    Thanks mate. My first ever outing was a complete disaster. After 3 casts my reel was so knotted up line wrapped around everything I couldn't continue. Never been taught how to fish so learning by my mistakes. Frustrating. Your videos are a big help.

      For sure a learning experience for people who were never taught, I learned pretty quick on a spinning reel tbh but when I switched to a baitcaster, phew that was a good 12 birdsnests an outing. Always went back to my spinning, but now that i've learned it well, I can't go back to the spinning... Once you learn it well, you'll fall in love my friend. Good luck out there.

      Change gear. Go to your local sporting goods store and buy a GOOD LIGHT power rod in 5'6' to 6' length. Pair it with a GOOD size 100 0r 150 reel spooled with GOOD 10lb. braid. Tie on a 1/8 oz in line spinner and learn to cast using one hand. One hand on the rod and one hand on the reel and keep your casts around 50'. Forget this two hand casting crap. You do nothing but over power your lure and destroy any chance you have of making an accurate cast. And keep your elbow close to your body. Pull up a video of a GOOD fly rod fisherman and watch how they cast. Their elbow never leaves their side and you will never see them casting with two hands with the exception of salmon fisherrmen using 10' to 12' spey rods when they are throwing 75-100 feet of line. Let the rod do the casting And FYI good means $100- MINIMUM, except the braid and be sure the braid is 8 strand.

    @nate4036 Před 3 lety +56

    You hit em all perfectly. My grandfather taught me around 4yo to use a spinning rod. He preached closing the bell, spooling the right amount of line, controlling the cast...... in return, I taught him the benefits of Spider Wire braid when it first came out.

    • @missanthropy5808
      @missanthropy5808 Před 3 lety +1

      How are you getting braid to cast far enough? I can cast well...put braid on and I cast like a toddler. Sucks and I hate it.

    • @Im-mv6bf
      @Im-mv6bf Před 3 lety +5

      idk how since casting braid is easier and better. Perhaps you have braid that is too heavy for the reel/rod. lighter line, regardless and material cast better than heavier line. maybe your line is bottom heavy (meaning more line is collecting at the bottom of the spool), its better for your spool to be top heavy for casting ability.

  • @TJ_Loves2fish

    Love my spinning rigs. I’ll be working on my baitcaster skills this year. When I club fished I was a co-angler and I found my spinning setup allowed me to better fish around the boat owner... he’d be getting dibs on the flipping, pitching, etc. and I’d wind up working the other side with a wacky or Texas rig. It’s all good and I learned years ago to adapt and overcome! Great tips... I love braid😎 but in Florida we mostly tied direct instead of using a leader. Our water is usually dark and we often horse in a two pound bass with four pounds of grass!😀

    great tips Debo. I would also add that when you are putting on new line on the spool that you put good tension on it. I've wound new line on my spinning reel semi-loosely and wind knots occurred. I stripped all the line off and relined it but under tension and made a world of difference. It all ties into 1 of your mistakes about reeling in loose line.

      Learn to feather the base of the spool also, when fighting a fish. You can fish a light drag, yet maintain control of the fight and pull up a fast running fish that is about to get you into cover or even spool you.

    When I was four years old my Dad taught me how to fish. I used my Maternal Grandfathers rod and reel. Grandpa was a union activist in the 40's & 50's at the northern pulp & paper mills of Thunder Bay (then, Port Arthur). His idea of a family vacation was to drive the family in a black Ford down a logging road. Turn at the first available field. And keep going. One time he strapped a raft together to float the car across a river.
    My Grandfather taught my Dad how to fish. I like spending time with the men in my family.
