Set your brakes to max (if your new to them) then loosen or tighten your tension knob till your bait barely moves or doesnt move at all. Once you get used to it you can loosen the brakes

@@alvarez321if you untangle a backlash like shown in this video, it will create memory on Mono or Fluoro lines and can cause terrible wind knots with Braid line The best way to untangle a backlash is leaving the spool open and slowly, calmly pull your line out. When the line begins to feel stiff, pull the loops in your spool and make sure there are no knots. Repeat these two until you pull the whole backlash plus 5 yards of line out. Tighten drag to max and put your thumb on the line and reel in slow

honestly it works. with braided line not nearly as well but it’s still doable
What I do is I pull the line out of the eye of the reel until I hit a loop on the bail that prevents me from pulling more of the line out of the reel, I pull at the loop or loops on the bail that are holding the line back until I can pull the line out again and continue this process until the birds nest is completely gone. This can take time depending on how bad the birds nest is, and from my experience this usually works 90% of the time.

Nothing against spinning reels, but they have no skill in them. Baitcasters have many different brakes and dials that spinning reels don't and you can easily throw bigger baits with a casting reel.

Went fishing on my own for the first time in forever and was so excited when I figured that out 😂
Also if you use rope line it won’t tangle that bad just a heads up
hold your thumb lightly on the spool during your cast to slow it down near the end, also tighten the left dial so the spool spins just a little slower. backlash is usually from the spool still having momentum when your lure already hit the water.

@@TheChamp601 lol sounds like an issue with the user. I bought a cheap baitcaster to practise with after about 20 minutes i was casting it just as good as my spin real. I used to be only spin real but went fishing in washington state for salmon and the rods on the boat were all baitcasters. Nice thing about that is i didnt have to cast just pull line out by hand the guide told us how much to pull out depending where we were on the boat. Caught the biggest salmon that day.
I just pull it and it comes out straight away most the time
This man sacrificed a backlash for us. Real g 💯
Him: do not pull on the lines Other ppl: pull on the lines until it looks straight
This is why bass fisherman has 10 poles in the boat
Welcome to the fraternal order of the birdsnest.
The adjustment will have to be made for every bait. Since worms and crankbaits don't weigh the same. For example
thanks dude, i got my first baitcaster this week ,im fishing for over 10 years now never had a baitcaster before partialy couse of backlashes
I always want those kinds of fishing rods but I still need to learn a lot more with the open reel
I known this for a long time, a must-have technique. Also ayy Black max is an incredible reel for the price.
Set the tension on each lures weight and no more backlash

people are too stupid to do that. people are so stupid they wage slave for 60 years and act like retiring at 65 is worth half a shit
Just pull out the line until it stops, then pull out the loop from the spool side that is stopping the line from coming out, then pull the line out again until the backlash is out or you hit another loop and then do it again.
this is why I swapped reels cuz baitcasters usually get backlash often and once I got it and while trying to untangle it I hooked on to a 4-5 pound carp and it instantly tightened it and I had to wrestle it while trying to untangle the line till I gave up and cut it
Little tip I also use a abu Garcia black max but that real works so much better with braid
This is a good idea, but I prefer to just pull the line and if it stops and pull the big clump a couple times in different directions and keep doing it until it’s all gone
him:Do NOT PULL THE LINE him 1 second later: PULL THE LINE-
You also have to pull the line after applying pressure
I was gonna ask if that the Kelowna area but then noticed the name of your channel lol
Haven’t had one that required respooling… yet. Somehow they work out.
This is also why I use braided line. Sooooo much easier to get BL out.
Cast while turning the reel 90⁰, eliminates most of all backlash
Homie has nails like Dracula's baby mama.
This doesn’t work
I thought south paws were so crafty!
Let's just say I will fall into my knees and yelled no at the top of my lungs since that will ruin my entire week
After backlash...throw baitcaster as far into the lake as possible...rod and reel. Purchase appropriately sized spinning reel for use when casting. Conventional reels are for downlining and trolling.
or just usw a regular reel like 90% and only BC for big baits
Very often, I get my backlashes out by just thumbing the spool backwards.
Tie on lure of choice set magnetic brakes to zero. Adjust spool tension knob , so the lure slowly falls to ground. Then set your magnetic brakes back to 7-8, make cast lure should hit the water without backlashing and without breaking with your thumb. 👍💯
This works sooo well
Should the reel handle be on the other side since he’s casting with his left?

That’s why my dad said don’t get those type of fishing rods😂
You’re going to end up with a mess. Just tighten the brake and pull the line. No rinse and repeat necessary. If you run across a snag, push the line back a tad instead of pulling and gently rub the line side to side with your thumb, then pull it free
I usually do this pull line off reel and there will be one that is crimped pull that one and normally comes out
Or just set your spool tension to the drop of your lure, and don’t flick your wrist at the end of the cast!
Bro definitely edited it
I thought he was just gonna say cut it lol
With braid it’s better to pull it out and then just reel it back in

That can damage your line tho because the loop goes over the main line going through if you pull that loop will make a crease in the line
ok so i did this today and it worked
pov you have a spinning reel
This picture is the exact reason I switched to braid
Or don't use monofilament and use braided line. You will have more adjustment with your drag and a better time fishing.
I just cast it in if it’s backlash and then I release the bail start pulling out the line until the loop shows itself after I just hold on tight to the line and just reel in it doesn’t always work sometimes I have to unloop a little bit and next yeah.
That wind blowing is a backlash magnet it comes up ya better put on a heavier bait & slow down the cast speed & as always keep your thumb on the line. But just in case of wind or what not I also bring a spinning reel for drop shot etc. ya don’t drop shot with a bait caster.
What I do is use a regular open face reel and I never have this problem lmao can’t convince me to use a bait cast reel
In my experience , if you will look for the “crossover”
Reminded me why I'll stay with spinning reels lol
Instructions unclear I don’t have any my line on my reel and I’m tangled all in in the line
Use a pe line or a braided line bro. Nylon line is easy to keep memory and always keep getting tangled. Braided line dont hold memory and hard to get tangled cause they are braided
Most of the time I wind up having to pick the nest loose…do not do this on tension or it could ruin your day ! Lol
in Italian we call this "wig"- (parrucca)-, more rarely "spaghettata". it cannot be translated because spaghetti remains spaghetti in all languages. spaghettata, I could translate it as "spaghetted" 😅
Yeah and it would go a whole lot quicker if you would just pull in the mainline slowly. I've been using bait casters for multiple years now and I have new had an issue with pulling on the main line
I pull the line out and then put tension on it with my fingers. If I sense a knot I stop reeling and untie it. And if I’m lucky I can get rid of the backlash completely. Only works half the time though 😔
