Looking for first baitcaster and not sure what to buy…
Got any ideas that won’t empty my pockets please let me know.
galbatorixxon 13 Dec 2009 at 10:01 pm 2I often used braid when I fished in heavy cover and thick weeds and what not so I wouldn’t snap the line on snags..
SaginawRiverFishingon 13 Dec 2009 at 10:35 pm 3yeah i am left handed and i use a right handed reel. i find it is way better to use my main hand to guide the rod and pull the fish, while my less used hand just winds the line in.
robdogg2020on 13 Dec 2009 at 11:30 pm 4do you americans use braid line on bait casters?? us australians seems to use braid line on bait casters most of the time. maybe because braid lines dont really curl up as much wen casted out??
igiefiveon 13 Dec 2009 at 11:46 pm 5one other thing darkmoose you’ve been insulting and age racist when all the mans has done is help, if you look at the comments i’m sure others will agree… give your self heart attacks, man you are funny… take care and enjoy your fishing
igiefiveon 14 Dec 2009 at 12:26 am 6You’re still missing the point of the vid, it’s to help with casting and backlash. if people have picked the wrong reel it’s still their choice.didn’t put any minus points on yur comment, so stop reading things in, and yes, i do have a good reason for using one left and one right because of joint probs, others may find tiredness causes them to want to alternate. sound comment and sound reason for it, enjoy your fishing and open your mind. no reason to reply, i won’t waste my time answering again
rgmanbyon 14 Dec 2009 at 1:18 am 7Good video, well made and simple to understand. Top tips too 5*****
darkmossie633on 14 Dec 2009 at 1:42 am 8what is the advantade of CHANGING HANDS (to right hand wind) after casting-why change from FIXED SPOOL
casting and winding in system-sorry there is no good answer, and you will not convince me however MINUS marks you put on my
extremely logical comment
I have had compliments from so many people
on this obvious error, including one pro-fisherman
from USA
igiefiveon 14 Dec 2009 at 1:47 am 9thats a bit harsh mate, I use a left and multiplier and right hand my fixed spool, it’s called choice… this guy is only showing easy cast and backlash get out, people will work out whats right for them and most are indepedent enough not to be influenced just because he’s using one, perhaps he’s got a prob wiht his other arm or just prefers it… chill mate and enjoy fishing…
philly442on 14 Dec 2009 at 1:58 am 10great video 5*
20bigbon 14 Dec 2009 at 2:41 am 11i just bought my first baitcaster and this video helps alot
mmmmmr96on 14 Dec 2009 at 3:25 am 12this just realy helped me i used to burn my finger bu know i know that i have to titen the apool
darkmossie633on 14 Dec 2009 at 3:58 am 13youve converted all viewers to right-hand wind multiplier-mistake
-acheing arms after an hours casting
left hand multiplier is so much more comfortable and natural, just like
left-hand fixed-spool reels at least
95 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% of fishermen use
-drives me crazy, this 50+ year American CON of right-hand multis
give yurself heart attacks pumpin fish (the heavy work) with your weaker left arm,and winding in with your stronger right arm
-totally illogical

ketter88on 14 Dec 2009 at 8:20 am 23great video. think im gonna get myself a baitcaster
FishaMengon 14 Dec 2009 at 8:51 am 245* great video Im doing pretty good one thing baitcasters suck for is night time fishing cause you have to see your lure to stop it before it hits the water. Good thing i still have a closed reel if i don’t get good with this ill return it but it doesnt seem that hard and ill just have another rod ready for nighttime.
FishaMengon 14 Dec 2009 at 9:33 am 25buy a sevylor fish hunter 360 or which ever you want they run under $200 imma be buying one soon gotta save up since i just got my baitcaster
