5 Ways To Stop Backlashes !!!

Backlashing when using a baitcaster is very frustrating. In this video I'll share some of the things I do to minimize backlashes and make you more efficient.

Here's some of the equipment I use:

For Spinnerbaits, Chatterbaits,

Crankbaits and Rat-L-Traps

Frogs and Flipping (Heavy Duty Rods) Flair's Frogging and Flipping

Spinning Rods

Jig/ Texas Rig

Best All Around Rod

Bait casters

Line

Flipping and pitching

Reaction Baits

Braided Line

Braid To Fluorocarbon Leader

This is what I need help with thank you

Thumb the spool! Too many guys rely too heavily on the breaks and/or reel tension to control the spool speed and don't apply good thumb technique. Thanks for the tips B Lat!

best vid about baitcaster backlashing i've seen so far. great job b!

[mckmh]

I think the relax and let the rod do the work is the best overall tip. I don’t know how many lures I have casted off due to me being to stiff. Great video🎣🤙

[TwinCitiesOutdoors]

Very helpful! People often just talk about the brakes n spool tension to prevent backlashes. Great detail!

Hey B. Lat ... I use braided lineon my baitcasters and spinners most of the time and use a short mono or fluoro leader when I need to. Now branded I fish the salad more than I fish Open Water so braids really suits my fishing Style. I have found that if I loosen up my spool break on the handle side of the real a little more than the conventional wisdom says to do and use better thumb pressure I don't backlash too much. But I will say if I backlash braid it's a pain! It cuts right into itself the next a little harder to get out.

Real shit brother had to save to my watch later dude your so inspiring I've been watching this channel for 30 days maybe and I've bought a little 14 ft bass boat and 3 poles so far I'll be out there soon

I've never backlashed in my life but I'll share these tips with my buddy. 😁

I have most of my problems with braid. I like to think that I have mastered mono, but I am a freshman with braid. I will not use braid into the wind.

Thanks for sharing your tips. I guess backlash (aka "professional overrun) is something we all have to contend with on occasion and anything that helps reduce that possibility is always welcome.

Good stuff. Also I've noticed that if you turn your Rod slightly to the left and point the tip down when you're casting hard it creates a little resistance and helps reduce a chance of backlash.

Great video ... Thanks for sharing the details blat.

[jimmieglass]

another great video thanks for the tips

Nice tips man I still get back lash once in a while... I have been fishing for about 10 year throwing but I have got a lot better it just take time and practice for baitcaster lol been fishing for about 14 years

[Austin_Torres]

Just wanted to add one more thing on the advice here I also pre treat my line on mono the night before I go out to help reduce backlash Also helps remove the memory out of the line and make it some what feel
Like a fresh new line again so it doesn't spool up in the line.

I can throw a baitcaster pretty far. i just cant cast it worth a darn

[rwa]

Good points, especially about not over powering the cast. A baitcaster can be set up within a hair of going out of control, like a NASCAR at 200 miles an hour.

Brian your videos are great man. Thank you. Do you have any bank fishing videos out there?

[josephineganczewski]

[Bulldog]
