STOP Making These Common Baitcasting Mistakes…

[@DGmmnLm]

I was totally casting with my whole body until I watched this. Tried working my wrists a lot more today. After about 15 min of practice I was casting better and further with a baitcaster than I have ever before. I definitely needed this.

[@easyacreshomestead]

Any other right-handers here use only "lefthanded" baitcasting rods? 😂

[@kodyphillips9753]

Yeah I was always taught right handed people reel with the left hand so you don't switch hands after casting and here randy is casting and reeling with the right in a casting video, strange. I personally cast with my right hand and reel with my left. As any right handed person should 😂

[@kevinlavery6194]

Yup. Left handed baitcasters are the best!

[@MrArctictundra]

I'm him, It's me.

[@BrianParkerson]

Not everyone is the same in the aspect of right/left handed reels....it's the right brain, left brain dominance trait that dictates what feels natural to the individual. What's strange to me is how left handed spinning reels and right handed baitcasters are my preferred configuration even though I'm very much right handed.

[@Carolinabiggins]

Absolutely

[@michaeldevito9507]

Thank you another great informative video Cheers

[@MarkAegerter]

very interesting point, all the experience, but I suck at casting / not suck, but I see your point / I really feel like I am at a disadvantage being a bank fisherman / rarely get the change to skip underneath anything, as I am already on the bank / your level is always different from one pond to another, way above the water, right on the water / If I ever get that boat I have been talking about, I will have to relearn how to cast from a boat

I remember when you won that completion. Everybody was saying some kid from Joplin won and no one could pronounce your name right.

[@davefransen5096]

Those rod sleeves are sick.

[@Glock-1]

Another great one Randy!

[@DougLane-dj3oh]

Good fundamental advice.

[@markwarren3535]

I grew up on the West coast fishing larger rivers for salmon and steelhead. If the slot holding fish is across the river, 50 or 60 yards away, most folks cant reach unless they have a boat. One of the first things I was taught back in the day, was how to remove the brakes and " thumb control " everything. Hours of practice but worth it. So much faster and farther.

[@oms7969]

100% facts. I was getting bit on a frog making accurate casts into grass and reed pockets while my buddy couldn’t put the bait in the strike zone and got zero.

[@matthewwinn1306]

Thanks Randy great video

[@sleetherookie2929]

Randy knows the “Superman that cast” concept. That Superman cast for sure will fly farther than a country mile. Randy makes way more cast in his garage than in any of his on the water demos by far.

[@providencevalleyfarm5270]

Thanks Randy. this is really encouraging that I am at least doing one thing right! It's very cool that you put casting excellency into your memory as a little kid & it has stayed with you through adulthood. As a tiny kid in the 60s my dad taught me to fish with an "open reel." He handed me a "giant" 8' rod too & insisted we learned to handle & care for good equipment. But it's like you say, it's intuitive now. 😒 And exactly as you say, learning to cast sitting on a rollator is the toughest thing I am figuring. I keep getting up to cast & get wobbly, 🥴 heaven forbid I should get more than a nibble, I'll probably fall in with the fishes. 😂At least I'll be having fun🤣

[@thebear74]

will you do one for spinning rod?

[@arngreencare8955]

I like how Randy keeps pressing the spool release button out of habit. (Yeah, I do it too...)

[@jonathanfoster1705]

Great info

[@adammitchell3462]

Thanks man!

[@providencevalleyfarm5270]

Like riding a bicycle. 42 years since I was fishing every weekend & I can at least still cast the right way!

[@joshuasweet1532]

Mr randy....I can't skip with a baitcaster...can you cover this topic please....God bless

[@fryeguy9939]

Old habits die hard ! ! !

[@sawtoothhiker4317]

Dedication enabled you to win ✌️💪

[@MichaelSwirzewski]

I cast baitcasters w my left, spinning w my right- I learned to skip or pitch spinning w my left,ill have to practice baitcaster w my other hand.

[@skylerdonley4790]

Thanks

[@tiptoeurchin]

My brother's a master caster. My expertise lies in the baiting

[@arngreencare8955]

Randy, it seems line size does have an impact on a bait caster, but my open faces it makes a HUGE impact on how my entire rig works. You see the same?

[@AaronS-ml1bh]

RANDY you're so old brother get with the times baitcasters are so 1995 it's 2024 all u need is a spinning rod a 22 inch TV, live scope and some way points u bought and a weenie worm, not sure why u make so fishing so hard lol Love ya bro

[@van3158]

What about when you’re trying to cast to the middle of the lake from shore? Sometimes I need to get my bait off the shelf, and that requires slinging it like I’m throwing a grenade.😂

[@BassholeByNatureFishing]

I think these are more boat specific tips.. but man I remember tryna cast to the other side of the lake from the bank!! I think that’s why my back hurts now in my older age😂😂😂😂 tryna throw a 1/4oz Buzzbait 150yrs in the wind for 4 hours😂😂😂😂

[@Nickolas7979]

I can do all of them but skipping everytime I try to skip it backlashes

[@DonaldWest-qk1dt]

i remember Dad teaching me to cast a baitcaster by holding a newspaper between my elbow and my side to not use my whole arm

[@MrArctictundra]

It's true. All of it!

[@sleetherookie2929]

“Superman that cast” will fly your bait to Neptune. Bash and nash will only get to a country mile.

[@NotoriousPepe]

The best way to cast a baitcaster, is straight into the trashcan.

[@markbuscher8183]

Have you watched some of Ben's videos Randy, He actually is on the water catching fish and not just small tiny fish like you , but BIG FISH like ten twelve fifteen pounders. All you do is talk Randy.

[@Loskillz]

Has Randy had some Bells Palsey or a stroke? The one side of his mouth looks like it's lost some mobility...the reason I ask is I have Bells Palsey right now and I look like Randy....well sort of 😉

[@randyblaukatintuitive]

No, actually I just had my doctors appointment recently and everything’s good

[@johnkopp7137]

Wren is talking

[@Chad-em2fg]

Do they float when they get blown, kicked, dropped or thrown off the boat in one of the many bad days on the water?
