I've found the best way to prevent backlash is to use a spinning reel.

Ok wow I’ve been practicing with a baitcaster for almost a year now, and I’ve watched a lot of videos and this might be the best. When you deliver us your “master class” lessons it’s really special

The breaks and tension and drag advice helped so much. I was getting rats nest every single cast and backlash way before I could get it anywhere near where I wanted it. Used your advice, went a little tight in that zone for the tension and now I can actually fish lol. So thanks a lot!

Thank you! Just bought my first bait caster today. Looking forward to using it and your video helped me really understand the mechanics of it. Been using spinning reels all my life. Thanks for your video!

Excellent advice you don't get from most other channels and even local shop guys! I've just become more proficient with the baitcaster and found some of these tips on my own, but everything you talked about here will definitely help me. Especially using a inexpensive backing! Killer tip!

Excellent video. I have been fishing for over 60 years and I'm always willing to learn something new.. You do a great job Explaining different things. This channel as well as tactical bassin and Matt Stephan fishing are my favorites. Straight forward honest explanations.

Definitely helpful, have only been fishing with some baitcasters for about after getting back into fishing after about 15 years and this is always a sticking point to figure out sometimes. Thank you.

Great info, spot on and you explain the mechanics of the way a baits density matters. Especially using a reel for multiple applications where the baits have different physics in the air.

Been fishing bait casters for about 45 years. I finally learned how to not get a backlash from trying different reels and adjustments. I found that setting the break on the middle, I can fine tune the tension knob on the right to get that perfect, long, no thumbing cast. My Tatatula’s I can cast them almost as far as my spinning rings and never need to thumb the spool. 90% of the pros I watch never thumb the spool. This is what took me most of my life to find out, even after trying and trying to fine tune the break system that seemed to have almost no effect.

Thank you, this was massively helpful. Been using komodo for few months now, haven't had problems and none severe backlashes but still learning. Will try these tips asap!

One of the best explanation videos of a baitcaster that I have found. This is helped me to finally set up my baitcaster the right way. Thank you!

The visual representations you add in are so simple yet so helpful, great touch to the videos

Hey Tyler that was a good video! One other trick after putting on the backing would be to take a 2 inch piece of electrical tape and tape down the backing connected to the tag end. Then put another 1 inch piece of tape onto the previous piece then put on your fluorocarbon line this way there is no knot for the new lineto bite into until it gets over top of that knot. This also helps the line sit into itself and fill the spool straight. Have use this trick all my life and have never been let down! Keep up the great videos

Brakes loose, tension loose, use your thumb. I’ve done the experimenting and this is hands down the best way to cast for distance. Skipping is a different beast.

This video was awesome. Especially the explanation of the brakes and spool tension. I've been having trouble with my BPS Sierra Tango bait caster but following this video helped a lot trying to get this thing set. Thanks and tight lines!

This was a great video, I have trouble with my bait caster, I will be putting your tips into play this season. Thanks for the way you explain and talk about your tips.

Thank you for making this video! You’ve simplified the mechanics & physics to casting with baitcaster, learned few new things I’ll apply this season 🎣

Good tips . Rather than using backing , if you fill your spool with the line you like , when you think its time to change your line , tie the end on another reel and wind it on that reel . This way the old used line is now on the bottom of the spool and you have fresh line on top .

After slowing, over the last 18mths working this out for myself,even the wind blowing front or back & making adjustments & weight of baits being used & watching,practising numerous vids & casts.. YOU have definitely confirmed what i was doing was correct. Thanks brother. For a while there i thought i was waayyyy off the pitch & ready to go back to spin. Enjoying my BC's & getting my head around them more & more...their F sick...👍🏼 Its all in the cast...you can throw your baits out like you'd throw a ball. Its the 'casting action' that beats spin hands. down. Cheers Fluro
