Baitcasting Reel Tips: Adusting Brake For Less Backlashes

[mekutha]

as fishermen know right handers use left winders. you cast with your right and change hands. this is always changing hands where you could miss a strike. he's a pro and doing it right.

[Bouwplan]

just like its been learne to me by my local shop ^^

[gibbygoo]

As a right handed person, why are you using a left handed reel?

[bd189]

@gibbygoo maybe he used a spinner reel as a kid and reeling with his left hand is like writing with his right.

I used to have it set somewhat tight but now I can loosen it up however loose I want it without any backlashes.. I can't tell you the last time I backlashed!

I like your videos, nice and simple...shouldve watched these vids before i left fishing today...

[josephdkennedy]

i like how you just kissed the water with the tail on your hook.

[gnomehater63]

i tryed this on my baitcaster and it didnt work at all! if i move the brake anywhere except the highest point i get tons of backlash! what am i doing wrong?

[zammystavez]

@gnomehater63 Put your thumb on the spool before it hits the water or maybe just let your thumb barley touch the spool when casting.

@gnomehater63 You're probably whipping your rod too hard like a Spinning reel. I know, I came from that world too. When you cast your baitcasting reel/rod, it should be a natural flow. If you're not getting the distance from the cast then it's your reel/rod. Try spending at least $300 for combo and you'll see a significant difference. Here's a big tip. Throw your farthest cast and pull out 15-20feet. Put a piece of tape inside. This will prevent more backlash and digs.

does this have any affect on the Anti backlash ones and what model is featured in the video???

[barricade21701]

i have an anti backlash baitcaster and throw it like a regular reel

optimum furbit frog

[HATINTHEKAT]

uhh i just got one and dont know the names of the stuff yet, is it the star looking thing? or the round thing under it? or the round thing on the opposite side?

[ecollins92]

@HATINTHEKAT the round part under the star, the star looking thing is the drag

[thebassfisher911]

how does the magnetic drag work?

[darkiee69]

@thebassfisher911 if it's an older ABU reel it's the one on the opposite side of the crank.

[nieten7642]

Yeah, that is how to adjust the tension knob, not the brake.

[TeamRippnLipz1]

LOL dont you mean the Tension knob, The braking does not slow the fall...
