How To Cast a Spinning Rod & Reel for Beginners

[@tjoelchris88]

Hey man, just wanted to say that this was the only video I could find that really gave you the correct step-by-step instructions for learning this. My son and I couldn’t figure out how to cast our lines until we watched this video. Thanks for making this!

[@ChuckPippinBassFishing]

That’s great to hear! Glad my video was able to help you guys out. 🙌🏼

[@phaysyk]

I can't believe that I waited until I'm over 40 to start fishing 😩, I've been missing out lol. I love fishing now

[@emmanuelabaka3023]

You’re not alone Bruce. I’m 40 and just bought my rod yesterday.. Better late than never. I’m a firearms guy who loves taking waterfowl and hogs. So I don’t think I completely missed out😁

[@MichaelAddis-ol2cn]

That's a great video. I'm 58 and have never fished but just moved to a very sweet spot where I can do it every day. It's intimidating to have such basic questions and this kind of video helps make sure that the sport is accessible to as many people as possible.

Started up 🎣 fishing. Haven't been since I was a kid fishing with my mom. Decided to buy a pole yesterday on her birthday. She would've been 85yrs. old. I think she's trying to tell me to find simple joys in nature again... who knows, but I will always think of her while I'm on the water. Thank you!

[@SuperMuffins96]

Growing up, I’ve always had a rod with an easy cast button on it. Your video helped me learn the other rod and catch a 13 lb catfish first day out 👍🏼

Read the title and was gonna skip this one for obvious reasons. Then I thought about it and called my son over and we watched it together so he could pick some correct technique. Thank you sir.

[@ChuckPippinBassFishing]

A lot of people have skipped it. Lol. Worst amount of views I’ve had for a video in 3 years.

[@YaxisX]

This video contains important information. I learned from it and I have fished for many years. That part about Opening--The--Bail--Away--From--You was a revelation that many fishermen will benefit from. I never even heard of that before, and some of my casts lead to entanglements that I never quite understood. You one smart fella Chuck Pippin!

[@abderrahimlahmaidi5331]

very professional and mature. no begging for likes and subscribes and shares ... this is what we should have on youtube

[@ChuckPippinBassFishing]

Thank you! I appreciate it

[@backr80]

I don't usually comment on YT videos, but thanks for posting this. I figure a lot of pro's wouldn't feel like they're really doing something worthwhile introducing people to what could be seen as a ubiquitous sport, but I think you just filled in some of my blank spots in learning. I just started at 40, much like a few of your other viewers. I'm looking forward to getting better a tall of it.

[@thedesertrat]

I started fishing very young but stopped about 12yrs ago. All I used was a basic closed reel rod. Thought I’d try something new like this spinner style. I found this video to be highly informative and very easy to follow.

[@BeckVMH]

Thanks for addressing the manual release of the bail after casting 4:45. Folks seem to not clarify that technique or why manually doing so is beneficial.

Excellent job 👏 and I would really appreciate some insight on how to keep the line from constantly moving?

[@racerxv6valvoline424]

I watched it because I wanted to see if I had any bad techniques. So far I do exactly as you showed. The one thing I have started in the last couple years when I do throw a spinner is the manual flipping of the bail. I never used to do that and then started to. I also use my left hand to feather and then palm the line as opposed to my right index finger. Thanks Chuck for all your videos. Had another tough weekend on the lake this weekend. Lake Russell, S.C. wind was blowing 20-30Kt and it made for a tough day of fishing. 9 and change won the tourney....i bagged 2 for a total weight of 2.46

Need to show how to switch the crank to the right side, like all fishing reels set up for right handed fisherman. Why would you give up the control and precision of using your dominant hand?

After I cast my line, I have to hold onto the line with one hand and my pole with the other hand, because I'm blind. This way, I feel the bite. By the way, I have a Shimano 7ft spin-rod and reel combo, that I've just purchassed for the upcomming fishing season come Spring time! Thanks for the tip on what line to get!

[@lancer525]

When I was a teenager, I had a spinning reel that had a little handle on it, so that when you wound the handle backwards, it would come to the top, and when you extended your index finger to pick up the line, you pulled that lever and it opened the bail. I have no idea what this feature is called, and I can't find a single spinning reel in any tackle store, fishing equipment store, or sporting goods store anywhere that has this function. What is that called, and where can I find a reel with it?

[@ChuckPippinBassFishing]

I remember those. I can’t remember what they were called, but Shimano makes something similar: amzn.to/3TlF5ZM

[@lancer525]

@@ChuckPippinBassFishing Awesome, that's exactly what it looked like (except mine was a Daiwa reel that was red black and blue.) Little bitty thing. Couldn't put more than 8 pound line on it, or it wouldn't cast. Fantastic! Thank you!
