Thnx for the video man I'm thinking of buying my very first baitcaster rod and reel, for 25 yrs I've used spinner reels I want to learn something different lol…
I never turn them off, thats why they are there, so you never have to deal with backlash, and as I got older I realized that sometimes I'm in a conversation or I'm always looking or searching for the next spot while casting, and it allows to not have to watch the lure all the way to the water….in other words I dont have to pay attention as much as when they are off, and thats a nice freedom to have.
Odd. Baitcaster, cast right reel right, left feels uncoordinated. Spinning reel, cast right reel left feels natural. Don't know why and never worried I would miss a hookset.
Stupid question here, but in simple terms what are the advantages of baitcasters? If there is such a learning curve to them and they are so notorious for backlash, what is driving the masses to baitcasters? I want to know because I have a gift card I'm wanting to spend and I'm trying to decide between buying a baitcaster bass combo or a spinning walleye outfit.
This is the first video I've watched that actually mentioned letting the bait hit the ground or water to test for backlash. They only talk about the rate of fall. 👍
I don't get the whole left handed/right handed thing, if you are right handed, why do you retrieve with the right hand? That way you are using your weak arm for leverage.
As others have said, great video, clear instructions, thanks! I have tinkered with baitcasters for years now off and on but I still have much to learn. I like the subtle casting technique, but for some reason I just can't make it work. The lure always land 10 or 15 feet in front of me no matter when I release. I really have to bring it further back over my shoulder to get a decent cast. Oddly enough, I can get a great cast with my spinning gear using this technique. Any advice?
I just ordered a Bass Pro Shops Pro Qualifier 2 rod and reel combo, what is the braking system on it? Would it be true that it doesn’t have pins on the inside? It has the centrifugal knob along with the dial that says dual braking system
Man , Glenn……I learn so much watching your video's. I'm really , really new to the baitcaster reels ( Just got the Lew's Mach Crush reel / rod combo ). I haven't been able to fish with it yet , because I can't stop the backlash stuff I'm getting. I bought a practice weight today and am going to the park to get some practice in. Anyways…..thank you for all the tips on these things , and also all your other helpful videos you have posted.
Whaaaaaat I thought the centrifugal brake was called a tension knob and the pin brakes were called the centrifugal brakes. I need to find the video I watched a few years ago and tell people not to watch it lmfao
Yes, I accidentally transposed the names of the centrifugal and spool tension names. Oops! LOL!!!

What the hell is he talking about? Nothing basic our introductory about this. I'm thoroughly confused
If you are right handed. Do you cast w right hand and reel w left
Awesome video! You put everything I needed to know into words and made it very easy to understand. Thank you!
way too complicated. i just want to fish dude.
i just love this guy

"We aren't throwing touchdowns here"😂😂😂🤣🏈🙌🏿
I just was followed by bass resource on Instagram
I so suck with a bait caster, the "birds nest" made my 86 year old grandfather cry.
"ANYBODY WHO CAN'T WORK A BAIT CASTER SHOULDN'T GO FISHIN!! WHAH!!!

Very enjoyable and enlightening. Thank you.
