How to CAST a Baitcaster for Beginners

In this video, I demonstrate how to cast a baitcaster for beginners. It's important to be sure that you properly tune your baitcaster for each lure weight prior to casting. I highly recommend that you watch my fine-tuning a baitcaster video below before casting. Typically you learn to cast a baitcaster using the overhand cast or the sidearm cast. When casting you should really concentrate and make sure that you are using a good arc when casting to prevent unwanted backlashes. Have a look at these videos:

Thanks man! I've wanted to buy one for ages but was afraid I'd totally hate it when the shop guy was describing it ... but watching you use it .. I could do that! I so want one now !

“Good chance you will get that birds nest” he says...more like 110% chance u will get it...this video saved me from chunking my bait caster in the lake and teachin my kids about 3k new cuss words 😂

On my first cast ever with a baitcaster a bird’s nest was created, and I had to cut away about 200 feet of line. I watched your video and now I can cast with confidence. Thanks!

Thank you! The clerk at Cabella’s spent nearly half an hour trying to explain how to use my new bait caster and made it so complicated but your video made it so easy. After I adjusted the tension like you showed, it was so simple!

I've wanted to get into bass fishing for over a decade but was always apprehensive about baitcaster reels. You're the man for posting this. It was VERY well explained. Thanks for the help.

[garydirks]

Great tutorial. The bird nest has kept from going to a baitcsster for years. You just made up my mind for me. Thank you.

Newbie fisher here,

I Just bought my first fishing pole ever yesterday. I bought one with a Baitcaster and I never knew how hard they were to learn at first. I've been getting birdnests everytime I cast out.

This video has helped a lot. Thank you so much!

[octaviofuentes]

i remember years ago watching one of your videos on how to use a bait caster it helped me a lot now is time for other people to learn thanks joshh

[michaelvargo]

Nice advice! I've watched many vids on this subject but this is the first one that mentions the motion being a smooth arc rather than having a sharp beginning and end. I'm a casting reel newbie so I'm looking forward to trying this technique out!

First time fisher here. Didnt know what I was buying and ended up with the baitcaster (i was relying on a friends suggestion since they fished before). Anyway, trying side casting and then overcasting, I can firsthand say, over was the worst idea I had and the bird nesting I always heard about hit hard lol. After watching this video, I did the lure drop to floor test and tweaked the brake and tensioner and cant wait to SIDE cast again tomorrow for some hopeful longer distance casting! Thanks for the video, very helpful for a noob that mistakenly jumped right into the pro line! All in or nothing right?

Thank you so much! I bought one of these about a year ago, I haven’t really used it though because I’ve been too scared to. Now I’ve been casting it perfectly thanks to you!!

[joshuarogers]

Simplified it so well for me I appreciate great men like you in this world

[FMNikoyo]

Getting back into fishing after not doing it since HS and your stuff is really helpful, man.

[samsparks]

I JUST started with a baitcaster this summer and the backlashes were insane... You pointed out every mistake I made LOL This is a great video, I feel confident to get back out there and try again!

[trishwathen]

You have got me the courage to get a bait caster because of you helped me so much thank you 🙏.

[grizzly]

My fist time with a baitcaster was tremendous I've got the worst birds nest I've ever had which was expected. Now looking back at this video which was very helpful and much appreciated. I highly recommend making a Playlist of tuning baitcasting reels, how to spool reels, how to clean reels, and cast reels. Ands always God Bless.

[flipmyjonboat]

I’ve always been a spinning reel fisherman and wanted a baitcaster and within the first min & a half, you helped a ton! Subbed and look forward to bingeing your channel!!!

[DeadDeereTV]

Great video, I've been using baitcasters for years and never knew that there should be an "arc" in your rod. No snap in the rod, thank you sir!

[johnkriete]

Mine is sitting in the corner waiting to be un-birdnested.

[manueltavares]

Just wanna day thanks for your videos. I just bought a bait caster and had no idea what I was doing. First try I think I was untangling the line more than fishing. So I went home looked for videos and I watch yours. Came back the next day and I have had no issues. Thank you and keep coming with the great videos.
