How to Use a Spinning Reel CORRECTLY

Hope you enjoyed learning how to use one of my favorite pieces of gear in all of fishing: the spinning reel. It will take you wherever you need to be and serve you well (unless your fishing in 3000 ft of water for swordfish... dont do that haha).

Comments are open for any questions you might have!

Much love, tight lines, and never stop fishing!

Thanks everyone for your patience (hopefully haha). I'm finally back and active after recovering the information for this account after many years of detective work. Look forward to more wart free... you guys know what I'm talking about... videos. I'm ecstatic to start sharing my true passion again. Tight lines and stay tuned.

Hey man event though you probably won’t see this, thanks for this. I have a fishing trip with my dad tomorrow and I’ve never fished before because I’ve always been sick as a kid. After watching this video I know more about fishing rods and thanks to you I also get to bond more with my dad tomorrow(hopefully).

*Great reel, **enjoyable.fishing** recommend very smooth and I love that you can change from left hand to right hand so easily. Gave it a 4 on durability because I haven’t had it long enough to rate it. Doing good so far.*

Recently purchased a spinning reel in an effort to get back into fishing with my sons. This video really helped me figure out what I was doing wrong. Thanks for making it!

YOU ARE A Great Teacher! THANK YOU! I Did Subscribe. Watching Again. I'm Moving To IDAHO And I Want To Be Ready! I Haven't Fished In 40 Years! I Turned 80 In August 2024, I'm Going Out With A Pole In One Hand And A BIG Mouth BASS In The Other! Remember, a bad day fishing is better then a good day at work! LOL🐟🐠🚤

❤❤ you legend! I couldn’t figure out why our 3 new reels kept unspooling line when a weight was on the end, and it’s because the little switch (I didn’t even know existed!) was on manual!!
Thank you so much!!

Two years old but still good info. I will tell my new fishing buddy to watch this. I fish a local city pond here on occasion. Usually if I don't have long to fish I go there because easy and quick access. I have been running into a young man the last few weeks. He was fascinated by my spinning reels. He had never seen one before in person undoubtedly. I asked him about what he used and he said "baitcaster" I said ah you mean spincaster. He very much said "no I mean the open face reel". Sure enough the next week I saw him again and he was using a baitcaster. He wanted to try a spinner but said he was worried he wouldn't be able to can't with it. I said well surely if you can master a baitcaster you can certainly use a spinner. I was wrong. I watched and tried to teach him for an hour. He absolutely couldn't cast it. Even super bird nested it twice. I can't understand at all how he can be a wizard with a baitcaster and completely fail at a spinner. Had a old timer even come over and try to help him. He couldn't be helped. It's just baffling to me that anyone would have trouble with a spinning reel and ace a baitcaster. I guess I take for granted growing up using both.
