You have explained very neat,I just want to ask about the difference between baitcaster reel and spinnercaster reel
Overhead Reel My Beloved
I like spincast, even as a long time fisherman. They are easy to maintain imo.
🙏
As a spin caster normie (I’m trynna find a baitcaster in my price range) I haven’t had any complaints about accuracy or distance when casting.
Bait Cast reels… When you really, really want a pile of crap…🙄
I have that same daiwa tatula. Fantastic reel, caught many 5+ lb largemouth with it.
thank you so much for being so informational and straight to the point.
can you use baitcasting for inshore fishing?
Been getting into high end spincast reels lately. For what I do I really like my zebco delta. It’s whisper quiet, feels nice, and it’s also got a nice casting distance for a spincast reel.
There was also a big box of them for 30$ a reel at Ollie’s and I had to pick one up.
I started fishing this summer and got a cheap spinning reel and it was nice. A few days ago I spent about 200 dollars on a baitcasting reel and it feels like there some skill to using it. Took me maybe 2 hours to get comfortable with and it’s way more satisfying to use. Might be because it’s higher quality tho. I like that you can adjust the breaks on it so you basically yhrow light bait just as far as heavy bait. But the satisfying use is pretty importand to me since I spend 99% of the time just throwing and reeling back in. Haven’t caught a fish in like 3 weeks:((((
I’m a crazy fishing enthusiast in Michigan, at 14, so I got my first spin cast reel and rod zebco combo when I was 8, and to this day I still use that. It’s a workhorse. Here in Michigan you get many different species. Funny, I’ve caught every major species in Michigan on that rod. Panfish, crappie, Both LM and SM bass, brook brown and rainbow trout, catfish, walleye, Northern Pike, and I’m sure I’m forgetting a few. But great video, for my 15 Bday I’m gonna ask for a spin caster. Thanks!
What rod is that at 2:58?
I’m a newbie and I was sold a trigger spincast reel for trout and panfish last year, which must be niche enough that it wasn’t covered in your video. It’s a cross between a spinning reel and a spincaster, held below on a spinning rod but otherwise mechanically identical to a spincaster. Now I feel like more of a noob for fishing with it. Lol.
Are you supposed to use braided line on bait caster
Not me watching this with a $600 spinning reel hearing him say there cheap
I just bought a Lew’s Xfinity SpeedStick IM7 6 ft 6 in Medium power fast action rod with a spinning reel, I’m thinking of putting a 20 lb braid (spider wire ) line as the main line then attach a 15lb fluorocarbon (seaguar) as the leader line. Would you recommend this? I’m new to fishing and this is something recommended to me by a friend. In my area it’s mainly bass, trout and catfish I’m hoping this rod as well as the lines are good enough for them. Looking forward to your input thank you so much.
I have a spinning reel and one tone I went fishing and somehow the line from went inside my spinning and it’s now tangles a lot inside and do you know what to do in this situation but it’s okay if you don’t know
Isnt there like a type of baitcasting reel that reduces backlash with a certain mechanism?
Picked up my Zebco 33 spincaster over thirty years ago. It’s never once had a problem. Just took my four-year-old fishing for the first time and he wanted to use "daddy’s", even though he had his own. Priceless family heirloom now, Lol.
im cursed with only using spincasters, any other reel and i wont get a single bite. i always hook onto some big berthas on my spincast
Spincast ant that bad
Ok, so that’s why my spinning reel looks different! It’s a spincast reel! I’m guessing the one in my family tree that has tried out fishing did it as a small hobby.. Maybe I should get a spinning reel then, so if someone in my family ever gets kids they might be pleasantly surprised if they ever take up fishing 😄
Which would you say is the most versatile? I’m guessing one of the types in the middle like 2500/3000 and size 30? I’m not going to go out of my way to catch big saltwater fish but if I get a big pike or so on the hook, of course I want to be able to reel it in!
A great fishing video and you can learn something here, thanks
how do you make a easy and strong knot?
I’m 34, and only been fishing 3-4x in my life. Unfortunately, my dad has been disabled my entire life and my mom doesn’t care to fish, so i never really learned as a kid. Dad has been getting some stuff together for a birthday gift to me, which is super cool. However, part of his disability is preventing him from being able to effectively teach or even really advise in an understandable way (stroke) and this video was very helpful for us to decide what stuff to get.
He was a fairly experienced fisherman in his time, living in southeastern VA, and when i mentioned that i felt an actual need to become less dependant on groceries, he wanted to help me get started. Thank you for helping me help him help me lol
Edit: we’re going with a spinning reel, because of the versatility and I also like the idea of casting that way. Seems like it’ll be the most efficient way to learn and be ready for different circumstances at the same time.
that ain’t a catfiah thATS A STURGEN
This channel is good, your other video also 🎉❤
I only use my closed face for bait becuase I don’t cast I just drop like 6 feet and pull back up so it doesn’t matter then for my bass and catfish I use spinner I don’t like bait caster
I’ve been using spinning reels from the beginning and never tried spincast. It sounds like spincast’s only advantage is being beginner friendly so is getting one just a waste of time?
I just want to catch all sorts of freshwater fish what should I get after my button caster is done? I’m talking bluegill, catfish, bass, trout but I’m unsure
Nice vid! I’m 73 and a beginner at fishing. I bought a baitcaster last year and learned to use it but prefer my spinning rods over all.
I have a few old Johnson spincast reels, they work great and can cast a pretty far distance! I personally hate the newer spincast reels, they feel very cheap, while the older johnson ones feel way better to me. I use them as a secondary and tertiary to my baitcaster. Spincast are definitely an option, you just have to get a good one.
I’m 48 and have only ever used spincast reels. I’m a very accurate caster and I can get my line out there far enough. I’ve caught my fair share of lunkers with a good zebco and a pistol grip ugly stic. Like anything else if you take care of your gear it will take care of you.
Very helpful
Bait casters in my opinion, are the worst types of reels because you can’t control when you get back lash.
Flying rods be like: Are you serious right now bro?
Hello! Thanks for the video and all the info! I am a beginner in fishing, which would you recommend, for better use at shore fishing, in rivers, or lakes/ponds. Would like to know your thoughts! Thank you so much!
thank you so much! im a pretty experienced angler with around 6 years of experience, personally i prefer spincasts due to to cheap price and easier ways to cast, however i do still like spinning reels.
Very good thank you
Very helpful. Im a beginner and now understand what all my professional friends are half way talking about.
What about the one used for flyfishing?
I like the button one more
ch🔔といいね👍致しました💁♀️💕リール解説から実釣ありがとうございます💕ボート初心者夫婦マミーより💁♀️💕
Wait so can someone explain how to use a spin reel to reel in a fish. Not too sure how the drag system works and why the line would twist.
my dad taught me on a spinner reel. iv not been fishing since he passed away. i miss fishing with him. next time i go he will be there with me in spirit.
i didnt even know there were different types of reels other than spinners till today.
Very well explained! Great video!
I bought a 47 dollar ugly stick spinning reel works great and is really smooth I have caught a 6lb smallmouth bass on it and 6 chubs and 2 catfish I’m only a couple weeks into my fishing journey.
Fun fact my first fish was the 6lb bass
I amateur in fishing and i buy miracle fish 200 reel and i caught a 3kilograms carp
This is all really overwhelming for a first time fisher lol
