Learning How To Use A New Baitcaster - Beginner Baitcaster Tips

Since I'm learning how to use a new baitcaster, its time to share some beginner baitcaster tips. This is my first time fishing with the Lews American Hero Left Hand Retrieve baitcast reel! I have been fishing with right hand retrieve reels for over 25 years. So this is like learning how to use a baitcaster all over again. The two most important tips for a beginner involve the tension and the magnetic brake. Using these beginner baitcaster tips, I am able to use the new reel without getting any backlashes. I also catch a few bass while I learn! I hope learning how to use a new baitcaster is a little easier with these beginner baitcaster tips.

[@BassRangerOutdoors]

Right on Alex!! You are always challenging yourself and that's why I like your channel so much!! Left hand retrieval is like bouncing a basketball you have to get use to it with practice!! Great job and wow that lipless craw color was working quite well!!

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks BRO. Can you believe some idiot said I was a groupie for trying something new like Left Hand Retrieve? Of course that dumb shit got banned. #nobullshit

[@BassRangerOutdoors]

Outstanding!! Its all in preference not whether or not you are a groupie...hilarious!! I can fish both right and left but prefer left handed its just easier for me. Well I am glad you tried something new and like I said thats what makes the channel so interesting to watch plus #nobullshit lol

[@jeffreylunday928]

You did a lot better casting left handed than I did. I bird nested that joker! Maybe some day I will try it again.

[@kevinmiller8053]

I'm right-handed and growing up using spinning gear the handle always seemed to be on the left side. That's what I was used to so when I made the jump to baitcasters, I opted for the left-handed retrieve. I don't have to switch hands after casting so no wasted motion. Your channel is quickly becoming one of my favorites. I do most of my fishing from the bank also. Keep up the good work and keep reeling them in!

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks Kevin. When distance casting with my right hand retrieve, the switch over happens while the lure is in the air. However, I pitch with my left arm so no crossover is needed. 👍

[@ifishcatfish]

man its amazing how u don't even have a single thumbs down. There are so many jerks that will give u a thumbs down for silly things, but somehow even they don't bother you. That's a testament to the quality of the channel.

[@RealisticFishing]

Oh don't worry, they'll be here. I get a few dedicated thumbs down dumb-asses on this channel.

[@brothergrimaldus3836]

I switched to all left hand. My son too. After using spinning reels for years, it just felt more natural.

[@nikonelson3186]

Same here! I bought my first online but went to sportsman’s warehouse before and played with a bunch and came across the same thing. Kind of confused me but it just felt weird in my left hand

[@SiDeWiNdA219]

I just bought my first one yesterday and made sure to get a lefty cuz iv always used lefty retreive spinners...like u said...just feels more natural

[@fishin2themax245]

My son in law convinced me last year to switch all (spinning and baitcasters) to left retrieve. Reaction time is significantly better since no time wasted switching hands...you are ready for that bite immediately when bait hits the water. Nice job showing set up, too👍

[@kurtisw7034]

Just discovered this channel today. This is my third video I've seen and im definitely gonna have to subscribe. Great content, not a sellout whatsoever, and he picks up trash that other people dumped! What a guy.

[@DoWorkChopper]

The trash always happens to be worm containers and or tangled line. Go figure lol. The bobber fisherman...

[@kurtisw7034]

DoWorkChopper damn bobber guys are giving us hog wranglers a bad name 😂🤙

[@bbinkley1861]

I’m glad you did a video like this, my first baitcaster is left hand retrieve. It was a gift from my father when I was a young fisherman in the 90s, still have it.

[@RealisticFishing]

Do you ever use it?

[@bbinkley1861]

Yes ,with some crank bait lures.

[@osvaldoumana4494]

Got my first baitcaster a few weeks ago....it was right hand retrieve.....i have my spinning rods setup for left hand retrieve.....using the right hand with the baitcaster was so look ackwards.....i had to return it....got me a left hand retrieve....and I love it.....nice video....

[@matthewturtle2597]

Today I used my left handed mach 1 lews baitcaster for the first time. I bought it 2 months ago but didn't know how to use it. Today I threw a rattle trap 1/4 oz. Lipless on it and I caught a 2.34 lbs bass. I tightened it up like you said and I caught a fish on my 8th cast. On my 11th cast I loosened up the break and got a birds nest. But it's awesome to learn and it's so much fun to cast. Thanks for the tutorial. I fished the rattle trap just like you showed

[@RealisticFishing]

I am glad you are figuring it out. Nice catch! 👍

[@fingerlakesfishing8086]

That was a great watch. I like how you pointed everything out as you showed the setup of the baitcaster as well as how you described the way you were working your lipless crankbait. I’m clueless beyond reeling them straight back when it comes to lipless and now I’ve got a new method to try. Thank you!

[@RealisticFishing]

Good luck out there 👍

[@fingerlakesfishing8086]

Would you be willing to allow me to contribute Closed Captions for your videos?

[@josephnywayfarer1345]

Great tips on dialing in a BC. Great job using a left handed reel. The advantage of a right handed person using a left handed BC is you don’t have to switch the rod to your other hand after the cast.

[@jerryrouth6115]

I retrieve my open faced spinning reel left handed all the time but I have never tried a casting reel left handed. My excuse has always been that when I cast right handed I use the right hand to hold the rod then I switch the rod to my left hand to retrieve right handed. On a long day switching the rod from one and to the other keeps one hand from getting tired. I know that when I use my spinning reel in the same hand all day it really gets tired. But this is a great idea you have. Great video and I may try it. Thanks as always, Jerry.

[@RealisticFishing]

I would like to be able to use either, just in case... 👍

[@413Outdoors]

once you go with a left handed reel you'll never go back, so much more convenient to not have to swap hands, especially when they're biting in the drop!! Keep it up brother!

[@pj0017]

Exactly it's the same way u use a spinning reel so much easier. I don't understand why people do it backwards

[@jpgtr84]

I just got a "new to me" baitcaster combo so I am revisiting this video. As always you are a great help!

[@winstonrose8768]

This is exactly how I learned to use a bait caster reel. I got a black max about five months ago and because of your videos I got one of those premier tournament whatever-the-f**cks for thirty bucks on Amazon and I absolutely love it. Now I'm casting with no breaks and just my thumb and I can pitch really accurately. Never thought I'd get this good at bait casters but practice really pays off. Also great job on getting that fish released. Bloody fish gotta get in the water asap to have any chance at survival and it looks like you got him off and then promptly got him in the water. He lost some blood which isn't great but your quick thinking probably raised his chance of survival by about 60%. It sucks I've actually killed fish before when I was younger and I didn't know what I was doing but you're an A+ fish doctor. Keep on slaying brother sorry this is a long comment but forgot to mention those were some SOWBELLY BASS :)

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks Winston, I try not to hurt the fish when I can avoid it.

[@jca245]

I started saltwater surf casting when I was very young. My Dad swore by Penn reels so I learned to cast with my right hand and retrieve with my left. It was awkward to use a reel with a right-hand retrieve. I had to cast with my right, then hand off the rod to my left hand and crank with my right. I guess I got used to doing it the first way. Good job on the fishing. Learning to use a bait caster from a spinning reel was fun also.

[@KennyFishbone]

Thanks. Glad you showed it twice...saves backing up!

[@DevinDFishing]

Dude, GREAT video!!!! I use a right hand retrieve on my baitcaster because I’m right handed. Those lipless are killer specially the red craw kind. I’ve been using a swimbait with underspin on my baitcaster lately and today I caught my PB bass! I cannot WAIT to post the video it was a giant. Super sunburnt but super worth it

[@RealisticFishing]

Good job on the PB 👍

[@DevinDFishing]

Realistic Fishing thanks! It weighed in at 4 pounds and 14 oz. not huge but definitely big for the river I fish around here!

[@robertchillcott7669]

Thanks for the video. You're wearing those fish out with that Rattle Trap. Baitcasters are a real pleasure to fish with, the first time I tried to fish with one I was snapping it like you would when casting a Spinning Reel and didn't know how to properly set one up.......so you can imagine how that turned out. I did get good at picking backlashes out.

[@marlojohnston4217]

Great video Alex! You killed it fishing lefthanded for the first time!! You caught some really nice bass all while teaching us how to use the drag and magnetics. I use my left hand to reel, even though I'm a righty. It just feels better to me. Thank you for always keeping it realistic 🎣

[@606OnTheFly]

When I first started using a bait caster, I accidentally bought the same rod and reel in left handed retrieve. It is nice to be able to use both hands when reeling now! Great video

[@MarcPipistrello]

I'm also a righty. When I started using bait casters again, I went right for the left hand retrieve reels. I have two Black Max lefty reels. I found it easy because my spin rods and fly rods (pre-Tenkara) were all left hand retrieve.

[@MegaNafo]

thanks , I just bought a first time baitcaster and learned from this video how to use it , I hope it will be not too many backlashes

[@RealisticFishing]

Good luck!

[@KG_85]

After fishing spinning reels for 20 years I switched to a baitcaster and almost got a left handed one. Glad I did some research first. Also, thanks for introducing me to the yoyo technique! Keep on fishing bud!

[@garydirks8223]

Nice job again RF. It's impressive that you're using different methods and techniques in your videos with success. My baitcaster is calling me now. Just been collecting dust.

[@RealisticFishing]

The fish are waiting 👍

[@kevintebo3736]

That's awesome. I am still working on casting right handed. 3 fish great start.

[@RealisticFishing]

Keep on going 👍

[@tywinngton8384]

Nice I’m also right handed but i like the way lefty feel.

[@jakeyjake6642]

Great video, I’ve also thought about picking up a left hand baitcaster. And yeah craw lipless cranks are the way to go in spring

[@RealisticFishing]

Give it a try. Its a little awkward, but I got it to work. 👍

[@SirNBK75]

I truly enjoy your channel. I like your down to earth approach.

[@lousyfisherman2659]

That first catch was so exciting! Great video/tutorial. Your channel is my favorite.

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks Lousy Gamer 👍

[@thebacklasher8426]

It's crazy how much of a difference it is when you learn the other hand! I only use left handed reels but I've seen some great deals on right handed reels on craigslist and places like that. I might have to take the plunge

[@RealisticFishing]

Versatility can only help 👍

[@hook_em_up_kid7426]

44 yrs old been fishing 30+ yrs got my first baitcaster today 😂 I bike / backpack fish smaller ponds/lakes from bank so spinners been fine for how I fish but need to get more well rounded ...thank God for these vids tho and nice outting learning opposite handed pretty sweet 🎣

[@hook_em_up_kid7426]

Forgot to add it came to 57.31 total for cherrywood Berkeley 7'0 med action rod w/ black max reel , pack of ned worms , pack of yum craw , jawbone spinnerbait , and a big ole 2$ jawbone bluegill swimbait so hope I done ya proud 🎣

[@schoolboy405]

Hook_em_up_kid 74 where at???

[@paulradke5803]

Nice! Its really cool that your learning both hands! It really comes in handy when your in rough situations. Love your videos keep it up!

[@RealisticFishing]

Thats what I am hoping Paul. Thanks for watching 👍

[@codymoffett2173]

This is a pretty cool video... I've been doing a left hand retrieve with my spinning gear my whole life, it just feels natural. The first time I picked up a baitcaster I had to switch over to a right hand retrieve, that felt much more natural, for whatever reason. Watching your video though makes me want to try the left hand retrieve on a baitcaster.

[@j.t.cooper2963]

I've got one of those red lipless like that. It's a killer in spring. Had to watch this one again.

[@RealisticFishing]

👍

[@HookLineandKyleP]

Nicely done. I am a lefty, Maybe I should switch to a right hand, and give that a shot. Love your channel. Keep the challenges coming. I love watching them.

[@jeffmattocks7081]

I always watch your channel. You have very informative help. Thanks again keep it realistic.

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks Jeff

[@michaelmesser4555]

Always look forward to what you are gonna try next. Never thought about a left hand baitcaster even though I reel open face left handed.

[@Andys_Toy_Adventure]

Nice video. I have moved to a left hand retrieve baitcaster for when I fish soft plastics it was natural for me to cast with my right hand just when I use spinning gear.

[@RealisticFishing]

Do you use right hand or left hand to reel a spinning rod?

[@Andys_Toy_Adventure]

Realistic Fishing I reel left handed with spinning as well. I used spinning the way it was usually set up when I bought it. I always get confused why what is right handed changes between spinning and casting. For what it is worth I am right handed for writing and such as well.

[@RealisticFishing]

I am right handed too but prefer reeling with my right on both spinning and casting. So strange 🤔

[@Andys_Toy_Adventure]

Realistic Fishing I am always interested in knowing why people fish or handle rods and reels a certain way. I just started fishing a year ago and am always interested in learning new ways and methods. That is why I really like your channel because you try new things and aren’t afraid to keep it realistic. 😃

[@LukeBarnes5150]

And this is the exact reel I got today!!! Thanks for making this video big time man!

[@RealisticFishing]

👊

[@twotoned2774]

Great video. A little late but better late than never. Great job using the left hand. I use all my reels right handed

[@charlesgeorge4391]

I have a couple of left handed bait caster and love them you did great first time using one.

[@larryjones5295]

Great video look very challenging nice Bass can't wait for the next video

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks Larry 👍

[@fishingdad2_32]

This is great. Have been thinking about getting a left handed reel to “try” to be more efficient at flipping and pitching. Thanks for the vid. I can’t pick my nose left handed so I’m sure it won’t go as well as you did.

[@dannyk4153]

Ive been waiting for this video i used the same color lipless crankbait yesterday and i got skunked with it great videos as always man

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks for watching Danny

[@tw1268]

You did great for your first time doing left hand retrieve. My first bait caster was left hand retrieve and I had to manage because being a kid you gotta make do with what ya got. Or at least I did anyways. Good job 👍

[@RealisticFishing]

👍

[@hitnmiss49]

Very good video on setting up and using a baitcaster. Thanks, Lonnie

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks for watching Lonnie 👍

[@owenpm3]

I just bought my first baitcasting setup, this helped out immensely. I was worried about the super short casts I was doing because I had everything cranked down like you said but it looks like that's not a problem. I might have to try out one of those red craws, my shad colored lipless wasn't doing it.

[@RealisticFishing]

I am glad it helped. Keep on practicing and do it however it feels comfortable for you. Then you can go for distance 👍

[@gldrifter3161]

Thanks for the baitcaster 101👍👍 Been meaning to pick one up for this season.

[@RealisticFishing]

Give it a try 👊

[@stevedimond267]

Nice. I finally got 2 bass at a canal by my house. Ned rig. First time I caught a bass on anything artificial. Good job man.

[@RealisticFishing]

You too! Good job on the ned rig bass.

[@HankSnowgrandslamfishing]

Nicely done Sir. I use left handed reel as I have always reeled my spinning reels with my left hand. I can throw and use the right handed reels if I need to. I have some nice reels in both retrieves so it is good to be ambidextrous that's for sure. I find when you don't have to switch over to reel righty you have more ability to catch those quick biting fish. Also looks like that lipless crank bait is killing it for you. Thanks for the video.

[@Thorntonz_]

This helped me so much I just got a baitcaster and have been scrambling to find a good video

[@RealisticFishing]

Don't give up on it 👍

[@bassnazi4713]

Awesome, always tell people about that combo for the price to get started with a casting set up. Already getting the flood watches here in Alabama going into the stormy weekend. Glad you got to use it before all this hits, cold air after will slow it down a bit.

[@RealisticFishing]

I am sure it will. This weather has been all over the place 😂

[@BingeCenter]

Awesome day man! Thanks for teaching us!

[@PastorG16]

Because of a wrist injury, I have to now use lefty gear. I bought a Abu Garcia blackmax & a kastking whitemax. The whitemax seems easier to use, but I caught 2 on the Abu Garcia yesterday...jig with a craw trailer & a ribbed worm with a small spinner trailer. The transition was easier than I thought

[@nicnelson8963]

It is easy to learn to how to use both retrieves just practice!! Awesome video

[@RealisticFishing]

Oh, you can use both right and left handed reels with ease?

[@nicnelson8963]

Realistic Fishing yes you just need practice I have a heavy setup and I use a left for that reel

[@c0ker666]

For the longest time I fished with a right-hand retrieve baitcaster and left-hand retrieve spinning reel. But about a year ago I switched to left-handed retrieve baitcaster and it felt much better. Also, I no longer have to switch hands after casting.

[@WickedDealer]

Been fishing Left handed since I learned how to fish with a spinning rod around 8-9, feels weird to reel with my right.

[@RealisticFishing]

Ok then 🙂

[@catohostilius1221]

Lipless crank king at it again lefty style! Good stuff man keep em coming.

[@RealisticFishing]

I'm still learning 😀

[@justreeoutdoors6774]

Great job on the left handed retrieve. Thanks for the tips on adjusting a baitcaster. Nice bass Alex. 👍🎣

[@bonzogoTrump]

you did great my friend. with a little bit of practice you'll be a pro on a left hand reel. a baitcaster is my next purchase thanks for the tips

[@RealisticFishing]

Give it a try, its a fun learning experience 👍

[@kevincalhoun211]

Love watching this dude

[@RealisticFishing]

👍

[@jpboy1399]

I wish I saw your tutorial when I learned how to use a baitcaster, would have saved me some line, and aggravation! Thanks Alex. KIR!

[@Tonofbrickz]

Thank very much for the no B. S. !!!!! Easiest way I’ve seen on how to use a bait cast reel. I gonna get one!!! Again thx!!!!

[@RealisticFishing]

Good luck!

[@PaintballShyguy]

Trying out my first baitcaster tomorrow, it's also a Lew's lefty. I'm right-handed but been using spinning reels left-handed so I bet it will feel right (hur hur). Thanks for the tips 👍🏻

[@charleslist9900]

Great video, I have one left hand retrieve bait caster and it is a challenge. I just wish I had as much success with it as you did.

[@RealisticFishing]

A lot of right hand experience counts for something. I know how the baitcaster works, I just need to practice the movements 👍

[@scottkidder8631]

I liked this one, I am a total right hander but my mom who is a lefty taught me to fish so I honestly thought this was the way to use a baitcaster (ans spinning reel) my whole life up until a few years ago. I have since learned the "right" way lol but yes it felt really wonky at first.

[@timzajac]

Good tips for bait caster set up. I never thought to try a bait caster left handed but my spinning set ups are both set up to reel left handed. I guess I just assumed that was the way it was supposed to be when I bought them. Thanks for the info!

[@1117aaronc]

Always good to be able to fish both left and right handed. Good vid man keep it up!

[@Im_RDavis]

Yet another great vid man! I myself am trying to learn how to use a bait caster. I will defiantly use your knowledge.

[@JaxBaron]

Im right handed and all of my bait casters are left handed. I prefer have the rod in my dominant hand. Awesome upload.

[@doubleagent1851]

JaxBaron Ik it makes more since for your dominate hand to be fighting fish and holding most of the rods weight that’s why I use left retrieves and I’m right handed

[@JaxBaron]

Double Agent44 great minds think alike!

[@bobzilla6618]

It's so messed up, but I'm a leftie, and I can't fish left-handed.It just doesn't feel right for some reason. Kudos to you Mr. Realistic Fisherman!

[@RealisticFishing]

I know exactly what you mean 😅

[@FishingWithBIGD]

I just bout a left handed retrieval , good timing for this video, I struggled the hour but got the hang of it... nice bass also

[@AOKUrbanHomestead1]

I am so glad Nathan sent you to my channel so now I can come support you

[@TheFishDimension]

Funny that most open faced reels are left handed retrieve but it still feels awkward to me to use a baitcaster that way. But you did it man, I'd say those bass were a real nice way to break in a new one and left handed no less! Nice! You always get such good results with those lipless cranks. Gonna get a cheap little baitcaster as a sort of beater rod soon, so the tips are gonna come in handy!

[@RealisticFishing]

I hope it works for ya 👍

[@oregonuplands8687]

Man that lipless was putting in work ! Great video man keep it realistic.

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks Uplate Games 👍

[@firefighter4free]

What dominant hand casting and non dominant retrieve gets you is when finesse fishing you get a lot of bites on the drop and you can miss those bites during that split second of hand cross over. But of course personal pref rules. Most of us have had RH for years. As I upgrade tho I went to LH reel for the drop bite misses.

[@RealisticFishing]

I pitch with my left hand so I dont have the cross over.

[@firefighter4free]

Of course you can do that...again personal pref rules..for new anglers and kids need to know they have a choice at that point. For me I’m more precise and more sensitive in my dominant.

[@FarkyDave]

I just bought my first baitcaster today, so I watched this one again. I am trying to figure out the settings to get it to retrieve. I’m gonna try the settings tomorrow morning.

[@RealisticFishing]

the "drag star" right next to the handle determines how strong it will retrieve

[@royalflukes4148]

thats awesome man i almost bought a left handed combo johhny morris 2.0 from bass pro when they went on sale but didn't want to learn to fish left handed..guess that was a mistake after watching you slay them today lol... but after a couple months of practice you should do another video on left hand and see how much easier it is to use

[@RealisticFishing]

I might try it here and there just to become more versatile. 👍

[@waynesimmerson5018]

I only fish left handed. Being right handed my right arm is stronger and more dexterous. It gives me a more solid grip on the rod and more control on the spool. I also don't have to worry about missing a fish because I was passing the rod to the other hand.

[@RealisticFishing]

Being right handed has little to do with your arm being stronger. In fact many right handed people have a stronger left arm and consider themselves right handed because of accuracy with small things like a pencil. I also dont worry about missing fish while passing the the rod because it can happen before the lure even hits the water.

[@s.a.w.s.5079]

Keep it up my man, good video as always. Always interesting to see you use somethin new

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks Ben 👍

[@evannazario331]

Although it’s not really in this video, I really like how you don’t videotape working the Bait in cast after cast until you get one.

[@dave3897]

Another great video man. I’d love to fish with you one day. Your style will help the new generation of anglers find confidence in themselves and feel that that they don’t need drones and high end equipment to enjoy fishing. Tight lines and cold beer brother.

[@RealisticFishing]

Thats what I am hoping Dave 👍

[@sethjohnsonoutdoors4055]

Very informative video 📹 👍 and good fish caught 👍

[@M3tal_matt]

Hell ya dude nice first fish on the left handed setup!!! I also have been killin it with a lipless crank for about the last week. Very fun but to get on!!

[@RealisticFishing]

👍

[@stevenbrown7042]

That's a good idea to learn to be ambidextrous. I had a situation today where the easiest way to cast was over my left shoulder and failed miserably. I was using a spinner though.

[@blanketmobbypants]

You guys on here baitcaster made me buy on. This definitely showed me what I did wrong. Thank you brother!

[@marshallhurt8814]

Great video as always, good teacher buddy !Nicely done!I use a left hander .You did good with a left hander. Keep up the great work buddy!

[@lazarogarcia2122]

I’ve been bass fishing for less than a year. My first baitcaster is for a right handed person but I’ve been curious to try this.

[@RealisticFishing]

If you are used to the one you have, it might feel strange 😅

[@daniellozano9307]

Very informative I've always wanted to fish with a bait caster I've never been able to get any distance .

[@whitetribe6424]

Just learning to use a baitcaster we mainly fish with left hand reel over here in Britain 👍.

[@lolmetswhathappeneduhhh2029]

Might as well say 4 bass since you were gonna release it anyway. Pretty impressive haul with the "off hand". It feels sooooooo weird when I try to fish with a right hand retrieve on a spinning reel. It's like my hand is having to learn the motion. But oddly enough, couple weeks ago, that got me my first crankbait fish ever.

[@RealisticFishing]

Some people use right hand reel for baitcaster, but left for spinning. Its the same motion... thats so strange. Nice job on the crankbait fish. 👍

[@Poffer021]

Nice job with the left handed retrieval and great tips nice bass as well keep up the great content! 👊

[@nystatepatriot7753]

I have the same combo but right hand retrieve. Awesome rig for the price

[@RealisticFishing]

👍

[@toddmcdonnell8279]

Thanks for the tips!

[@RealisticFishing]

Hope they help 👍

[@i2aspire]

Good job on no back lash, I'm right handed but I always reel with my left hand

[@RealisticFishing]

Crazy how its a mix. I wonder how lefties do it?

[@josmorrison1]

Thanks man love your videos

[@RealisticFishing]

👍

[@rickb6694]

Moved onto this vid after the last baitcaster vid I commented on and it's the combo I just got, go figure. It has the ugly (imo) tan camo, but the price was unbeatable. For a baitcaster noob it's perfectly fine. Got the left hand one too since I'm used to spinning gear and reeling with my right hand just felt weird lol

[@ThaHouse79]

That's a nice looking set up

[@RealisticFishing]

👍

[@samuelwarden6285]

Great video buddy I feel the same way when I try to use a spinning reel with it on the left side. I know some say it's wrong but I can't help the way i learned how to fish with them. Oh and gotta love them Cotton Cordells 👍

[@RealisticFishing]

Anyone who tells you its wrong is an ass. Fish how you want to 👊

[@samuelwarden6285]

Realistic Fishing Thanks 👊
