Best of the best!
Hey Capt. C.A., love baitcasters and your videos. Can you please do a video on how you set the brakes and drag on an inshore baitcaster!

is that the new Shimano Misstiff
Couldn’t have picked a better time for this video! Can I use a stronger rated braid than what is stated on the rod as long as I don’t exceed the recommended diameter? Thank you!

Yes to a degree. For example a Medium action rod I might choose a 20lb-30lb braid weight but 40lb could also be a play depending on application. Whereas a Heavy action rod I might be willing to utilize 50-65lb braid for pulling fish from docks or some type of cover

For my M and MH rods I generally use 15 to 30 lb braid. Rods have no issues with them. 20 is my favorite. throw 1/8 , 3/16, 1/4 also weightless EWG hooks for soft plastic jerkbaits

I primarily B.A.S.S. and catfish in north MS. I try to go inshore a time or two a year. I like good quality gear but am not rich lol. So my gear needs to be dual use. I’m a bait caster guy for bass. I typically use spinning for salt because of its benefits of drag. My question is how do you set your drag on your bait casters. In the bass world we typically lock down the drag. Bass are not that strong and if ya do need some drag you can use your thumb. That’s not an option with big reds. So like I said please let me know how you typically set your drag while casting.

For saltwater fish which run faster and farther than freshwater fish, I set my drag to be 25%-33% of the lightest line on the reel. Thus, if using 20lb. Braid with a 30lb. Leader, drag is set to approximately 5lbs.. Because saltwater fish not only swim away from the rod but usually turn and run on an angle, the actual drag on the reel/line is equal to the drag energy at the reel Plus the drag energy of all line that is in the water loading up the reel/line due to water resistance. All I needed to figure this out was to load up and have the rod explode on saltwater fish! Two different times. Awesome experience…. but kinda expensive! Be well.
I'm trying to get used to baitcasters. I have one with 15 lb and one with 25 lb braid. Would I be better off with braid or flouro for just getting good at casting accurately without backlashes? Should I switch one? Both? I'm in the VA Beach area.

If you're new to it, I would stick to braid for now. Fluoro is more susceptible to backlashing but the main thing is braid is more resilient. Kinks in fluoro from backlashing weakens the line and you will either be breaking fish off or changing line endlessly.

@@phillipchristensen3202 thanks! I guess I'll stick with what I have. I've never filled a spool with fluoro on a spinning rod either, just mono and braid. I'm thinking about trying fluoro on a couple spinning rods.

@@comfortablynumb9342 I've tried straight fluoro on spinning gear a couple times and didn't have great results. Pro bass guys do it but they change line every day so it doesn't build up as much memory. I'm sure extremely high quality (and expensive) line helps too lol. What are you targeting in your area? Never fished up that way. I'm in FL panhandle.

@@phillipchristensen3202 I just moved here but I plan on catching flounder, redfish, bluefish, maybe stripers, sea trout, and hopefully cobia. There are lots of croakers and spots, last night I caught a little shark and a bluefish. So lots of different fish. I grew up in Sarasota fishin' all the time and I am familiar with lots of the fish here but not the area. I'll learn.

I’d start off using braid in the 30-40lb weights on your baitcaster… it will help the learning curve greatly
