Ott, for years I have been putting tension on the spool with my thumb. I'm 70 years young and have never seen anybody explain how you just showed us to fix a overrun. This is going to save time and money for all of us.🎣🐟🦌🦃

[@michaelloucks4448]

Hey Mr bailey I was doing it the same way you were hey Mr b these guys are awesome they find the most efficient ways to do everything. Hey Mr bailey God bless you and your family your pal fisherman Mike

[@camomano2]

That's the most valuable tip I've heard in years. Thanks Ott. Tom

[@markjusick9639]

Ott, This is the best tip I have seen that all level of fisherman can use. Thanks!

[@Skurtz007]

Best tip I’ve EVER gotten in thousands of hours of watching (just ask my wife) fishing videos. Thank you. Thank you!!!

[@OttDeFoeFishing]

Glad to help!

[@tomwiechert2799]

Boy Howdy OTT You taught this old dog a new trick :) Thanks !!

[@dmack1962]

Thank you Ott for the tips this really helps when I get my next backlash I am going to use this technique. Thanks again. God Bless

[@keithpinkerton2933]

Cannot believe i have never seen this before. Thanks. I will be giving this a try

[@rick4649]

Thank you for this great tip. I don’t get backlashes often but when I do typically they are pretty bad. I’m confident I can get them out much easier now.

[@mikesturgill4846]

Thanks Ott! Gonna use this on the next one. Im usually so paranoid about line damage if its a bad one id just cut it out in case it made weak spots in my line. You just saved me a ton of money not buying more line than i needed to! Thanks for sharing buddy!!

[@tommywalker741]

Never thought to use the spool tensioner knob thanks i appreciate it 🙏

[@micropterus5868]

Spool tension knob! This is the key to successfully fixing the backlash! Thank you Ott!

[@billljones979]

Awesome tip , tightening the tension spool something I never think of

[@johnpodolak5958]

I've watched a bunch of these and this is the best I've seen! Thanks Ott!!

[@davidgonnerman2902]

Good reminder of the best way to handle a backlash!! Thanks Ott!!

[@FishingWithCotton]

That’s actually a pretty good tip thanks buddy. Also the way I’ve been doing it for years now is taking the line in each of my fingers of my hands and pulling them apart to separate the line then real in the slack.

[@harrybuzinski3334]

I've never seen that before, awesome tip Ott, Thanks 😊 👍 have a great season.

[@JB-ms9du]

If you have your tension dialed in and don’t want to touch it you can loosen the drag, engage the reel, pull the line not too hard and get the same result.

[@fryeguy9939]

Thanks a million.. Now that was a great tip ... Never seen that before.. WOW .. THANKS AGAIN. The Frye Guy..

[@Eyesofthasouth]

Thanks! I’m gone out in the yard right now to do a jerk cast to make a birds nest so I can try this!

[@richardj6593]

Best tip ever.. saves line and time

[@davelerner8461]

Great tip, thanks Ott as that will help everyone a bunch!

[@MrDoItAll91]

😯 simply amazing 🤩 Thanks Ott!!

[@joshodin19]

Outstanding! I never thought about doing that, but it makes sense! I will definitely do that next time!

[@michaelloucks4448]

Hey Mr defo outstanding thank you for the great tip I was always doing it the way you said not to do it . GOD bless you and your family your pal fisherman Mike.

[@jolenemanion3780]

Outstanding TIP Ott, thank you SO much.

[@MrJohnB-qs6dp]

Thanks for that great video!!!👊🏻 That was one of the simplest ways shown and much appreciated!!👍🏻 Stay safe & God Bless!!!

[@fullsendfishing2363]

Fantastic tip !

[@chunkeymunkey7214]

This video saved my rod thank you ott

[@brianperry4521]

Good video!!! Definitely will put this technique to use.

[@wesleymerritt1765]

I knew that knob was good for something other than taking up the slop in the spool now I know , can you give us a demonstration of how that's done in a 15-20 mph wind? That's where it happens to me not in my garage.... Just kidding great tip Ott keep'em coming !

[@pirate7646]

[@OttDeFoeFishing]

[@billdye3530]

Great info. I usually break out the pocket knife after tears start to flow.

[@OttDeFoeFishing]

😂 we’ve all been there!

[@jimhalleran6239]

Outstanding! Thanks.

[@bradwise7698]

Thank you Ott

[@RHINOIDING]

As a professional backlasher myself I have found that if you're on the water if you feed the line into the water as you pull it off the reel it will never wind knot as I are reeling up app that slack line

[@OttDeFoeFishing]

Yes that helps too

[@GmanfromTexas]

Great tip. Thanks

[@karlhicks1838]

Great tip Otter thanks

[@wglennhowells]

Super helpful, really appreciate this one

[@jl5332]

Wow, where was this video when i first started. Main reason i went to braid was because of the backlashs I couldn't get out..always ended up cutting the line out of frustration...

[@emersonbiggins3526]

Awesome info!

[@geneussery8968]

THANK YOU OTT.........

[@mikearcher6239]

Great stuff……thanks for this!!

[@adamblomeke2609]

Will this tip work with braided line as well? I’ve been having a lot of issues with backlashes with braided line.

[@scottjenkins8273]

Good deal on this thanks Ott

[@greenpighunter6930]

Nice

[@scottlewis1205]

I’ve been doin it wrong for about 45years

[@JamesKellyJohnson5]

Niice 🧐

[@stevenwalker9013]

I got the worst one I ever seen the other night. Went to cast and my crankbait hooked another rod I had standing in a vertical rod holder. Wasted all that brand new Fluorocarbon.

[@brettwalton8131]

Now show me with braid😄😄😄
