There are a ton of different brands of baitcast reels on the market. Many of these reels are very similar so today I want to help you avoid some frustrating fishing by eliminate some baitcaster mistakes.
Baitcast reels really allow you to have control over your lure when you are fishing and they tend to manage larger line better than a spinning reel. That is why it is so important that you use them!
BassFishingHQ is dedicated to teaching people how to catch more and bigger bass. I will go over different bass fishing tips & techniques that will put more fish in the boat or on the shore. Whether you are just starting out or a seasoned tournament angler, my goal is to help you catch more bass.

Just take a lot of practice I don’t care who you are we all get back lashe every now and then been doing this for 50 years it happens
@BassFishingHQ you should repost this once or twice a year 😁
I watched this one last year
What brand is the silver rod?
Well that's certainly different from what used to be taught. Tighten your tension then tie on your lure. Slowly loosen the tension until the lure drops and the spool stops spinning when it hits the ground/deck. Adjust the brake to compensate for wind and other factors. I'll try your method and see how it works but hard to see how the same tension setting would work for a 3/16 vs. 1 oz jig.
This is, basically, the opposite of what all the other advise I've watched.
Just use a blood knot.
Brakes on full and a slow drop. Perfect
whats up guys.
ive been fishing for a very long time but im fairly new to baitcasting.
i wanted to switch to a baitcast combo for fishing jerkbaits, big swim baits.
can somebody tell me witch stats my rod should have? is 30-130g casting weight sufficient?
im mainly fishing pike
Hey I was thinking about getting a good quality bait caster without breaking the bank do you know if any?
I just adjust the spool tension knob until my bait fails to the ground slowly and no backlash happens from the drop. My brakes are usually at 60% or so.
Then the thumb feathering is key
I have found the Shimano DC reels with the electronic brake control, really good to cast with, and they seem to cast further than other brands.
i always tighten my baitcaster reel but because I dont hear the Clicks like i do with a spinner rod, its hard to judge really how much tension you're setting. Im sure ill learn as a continue to experiment
First I’m hearing about setting the brakes on opposite sides of each other. Makes sense for balance I guess, have never noticed a problem setting them next to each other
Double uni knot is where it's at on ur main line to backing. It won't create a big hump in ur spool.
I find that drag on baitcasters is the most important, when you have too much drag, line will dig when you set the hook and if you dont let the fish run or get down to the dig in the line, youll backlash, BAD. In a combination with what dude is saying and setting your drag lighter, you cant go wrong.

try crushing the barb on the hook. Then learn to use the rod to keep the fish on. I loose about one fish in twenty hook ups, but when I set the hook it's there all the way. Learned this from Doug Hannon many years ago. I quit use fluro junk a few years ago because of it's poor knot strength and memory. Pretty much use nothing but braid or Trilene XL. Add to this, bass are a warm water fish and fluorocarbon doesn't work good in warm water. It was developed for cold water fishing like trout, and even then is lack luster.
Very informative..thanks
If you're backlashing at the beginning, you're snapping your wrist ….
