop the spool before it makes contact with the surface

[@Rebel1280]

mine for some reason keeps going off the sides instead of where im aiming :/

I'm among the people that thought "I can figure it out, its just a reel!".4 nest later and I'm here. Seems like alot of steps, wish I would have known before I invested $$$$$ on the setup. At least now I know what the hell i SHOULD be doing!! Thanks for the video

[@troyphillips8027]

[@ssjbenji1]

Great little video dude, straight to the point and no over-explaining. Seems a lot of people make a bigger deal out of these than they really are, I was super nervous about using my new bait caster but after watching this video I had no problems on my first trip with it.

[@VinTheFishingMan]

Makes me happy to hear!

[@MightyMike24]

I hadn't used a bait caster in a long time, so i bunched it up 3 times in a row. Got on my phone, opened youtube, found your video in like 20 seconds. It all came back to memory...didn't catch anything but thanks.

[@dtaybrakin5450]

Thanks this really helped me out... love how you broke down how to tighten the tension for beginners. I actually gave away a bait caster because I didn’t know how to use it.

[@VinTheFishingMan]

Dtay E buy another one now haha once you put some time in, it's well worth it

[@jackwatson5400]

This is the video I have been searching for finally someone shows you have to click the brake off before casting everyone seems to miss that part out

[@ajsyed6735]

Dude thanks so much u got a sub you're the first person that can properly explain how to use one

[@bowinfielden7593]

[@VinTheFishingMan]

Awesome I appreciate it!

[@crystallurk4095]

I bought my first baitcaster a few years ago and I couldn't use it because I kept getting it tangled. I haven't tried to use it again because I thought the reel was bad/broken... now I know I was bad.. Now that I know what I was doing wrong I can't wait to test it out again! Thank you for this video and straight forward explanation!!

[@VinTheFishingMan]

Crystal Lurk hope it helped, make sure to subscribe to my channel for more tips and tricks!

[@slyper7]

I came on here tonight to intentionally say, "Thank you". I am 56 years old and always used spinning rods. I have wanted to switch to baitcasters for my heavier baits but I never could really get the hang of it. Before I saw your video, I sort of got to where I could mostly cast without a bird nest. After watching your video, and using your setup method, I can now cast without bird nests. To my surprise, my casting distance almost quadrupled. Really...quadrupled!!! So, again I say, "THANK YOU"!

[@Shurmash]

You'll get the best performance if you use no spool tension and adjust your brakes until you just start to get backlashes. The rest is thumb work.

[@geronimovision2912]

Just bought a baitcaster and took it out today. Oh boy did I fail. So I came home and found your video. Can’t wait to try again. I was planning on returning it, but I’ll give it another shot now.

[@VinTheFishingMan]

Geronimo Vision hope it helped, make sure to subscribe to my channel for more tips and tricks!

[@mybluebelly]

Very well explained. So many other "how to" wiseguys here on YT leave out this very elementary part and spend all their time talking about the various brake systems. It`s not a nobrainer how to operate that thumb brake thing. Thankyou !

[@Luviewines]

The best how to use a bait casting reel so far out of many. They all left out the fact to place your thumb on top of the spool right before the lure hits the water. Thanks!

[@dinoftw1]

I can't imagine how much people are watching this while ''fishing''

I appreciate the help! I used to use a baitcaster as a kid and hated the spinning rod. As an adult it became the opposite, by the time I went back to a baitcast, I had trouble.

Thankyou thankyou thankyou this has helped me along way just brought a diawa rod and reel combo $249 special so I went all out not knowing what I was doing kept getting bird nests all because I had the magnets on 2 of 9 and the gear wasn’t tight and after watching this I have been casting for 40 minutes changing lures and it’s just been awesome you helped us all out thankyou

Kain Wilson that makes me happy! Glad I was able to help you out!

[@joshkahn9600]

Great, easy to follow video. Thanks. I’m brand new to baitcasters, and yea, second cast I got a huge back lash. Looking forward to practicing more with it and getting more familiar with it.

[@Shurmash]

For the best performance use no spool tension and turn your brakes down just until you start getting a slight backlash. The rest is thumb work.

[@josey2490jr]

I really didn't know how to use it...now I know. Great Video. Thank you.

Omg thank you bro for Christmas I got a baitcaster and I had good weather to test it out thanks a lot man

[@tooter31911]

Thank you for the demo , I've just started using a bait caster again after years of using a regular reel , I just bought a quantum reel from bass pro as well as a new crappie bass tracker boat I'm still learning how to use it but I'm sure your video will help .

[@bryceessex1485]

Thank you! I am a beginner and that was very helpful.

[@johniv7406]

Thank you, man! I've always fished, but i would just throw some weights on the line with a hook and a worm and let it sit until i get something, with a closed reel. Just the other day i caught my first bass with a crankbait i bought randomly, with my closed reel which was a pretty good rush. Thank you for explaining things from square one!

[@theanxious]

Just bought a Pflueger President reel and it arrived today. I havent even strung it yet, but it's my first baitcaster like this. I'm an old school, cane pole or zebco 33 rod and reel fisherman. Been fishing 30 years with good ol zebco and the like and have caught many a fish! I finally decided I could treat myself to a higher quality reel and after much research, I chose the pflueger president. I'm thankful I watched your vid first! I had no idea what the knobs and stuff did exactly lol! Now I know! I am confident I'll make a few nests at first, I'm sure everybody does while learning. Hopefully I can work out the kinks before the reel makes it to the water lol. I imagine the quality will be worth it once I get over the learning curve lol. 2 random questions...What line are you running in the reel in this video (brand,weight)? What is your reason behind using this type of baitcaster reel VS. A simpler type like a zebco 33 etc? What are the pros and cons of a reel like yours basically? Obviously once you get used to the reel great... you seemed to have no trouble in the vid! I appreciate the tips for sure! Jim Brown Bonez Customs and Collectables @bonezcustoms on IG

[@VinTheFishingMan]

jim brown I had 35lb red spiderwire braid, and I prefer a baitcasting reel over a traditional spinning or spin cast reel for certain fishing styles. If I am throwing a finnese bait like a Texas rigged plastic, I stick with a spinning setup. Other than that I mainly run baitcasting combos due to sensitivity and control

Thanks for the fishing vid, Vin The Fishing Man. I live in The Pacific Northwest where the Columbia river meets Oregon and Washington. It seems that almost every baitcaster video I've seen is meant for bass fishing (I'm a newbie). Where I live it's all about the steelhead and salmon, yet everyone still uses baitcasters. What's the deal? Bass: most often murky lakes; salmonids - fast cold rivers. So, what are spinning reels for? What are the advantages of using the baitcaster in my situation?
