Thank you, my dads passed away and he took me fishing alot as a kid but only taught me how to cast the kind of pole that has a button since I was so young. Now a single mom to a 4 yr old boy and taking him to a cabin for a weekend and out on a boat to fish. Bought a spinning reel rod but didn't know how to cast it. Thanks so much

Hope all instructional video are like this. Saves more time and less stressful

This is a bad video; it doesn't follow the rules for instructional videos. There's no loud annoying music; there's no irrelevant information about the speaker; the speaker speaks plainly and clearly; it presents all relevant information and only relevant information; and in general it presents information efficiently without wasting the viewer's time. It violates all Youtube rules and customs for instructional videos.

Awesome tips! Thank you for sharing. I just got into fishing and just learning the ropes, or strings :).

When I was a teenager, I had a spinning reel that had a little handle on it, so that when you wound the handle backwards, it would come to the top, and when you extended your index finger to pick up the line, you pulled that lever and it opened the bail. I have no idea what this feature is called, and I can't find a single spinning reel in any tackle store, fishing equipment store, or sporting goods store anywhere that has this function. What is that called, and where can I find a reel with it?

Might be silly but I have never been able to master the spinning reel.
Practice makes perfect but that rule doesn’t apply to me apparently 😂

[shawneldridge]

Totally love spinning reels, the only reels that i will use when i do my trout fishing.who doesn't love catching trout, the best fish to catch. Well besides crappies

Bought a Shakespeare rod today, took it out and got nothing but tangles from the very first cast. Been fishing for about 12 years now and have never NOT gotten to drop a single line during one of my day trips. Complete waste of money, off to Walmart to return it.
