- MAP consultant Andy May gives you an in-depth lesson in clipping up using the patented ACS clip and how to cast accurately.

Do enjoy Andy’s presentation.I’m trying to learn and he seems such a nice chap 👍🏻
New to angling however ur demos and explanations are Second to None, easy to follow
Thanks
Andy is always a pleasure to watch, informative, relevant and great sense of humour - ooosshhh!
I spooled it with 8 LB test mono for lighter lures, gave it some practice casts and found that it did cast well czcams.com/users/postUgkxSlytCJqozTF7EbdP4LWP-HUXf9WRDJ0e , except that the anti-backlash setting had to be turned up almost all of the way to keep the "overcasts' ' down. I disassembled it, and found that if I potted some "shim washers" behind that anti-backlash magnet assembly, it got the magnets closer to the spool without rubbing, and I could get better control with about a 6 to 7 out out 10-Max setting. I also noticed that the handle shaft had some internal end play, maybe only 2 or 3 thousands of an inch, but it's still noticeable. If the anti-backlash and shaft tolerances were "tightened up" this would be a fantastic value. I've only used it for 4 days of fishing in a month's time, but I plan on keeping it.
Nice one Andy, great tips....Cheers.
And I always thought that little clip was to hold my line on the spool when I had no rig on......... Always been wondering how guys would be able to cast the exact same distance over and over and over hahahaha, cheers man! After 7 years of fishing I'm still learning new things and it's amazing! Thanks for the great tips and the very clear & straight to the point explaining of how it all works
I’m very confused
@@socalRooster What are you confused about?
Whats the easiest way to clip back up once you have had a fish remove the line from the clip?
Do you just repeat the first steps?
You’re a good presenter mate, better than some of the so called big names.
Don't tell Andy that, he thinks he IS a big name!🤣🤣🤣
so why is the lower clip there? there are two clips right? the top one releases line if you have a fish on but what does the bottom one do?
A tip when using ACS, don't close the bail arm by hand because it sometimes can push line out of clip. Have clip facing ground and close bail arm by winding handle.
I used to close it by hand and I used to cast way to hard x.
Andy bit of confusion hope you can clear it up.
you say you cast over your left shoulder, but did so over right shoulder !!! did you mean right??
not being picky just a bit confused...
nice bid as always..
I have 3 of these map acs reels and have had a problem with all of them . I put the line in the clip , keep the clip at the bottom away from the rod . It casts great for a while and then for no reason it just pings out on the cast ( you can hear it ) and then im going all ray mears in the bush
I’ve got 3 of the big pit reels and they do the same. Using 18 pound line it just pings out the clip on the acs clip. 😡I’m going to try clipping the line in the bottom part of the clip to see if that works?
If I use the line clip and set my rod on a pod/bank stick won’t my rod get pulled in if I get a fast run/ something like a catfish
Do I go around the clip once or just under it with a line ?
Hi it might be silly but if I find were I wish to fish put my line in the clip I will always get the same place again, what if I get a run I must then take the line out and then I lose the distance and must start all again, do I understand right. Barrie
You can tie a small piece of pole float rubber (around 3 inches long) around the mainline right next to where you clip up so you know where your line fits into the clip every time.
To be honest buddy especially fishing tight to islands there is enough stretch in your mainline (I use 6 lb maxima--mostly) that it's very rare even with a big fish to have to unclip. If you do have to you can put a slip knot where you have the line "say to the 1st eye from the butt section but keep the tag ends about 3 inches long so if you have to unclip the knot flows through your rings with ease 👍
@@SWINDLA87 does this mean casting into open water then wind back to line clip before recast to target area?
@@davidinger4150 Hi mate, I don't actually remember writing my comment or have any recollection of the video but having just watched it, I would say, yes, you would need to cast into open water to get to your clip mark.
Ignore my first comment though as that would only really be any use whilst carp fishing where you're not re-casting all the time like you are whilst feeder fishing.
If you're feeder fishing up next to an island then there should be no need to unclip at all. The reason for that, is the fish can only go left or right, not forward so it won't be ripping spool off the line anyway. In my experience when fishing tight to an island, you always manage to to regain line before the fish can take any.
I've only ever needed to let the fish take line when you're almost ready to net the fish, so you can have the drag set quite tight but loosen off when you get the fish within 15 feet from the bank.
Imo, the map Clip system is just a gimmick, I don't think you'll find many companies copying this system any time soon. You really don't need this type of clip.
Sorry for the long replt, tight lines
Can someone explain why the rod is pulled back after the cast, I.e, whilst the feeder is flying through the air. What purpose does it serve? Thanks.
It means that the final metres of line is pulled off the reel up to the line clip, so as the feeder lands you follow the feeder down with the rod so it doesn't 'bounce' and move out of the intended position. You've just given us an idea for a new tutorial video
@@TheMAPChannel thank you.
Can someone explain the reasoning behind d the up and down action of the rod as the feeder is about to hit the water. Thx in advance.
Hitting the clip in the air slows the feeder before it hits the water, causing less disturbance.
Basically lift the rod while the lead is flying through the air so it slows the flight of the method feeder so it lands flat and slow and the bait doesn't fly off. Also with the rod up in the air when it hits the clip, you now have 4 foot of line to play with for putting your rod on the rest without moving the feeder :)
@@RunninWithScissors when you feel the line hit the clip or when you hear it lower the rod so it doesn't fly back from the force of the hit and so the line clip doesn't pop off.
Hope that helps x
And because when the line hits the clip the force of the hit can pull the feeder back and cause your bate to fall of meaning your pellets or ground bate isn't near the feeder meaning your Lees likely to get bites etc.
I use a map acs 3000 real and I love the line clip design. Only reel that I know of like it.
Paddy from Emmerdale.
As It Is wow....
Ive tried this, but , the line snappedĺ this reel looks the business also had it snap on on afish 6 pound line seems to light for this
I don't like feeder fishing with anything less than 8lb because constantly casting 35gramm feeders loaded with groundbait takes its toll. Try Daiwa sensor in 8lb. Great line, cheap, enough stretch to absorb casting high weight all day.
@@SWINDLA87 Daiwa sensor or Drennan double strength.
can that reel be used for carping?
you would want to use a a bigger bait runner rod for fishing for big carp
@@debbiemess9433 What size Carp is the rod in the video good for?
🍱? 😂
I always snap the line using a clip
Also time to clean your gear up 🤮 but no drop it to the car again 👊
Maps products eat your heart out if you got reels send back. Lol
Tip Guys: use silicon elastic works better then al those line clips
that in the long way damage your line just a small simpel Fact that works
When searching this clip it seems like there are only certain countries that use this feature.... at least thats what the search that youtube shows... everyone is European who is making vids.
europe is the best
@@azaz... ok....great, thx for that
