Tuning Your Baitcaster to Prevent Birds Nest

In this video demonstration, I show you how to properly tune your bait-caster by making subtle adjustments to the cast control mechanism and the spool tensioner knob located on the right side of the reel. The most common types of brake systems on today's reels usually are magnetic brakes, centrifugal brakes, or pin. By adjusting the brake system you can control the speed of the spools revolution which gives you ultimate control and helps eliminate birds nest AKA backlash. My goal for this video is to help you learn how to master your reel. Adjusting the tensioner will help control the velocity of the lure, ideally, you should be able to free spool your reel and the lure should fall to the ground without backlash. Make adjustments until you reach the desired speed. If you like this video, please give a thumbs up, share, and subscribe.

Checkout my "How to Cast a Baitcaster" video I just made: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYOcZ2Omq9RoosU

[@nikko7507]

G D Hey Josh . This was an excellent video . I have a Abu Garcia 7001 and I’ve just started practicing in a field . It’s been great so far , although I did had one small birds nest ,but came out of it ok 😌 Also I’m so glad that finally somebody has explained what the spool tension dial knob and brake dial knob on a reel are for in simple terms , as some people get to technical about them !

[@Funkyluv]

Thumbs up 👍🏾 thanks for the tips.

[@danaparks8812]

Some of the baitcasters have braid spooled on them from the store. What I'm wondering is, are all baitcasters braid ready, or is there something to apply to a bare spool that grabs the braid better, like some spinning reels have?

[@Ambitious2dream]

Bro I have had a baitcaster for 6 years. Put it down because I couldn't find a videos on how to adjust and stop getting birds nest. FINALLY a step by step explaining. Your the real MVP lol

[@collecter3456]

You’re the REEL mvp. Come on you missed a pun right there!

[@nataliarobles6803]

The "REEL" MVP LOL YES🤣

[@stewartwickman4329]

Same. I never used one before, bought one and thought I broke it, took it off and put a closed reel on the pole. Now I'm going out now to use it.

[@SRTKOVA]

I can find like 40 Vids on it

[@IPeAnUtIDimebag]

@@SRTKOVA not this good

Same! Bought my first baitcaster- a Silver Max :D

[@KithandKings]

Inherited my dad's fishing equipment and came here to learn how to properly use his baitcaster before heading out to the lake on Friday. Thank you for these videos! I feel much more comfortable with this reel now and am looking forward to landing a big one that would've made him proud. Y'all are great!

[@antaries75]

I bought a bait caster and was about to give up and sell it until I saw this video!! Now I'm fishing like a pro!! Thank you so much for the instructional video!! This opened up a whole new world in fishing to me!

[@Saltyscales]

Show a little love ladies and gentlemen and hit the thumbs up. ;)

[@sponcer7600]

Salty Scales Hey man thank you so much this helped me so much before I was so frustrated I was regretting buying a bait caster. :)

[@michaeltait2276]

Very helpful

[@dakotakellett744]

Salty Scales great content really helped me just got a new bait caster today and I got back lash every time and watched this video went fishing practiced and had a great time doing it thanks I've never really enjoyed using a bait caster but now I do

[@dinoharrison5138]

So SORRY to inform you Capt. but there is this illness going around where peoples 👍's are broken so they Can't give it to you. Sad but true but they'll feel better when it's time for a give away. 😞

[@mradios4671]

Amazing video and thank you for sharing so much information. All the best wishes

[@brettstallbaum4185]

Finally a guy who explains the brake and tension setups. Thank you!

[@Saltyscales]

You are welcome!

[@gamer-dna]

Absolutely awesome tutorial; been fishing for years but yesterday I bought my fist baitcaster and birds-nested every cast. Watched a few other videos but none explained it like you did; now no more extra runoff on my reel! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!

[@Saltyscales]

You are welcome Charles, I am glad to help my friend.

[@Stingray7423]

Thank you! Great explanation, with no distracting background music! Very clear instructions that worked and I don't need to untie the nest every cast!

[@d3l1c10uspancak3s]

Thank you so much! I've been fishing for a few years, but my father doesn't know much about fishing. My grandparents had recommended I do research since I want to learn and do more fishing, which I really enjoy, and this helps me a lot! Thanks!

[@jaysirivan8582]

I am new to the bait casting reel, fishing fresh water all my life and slowly getting back into fishing after 10 years absence. This video helped me understand and fine tune my new bait casting reel! Thanks so much. I am now excited to get out there on the water. FYI my first try before this video was a huge birds nest and I wasted brand new line, had to cut out the entire spool

[@skipc43]

Thanks for a simple, easy to understand video. I've been trying to learn to use a baitcaster for several years, and now I feel confident I can master it.

[@nickelboy2]

This is possibly the best video for people just learning to use baitcasters and keep getting the dreaded birdnest, fantastic job

[@DeuceDomino11]

Thanks for the video. I fished baitcasters as a teenager and switched to spinning reels for the past 20 years or so fishing trout streams and salt water. Now I am getting back into river fishing and need to have the variety of setups including baitcasters. I am too proud to ask someone to teach me this stuff again so this is a big help! Very simple and informative.

[@carterklein3345]

Great video! I am a very experienced bass angler but for many years I only used a spinning setup. I have started to get into bait casting and have gotten pretty decent at it too, but this video informed me on many things that I did not know about bait casting reels. Keep up the great videos!

[@jeffreyottinger3165]

Just can’t believe how simple it is when you get the right instructions! Truly thank you just taught a fisherman more fishing skills!!!

[@jasondean9626]

Just bought a baitcaster and this is the best video on the topic. Thank you.

[@lunatic-hz5pr]

Its been 14yrs since i have used a baitcasting reel, I just picked up a new one for my 47th birthday, it was just delivered this afternoon while I was at work, I am not kidding here when I say I just got home, spooled it up and I happened to see this tutorial, thanks so much for helping me fine tune my reel, I cant wait to try it out

[@Saltyscales]

+lunatic27 062309 Awesome, good luck with the new reel. Glad to help.

[@jonathangerber5144]

Thank you for making this video. I got my first Baitcaster and got a better understanding using the controls.

[@Saltyscales]

You are welcome!

[@richardderusha6879]

I’ve been getting so frustrated with my reel and this just made me 100% more confident in my bait caster. Excellent video you’re a great teacher, thank you 🙏

I like the way you put that video together. Simple and straight through to the point. It couldn't be any better!

Thank you, I appreciate it.

[@robertwilliam2052]

Except the part where he got distracted fishing. Lol jk I agree straight to the point!

[@martinfontana751]

Pretty simple explanation, thas what i need! thank you Joshua, greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina.

[@ertygenaan]

This video was exactly what i needed. I am really new to the baitcaster and i had exactly the nesting issues as described in the video. Apparently my settings were completely wrong, now i can finally enjoy my new rod to the fullest!

[@legit50s]

I bought a bait caster a few years ago and had that same problem so I sold it. Just picked up another one to try again and am glad I saw this video. Makes a ton of sense. Thanks!

Joseph Naden .

[@joshkahn9600]

Helped me a lot too. Just started using a bait caster and it backlashed on my second cast. I watched someone else’s video that had said to set it up looser. I’ll tighten it up, and give it another go. Really like this series.

[@christopherjahn4212]

5 years old, still VERY helpful!!! I’ve been getting frustrated, posting around knobs and not really knowing what I’m doing. Tried a few casts after, WAY better! More time for more practice. Thanks again!

[@tonybolognamacaroni383]

and 5 years later, I have to watch training vids for baitcaster. -_- Thank You!

[@Ok-rt8qk]

I just bought a 30lw cause the man in the store made it look easy now I'm watching videos and practicing in my backyard

Hoping to get to the water with my 1st baitcaster this year. I remember using my dad's as a kid - disaster. Hoping this will be better, thanks for the tips!

[@RobTheCloserRacing]

Great video. Just bought a baitcaster today and what you discussed with the birds nest is what I needed to know. Thanks.

[@jackocasablanca1229]

Finally, someone showed why I jacked up my baitcaster! I just got started and took all that for granted.

[@julioluna4041]

I just bought a baitcaster reel and I'm not so sure If will work for me but I will try!!! in your video looks so easy But I will start practice w a baitcaster and see how goes ..thanks for the video

[@rocketleague7307]

You deserve way more subs man. This video was crystal clear and very detailed thank you.

[@dunha1nj]

I’m finally going to get the bait caster out for the trip this weekend after letting it sit for years after first buying it. All thanks to this video

[@shadowlord17762]

Thank you so much for this detailed video. I got a biatcaster for Christmas and I just practiced with the prespooled rod and reel combo and I got a huge birds nest and I ended up cutting off all of the line and I'm going to put braid on it and hopefully I can start practicing again before spring hits.

[@2004OIFVET]

Great video, Finally get how it works. can't wait to go try it out.

I appreciate that Miller, glad to help.

[@KaustikCODEZ]

Never been fishing bought a cheapo baitcaster reel an this video made a world of difference. Never had a dad to teach me so it's been a lot of trial and error. But this and the casting video has taught me so much. Thank you!

[@The_Big_Soup3]

5 years later and i'm just getting into using a baitcaster. thanks for the tutorials man!

[@jimmybogdol6783]

Great tips..... wen it stops snowin here, I’ll try my new bait caster. ( always been a spinner reel guy)

[@shawnbeck2303]

Attention all fishermen! I am 59 years old. I have never fished with a Bait caster reel. I mean never even looked at One. I am a spin caster with a 2500 reel and a spin Ugly Stick medium heavy. 12 pound test mono and Braided line low vis green. Rattle Traps, Chartruse spinner baits, Senko's in Green Pumpkin color Texas rigged. My friend bought me a Quantum Pulse Bait caster reel and I bought a 6'6 medium heavy Ugly Stick. Today, I put the combo together. Put a Green Pumpkin shammy stick worm Texas rig on. My friend showed me how to adjust magnets and tension and drag. Let the lure drop by gravity! Set the magnets to 7 on the left side and then set the drag. Had a little trouble at first then got better and better and better caught 6 largemouth bass. Still spin tackle and reels have my heart. But,The Baitcaster is the bomb. Buttery smooth. Made the reel back lash so I could learn how to fix them. So, Fishermen get out there and learn how to use a baitcaster rod and reel. Why wait get started today. Watch this guy and set up your reel right. Then learn how to get The bird nest out. You Will Love it. I promise! See you at the lakes! SHAWN

[@albertthomas7295]

Some really good tips for using the baitcaster.. I have used bait casting reels for 45 years and I spin cast for finesse fishing of light baits....

[@addisonsmith3607]

I really appreciate this video. Got out this morning in between some work, made a couple nice cast then I slipped in the mud mid cast and birds nested. I need up having to put on new line. Back out there and started getting comfortable with my casting and went to task with my left hand and boom called another Birdsnest. Slowing it down and taking your advice on this one

[@anitatosser3408]

Thank you for this! I just bought a baitcaster and had several bird nests!!!

[@Saltyscales]

You're welcome

[@brandonvedquam7363]

I know this is an old video but it really helped out!!! Appreciate it! Keep up the good work!

[@Saltyscales]

It's older but KZbin promotes the heck out of it.

[@monicavanopdurp9853]

Thank you very much. I just bought myself a bait caster and I'm very thankful to you for explaining the adjustments. WOW

[@-ShootTheGlass-]

Nice job, I bought a baitcaster 6 months ago and only just now getting the courage to use it again after a mess of a first session. Takes getting used to that’s for sure.

[@machinegun3133]

I keep my magnetic breaks on the lowest setting. Once you get use to casting, you only need to adjust the spool tension in accordance with the weight of the lure or bait being used. Nice video

[@Saltyscales]

Machine Gun You are correct, thanks!

[@ALVINCAMPSR1]

I am a beginner at fishing, this is the most detailed explanation I've seen, explaining all of the functions of a baitcaster reel. I have started with spinning reel rods, which are less complicated. After watching your video, I feel more confident to purchase a bait casting reel!!! Thank you!!!

[@Saltyscales]

You're welcome

[@Daniel.lamere]

Great info, just got my first baitcaster and had no idea how to use it, now I feel a little more confident about it, thanks

[@derkaiser42o48]

Bought my first bait caster today, didn't realise this, but your vids helped me learn my spinner reel, now my bait caster 😁

[@ryanchampion8716]

I got so pissed off with my bait caster because it was tangleing all the time but home fully this works

[@shawneldridge4524]

🙋 even though I was brought up using a spinning reel once in a great while I do get a bird's nest or I should say I do get tangled now and then as well. It stinks but what can you do about it. Eventually does happen to all of us sooner or later. But anyway I definitely want to say thank you very much for posting on KZbin and sharing with everybody. Video is great.

[@ZAYZAYY27]

Nice video, Just picked my first baitcaster yesterday and this made me feel more confident for when i go hit the lake

[@debytakyeechan]

just bought my first baitcaster and rod and this video definitely help me understand a bit more the basics of each nob and how to set it up and good with demonstration as it is hard to see it in my head when the Bass Pro guy talked me through.... Thanks! :)

[@BOAExplore]

I've been putting off getting a baitcaster for years. but I finally bought one today. Thanks for your video. I'll try it out Saturday..........

[@Saltyscales]

Fantastic, you will be casting like a pro in no time!

[@mattburris7874]

Yes! Just got my bait caster in the mail. Real info here! I’m less intimidated and more excited to try it out. Will use these tips.

[@vendetta54]

Thanks for the video!! Now i understand it🔝

[@Saltyscales]

You're welcome!

[@andrewculver5045]

I've watched many vids on how to do this and this is the first one that actually helped, seeing every time I cast it becomes a rats nest. So thanks for the help and great vid.

[@Saltyscales]

You're welcome Andrew, glad to assist.

[@nathanpayette8000]

is a rats nest worst or better than a birds nest?

[@Jaak_the_Belgian]

Nathan, That depends on wether you like eggs?

[@Cambaudio]

Jaak LOL

[@beeshwax]

I get my baitcaster tomorrow and I’m rewatching all these videos as much as I can

[@strangecrew43]

You are a life saver, I got away from fishing at 17, I'm now 41 and for my birthday my buddy got me a Lew's MACH SMASH Baitcaster rod and reel combo and I have fallen in love with fishing again, now with your help I "reely" can't get enough. I'm fishing in my dreams lol. Thank you

[@pwool1058]

Awesome, love the way everything is explained in layman's terms.

[@travislouisseize7755]

First video I see that takes the time to properly explain the purpose of the brake and tension on the spool and how to adjust them correctly rather than saying oh just practice until you are good enough not to have back lashes

[@Saltyscales]

I try to break everything down the way I would want to learn. Thanks for the comment.

[@jonathancantu246]

love the video have a 80 dollar reel but always got bird nest so I stopped using it hope this helps

[@adrindazril3913]

Jonathan Cantu lol i just bought 40$ kastking reel...So far no back lash and birdnest...And it is soo smooth too

[@taylorreyes9667]

I’ve been using a spinning reel for as long as I can remember (I started fishing with my dad when I was 4 and now I’m almost 27). I’ve never really watched videos on how to fish because I’ve never really needed help... that is until I bought my husband a baitcaster thinking all fishing poles were the same. Boy was I wrong. We’ve been watching your videos to learn how to learn how to prevent backlash. Thank you so much for your videos haha.

[@yawzheek6722]

Just got a new baitcaster after over 10 years and I wish I had watched this before I took it out today because my rust was on full display! Thanks for this, dude!

[@dhalif]

Thank u for this video.. i am a beginner in fishing andnim trying to learn to use a bc.. helped alot.. i have a question tho.. when we buy line how much line do we put into tje spool

[@Saltyscales]

Fill the spool to where it is just below the beveled area on the spool. If you over fill you will have a terrible time with birds nest.

[@kylewoodring3225]

I just have the people in the store spool the line

[@SevenChapters]

Kyle Woodring yeah that’s always good. But ya kind if need to teach yourself how to do it.

[@steveesposito2031]

Wow thanks. I just figured out what the hell I did wrong. I Just started 4 weeks ago and my friend at work put on a new bait for me. I messed with the dials and a few days later it was nesting over and over. Now I know. Thanks bro.

[@Saltyscales]

Glad I could give some clarification, hope it helps.

Been fishing with spinning rods my entire life. Bought my first baitcaster today. Birds nested it so badly the first cast I was back to the spinning rod. Came home and watched this and honestly me liking and subscribing doesn't seem enough for the value I got. Thanks man

[@david_n2wheels568]

what pound test line do you recommend?

[@Saltyscales]

+David_ øn2wheels really depends on what you are targeting but 10 to 20 in most scenarious.

[@Saltyscales]

+Salty Scales also depends on how you are fishing.

[@paintbal789]

the problem i tend to have it with lighter lures. things such as frogs and spinners are easy but small swim baits tend to be much harder for me. any tips?

[@Saltyscales]

I'll try and put together a tutorial that should help.

[@elongatedmuskellunge9868]

Use a spinning reel

[@richardburgee6122]

Spinning reel if really light or really dial it in with the brake. U want the lure to not drop super fast

[@ryanadams6180]

There is a specific cast for that go check out flukemaster he has a vid on it

[@jasonobrien1607]

Day 1 with a baitcaster and it was nothing but birds nests. I should've watched this first! Very helpful. Thank you.

[@whitesalmon0925]

this is probably the best baitcasting reel tips I have seen on the internet, period.

[@Saltyscales]

Glad to help

[@mitchellhelms7238]

I have 2 black maxx and a pflueger casting reels,I can get a few good casts out of them and then they backlash just as many casts as I have good ones I have adjusted to no avail it's driving me nuts

[@Saltyscales]

That is interesting, I was going to say you may have a brake issue you but it's on two different reels, I could only equate it to user error. Do you have the cast control turned to the highest setting?

[@mitchellhelms7238]

Joshua Taylor I've tried everything with the black maxx it still does it but not as bad the pflueger I tried to get the slack out of spool but no good but I'll keep at it til I get it fixed I'm very determined to get it rite

[@huntingwithpride]

Mitchell Helms hey man I know your comments a month old but if this helps two buddies of mine bought that same reel the black Maxx and I never heard nothing about it from them other than problems. With the backlash and the spool mostly. One of them almost got out of using baitcasters altogether thinking he was the problem. His reel before it broke due to age and use I reckon but he bought a new one from a different brand he's still fishing to this day I might would look into maybe buying a new reel I know they both did.

[@adamdahlin721]

When you adjust them, turn the brakes all the way down, then adjust the tension til your lure drops at a steady pace, not fast and free, then turn the brakes back up. Your lure should almost stop on it's own when it hits the floor when you let it drop after turning the breaks back up.

[@killa_doe1897]

I am the 1000th comment

[@Saltyscales]

Nice, thanks for helping hit the milestone.

[@ajjohnson3200]

Thanks Bro, I've been thinking about getting a bait caster, now I'm more confident. New at fishing but love the sport. Look forward to more tips. Thanks again, AJ

[@MurdocMack]

you are very humble and it makes watching your videos enjoyable

[@Saltyscales]

Thank you

[@Anthony-iv1zf]

Say 🖕to bird nest!

[@Saltyscales]

They are not fun, by-product of using the reel I suppose.

[@aaronwynn333]

I'm a rookie with baitcaster reel but thanks to my father in law I have some what of confidence with it and after watching a few of your videos I now know how to fully use it thank you so much!!
