How to Cast a Baitcaster Reel FAR - Proper Reel Tuning - KastKing Speed Demon Pro

[@_gw33do_]

This is how I set my reel up and it's money, small adjustments for different lures but for the most part one and done. Thumb control is important too

[@rawrfishing]

Thumb is always important 👍👍

[@johnthroop2092]

You make it look so easy,lol! I am amazed how everyone but myself can precisely know exactly when to hurry and use your thumb to stop it so it will not backlash! I guess it's all about timing, I mostly seem to fail and it's frustrating!

[@rawrfishing]

easy? was it because the spinning round house kick cast? LOL. The key is to first figure out how to setup the brakes and cast it so that it will come out and not backlash. it wont' go far, but from there you lower your brakes and then listen and watch. you will get it trust me! you can try spooling up with 14 lb mono and practice. it's cheaper and easier to un-knot compared to thinner lines. use lures that can cast easily and not screw up by catching air as described in the video.

[@crisjones7923]

When I stared using baitcasters years ago I almost quit because of how it seemed that no matter what I did I would still get nasty birdsnests. I stayed with it though and now I would never go back to spinning gear for most situations. It really has a pretty long learning curve, but stick with it and you will never go back.

[@gizmocarr3093]

The advantages of making a long cast are helpful for many situations. However, casting to close targets first before making longer ones catches more fish on average. The reason is you may be missing fish much closer and may spook ones you might have caught. Light spool tension provides less drag and friction on the reel spool improving distance. However, too little causes spool vibration and causes excessive wear to the reel. A slight amount of spool tension will reduce the sound and wear on the reel. During a day of fishing it might require adding slightly more as the tension often loosens. Cleaning and adding a drop of lubricant to the ends of the spool reduces wear and friction. Recommending running dry bearing doesn’t mean neglecting lubing the contact points of the spool. Reels use in dirty water conditions need more attention than ones used in clear water conditions.

[@rawrfishing]

very wise suggestion! Often enough people target far and never close. I flip and pitch frogs before too in spadderdocks by the bank that is in front of me as snakeheads always hide in there. they just don't bite as often, but they do lurk and most people would find out that they spooked one or two walking close to the banks. But this weekend i landed a 7lber casting and close to spooling myself with this reel. saw the pod of babies and then this huge submarine came out of no where like a whale. it paused when it surfaced and then flared it's fins with a perfect mohawk! I made my cast and landaed 2 feet from the pod, dragged my lure over it and it blew up on it so hard! Oh yeah some of my cheaper reels with no clicker on the tension knob seems to loosen up fastest. Normally at the end of my fishing session i notice it loosened a bit and more backlashes. So every time i go out, i always check at the start of my trip and re-tune the reel.

[@rawrfishing]

Different reels have different capabilities. But what dictate casting in a baitcasting reel is the spool size (weight, diameter and width) and spool bearing size and quality. Even the oil/grease within the bearing! Lastly, braking also does plays a role In Conjunction with your thumbing skills. If your reel is magnetic braking like this, try tuning it as I have portrayed and give it a shot with the lews. If needed... Remove the spool bearings, clean the thick factory lube out and put in thin oil instead.

[@Mann272]

@@rawrfishing yeah the abus diameter was lesser and could fit a lot more like, also lighter so that’s probably why it casted farther

[@rawrfishing]

I don't think adding more line would help unless you spool yourself. But adding more line means u add more weight to the total spool. May add more momentum so it spins longer... But I have a feeling it's your bearings. Try swapping to ceramic hybrid bearings and run em dry

although there is no one set answer as it really depends on the water you fish and how big/small of the lure you use... here's my typical way of fishing the things you have mentioned: texas rig and bottom jigs should be braid to leader or braid, for small jigs, u can get distance by braid to leader. for cranks, it's usually depends, most ppl would straight fluoro or mono depending on how you wanna handle depth. flukes. i use thin braid to leader material.

This isn't a finesse reel, but likely can cast that. 7 grams can definitely go over 30ft depending on line diameter. But I can't say how far exactly as I only use this solely for frogs from 10 grams and up with thick diameter lines. Last year I have slayed many fish doing so

No problem man! I had a lot of requests for this so I thought I would do something for my viewers ^_^

[@Shurmash]

Overfilling the spool is an overlooked reason why backlashes happen because it has too much inertia (heavier spool). Making sure you don't fill it past 1/8 of an inch below the spool helps with performance significantly. Reduced inertia also means the brakes can be more effective because they don't have as much weight to stop. This also of course means you probably won't have to use as much force to get the same if not greater distance. Tight lines out there!

[@rawrfishing]

It can be the case indeed for some spools and braking systems. This spool here is light and allows frogs to fly! I can spool myself filled to the rim on 40lb braided line

Speed demon was my first proper baitcasting reel and i bought the pro version too. I normaly prefer jdm reels shimano and daiwa. On my last fishing trip I got a bad snag and lost substantial braid on my exsence dc and decided to bring out speed demon pro as backup. During my casting I was amazed to see it challenged exsence dc in distance and even better with ease of casting thumb free , amazing and the whining sound coming from magnets almost give you a dc like sound. Check my latest video it was fun !

The pro is a great performing reel and casts far. Too bad the elite took a huge turn opposite direction... 😪

@@InfinityFishing I think they wanted a more refined braking. Usually centrifugal are better, especially what they offered on paper. But I just couldn't find the right tuning. I think the way I Adjust the tension knob and braking is only for magnetic braking. Lol

Spooled! On 40 lb braided line. Close to max capacity. So its a ton

[@breakintips9896]

I think you’re casting all your lying off of your real because the spool is very shallow. I think it holds like 40 yards of line right? Those are JDM, which means they make it easier to cast lighter weight bait which means throwing a frog will definitely de spoil you right??

[@rawrfishing]

No way! The speed demon Pro is not a BFS Reel and it's Not JDM. KastKing is an American based company that develops their goods in China. Feel free to carefully watch the video. You will see that it's not a shallow spool at all.

It really depends on what you fish for and where. I often use 20 to 30 lbs for open water frogging for bass. Now let's change it up a bit, you have swamp bush, thick weed, toothy fish and pads bigger than your upper body... what would you want to use? I don't mind using 30, but I would tie on a thicker leader braided line to ensure a big giant toothy guy won't bite through in one go! I only fish two ways.... thin lines with all my light tackle and then thick for frogs... but to be honest, I use 40 to 50 and people say I need to use 65... all the pros use 65 to ensure they pull in their biggie... but that is too much
