I was 30 when I got back into fishing. Did some when younger at our farm pond. 56 now. Self taught on how to use a bait caster before any KZread and a spinning rod. and have been picking out backlashes for 26 years. Only had 2 or 3 that had to be cut out. Right before this video was one saying this method has the potential to kink the u-bend where it is overlapped and causing the “knot”. Thus causing line breaking when tugging on a hangup or worse yet a large fish. If it worked for you , great. I always viewed it as more zen time.

This is my first time using a bait casting reel since I was a teenager (72 now) and found your video very informative and it just might make fishing with a bait caster pleasant. I plan on taking a spinning reel and a bait caster with me until I get use to my new Pinnacle MSX100.

Wow what a great tip, I just bought my first bait caster and was about to give up on learning to use because of the pain of clearing the birds nest. Now you have helped me to move on with learning to use with this tip.thanks big time.

That "Fishing can be fun - I promise" killed it :D Been fishing for 25 years now and after buying my first kayak I wanted to try out a baitcaster. Your videos are an enormous help. Thanks from Germany :)

Hey man I took a new baitcaster out for the first time today and got some birds nests, one of which I thought was the end of my day. Your method saved me. Thanks very much for the help.

Thank you! My wife just got me a baitcaster reel for Fathers Day and your videos have definitely been a huge help in fine tuning

Its because ypur not reeling a knot tighter, your tightening the loose line underneath which is why its all knotted in the first place. The line further down thw spool has came loose and is getting caught in the line closer to the bait.

But uuuhhh, isn't cussing and sweating the fun part in fishing?

Thanks for the video. I just bought my first baitcaster after 30 years of using spinning reels! I'm doing as much planning and research as possible before I start using it.

Don't forget, you have to crank your drag up to its maximum, or else you won't be able to turn the reel handle enough to rotate the spool while you're applying the thumb pressure.

Thank you so much for this simplified and easy to understand tutorial playlist. I watched all 7 videos. The last time I was fishing was over 40 years ago, and that was with spinning reels. Now that I live by the sea on the other side of the world, I decided I would like to go fishing again and teach my daughter (5) as well. I just built a small boat, so I ordered rod and casting reel. Thank you again. Pascal

Wow, who knew it was so simple!?! I will be checking out the fine tuning video! Thanks!

For the last few days, my reel is chewing up my line big time, but I've not had any major backlash moments to cause it from my point of view. I'm using brand new 12 lbs test on just a basic Abu Garcia reel. I'll get like 30 - 50 casts in and I'll have 3 or 4 ends of line popping up from the inside of the spool, any advice if I made sense with that..?

Besides this past weekend with my buddy, it's been about 10 years since I've been fishing. Always used a closed face reel. Well I accidentally ordered a baitcaster, not knowing there would be a huge difference. He gave me so much crap about it, saying he can't use them, they birdnest, I'll throw it in the lake, yadayadayada. So here I am, learning everything I can to prove him wrong. Thank you very much for this Playlist lol

I took a small screwdriver ground end like a point bent gently 90 degrees than I find each small loop of string and pull each loop out toward top of reel. This has worked 100 percent of the time for last 10 years. Good fishing. Tom'

This technique won't work for all applications. It works best for mono or fluorocarbon but won't work for braid. The reason it works best for fluorocarbon and mono is that you get a birdnest where it's not tangled up but just lifted off the spool vs a true birdnest where the line is interwind and tangled up. Hope this helps some what.
