As others have said; I actually watched AND physically made the adjustments to my bait caster, at the same time. As an absolute beginner, with a bait caster, your video saved me from cutting my rod in half to fit in the trash can. The WRIST angle – as you would shake someone's hand", invaluable. – Brake vs. side tension dial – invaluable. Thanks for taking the time to shoot this Edu vid!
Any tips for casting weightless senkos and other soft plastics. They are the only lures I get backlashes on. I have everything set for the light weight but still get backlashes…
The round-shaped knob near crank-handle is mechanical brake, not centrifugal brake. Centrifugal brake should be inside side-plate, replacing magnetic brake.
I am just planning to buy a baitcaster because it seems interesting, althought it is not popular in my country. May I ask you why are you holding the rod in left hand while playing the fish if you cast it with the right hand? Wouldn't be more simple to use a "left handed" reel and keep the rod in the right hand all the time? Thank you for your answer.
Thanks man this video really hit the nail on the head and when I first got the baitcaster I kept trying to throw it far and it keeps bird nesting on me and I came across this video and think I'm gotta better thank what I was ??so I appreciate u for making this video really had a lots of details?
Mr. Dude, you didn`t even mention the very basics of how to cast. You mentioned something about "release" but seem to take for granted i already know what this implies. I do not. I`m a total newbie and don`t even know in what position that thumb brake thing is supposed to be in when i cast or if i`m supposed to use my thumb as a brake on the spool. May be elementary for you, but the title of this video do state "how to cast a baitcaster" So as far as rods, will i be needing a pistol grip for my Shimano Cruxis 200 baitcasting reel? I`m righthanded and the crank thing is on the right side. Is this the correct side for me? Thanks.
Thank you for those clear and useful tips. I have only tried a baitcaster once and I was horrible at it. Now I know why. Looking forward to getting reacquainted with mine and learning how to use it.
You should put up an amendment to explain that your so-called pins are the actual Centrifugal Brakes. Centrifugal Force is the force acting at 90 degrees to the centre of rotation ie pushing the weights outwards. Yes, you have put up an amendment to correct your naming of the Pin Tensioner, you just need the extra note. Otherwise, GOOD video!
Great work. Just some points I have found invaluable when teaching student. -Side casting to start with… they tend to keep their casting to a subtle toss as apposed to throwing the lure. – Have beginners use their dominant arm/hand to cast and other hand to turn the reel – Have new students learn to keep their thumb in contact with the spool/line. This is a great habit for getting the "feel" of any backlash and if they stop the lure at a specific target. Thanks again for the great explanation of the breaks and spool drag

Dude the one you are calling a centifugal brake is a spool tension knob and is use to do just that it's not a brake

Bait casters suck. I hate those kind of reels.
This is probably the best explanation of how to adjust the Baitcaster
How do u put line in a non spool baitcaster?
interesting video
all this time i thought that was the "spool tension" knob and the pins were centrifugal.
Great video, just moved up to Sanoma County. This video helped me alot!

This guy always teaches me good stuff!!!
my baitcaster has a magnetic and a twisting cintrifical brake
Does braided line frey? Do you know of any lubricant you can apply to the line to help it come off the reel easier
Thanks a lot sir, can't wait to get out there a do things right now. Love your tips.
Grip it and rip it. I bet you I could cast over them mountains.
great video but at the start was confusing for me trying to get in to bait caster reel

What's a good bait caster?
Excellent video. I've been fishing for 50 years and picked up a few new tricks with your video.
Look forward to seeing your other videos.
Great pointers, thanks!!

Very well done!
Excellent tips! I can adjust and fine tune my reel, practice short targets and apply some pressure to prevent a backlash! Gonna watch this AGAIN!
thanks for those tip great video

great video. thank you
Great sharing of techniques. A wonderful lesson for beginners like me. Thanks a million.
