2024年3月6日 · Hey Studs, Looking to add some baitcasting to my arsenal. Always been successful with spinning reels, yet I would like to expand now. My budget is about $120 and my focus is the fewer backlashes--the better!😬 Anything come to mind & what line do you recommend? Thanks in advance, Reg

2016年7月28日 · I learned on an older Shimano Curado 100D. I bought it used on Ebay. $100 right now seems to be a pretty good deal for a well cared for but not perfect one. I always suggest going the pre owned route for a first bait caster for several reasons. You get a better reel for the money. Better reels are easier to cast well.

2020年4月17日 · Hey guys, I have a few questions about using backing on a baitcaster as I've never done it before. I just got a Curado K and some 40 lb braid. 1. Will 14 lb mono be good to use as backing? 2. How much of the spool should I fill with mono before tying on the braid, and what knot is best to use? 3....

2019年11月21日 · Guilty of using left handed retrieve on a spinning reels and going to left hand bait casters. I tried right handed bait casters at first and it just wasn't working for me. I picked up a left hander and it was like magic. I have tried using a right hander a few times since then and it just feels weird now.

2012年11月12日 · With 6 Lb mono/FC line and a bait casting reel to cast effectively you needs a slower action rod with less power; medium action 2 power is ideal for 1/8 to 1/4 oz lures. The rod needs to be able to bend under the weight of the lure at 1/2 the length of the rod to start the spool to rotate at the proper speed, then the lure must continue through ...

2023年8月4日 · I’ve got two rigs with braid, one bait caster, which is my pitching and frogging set up. The other one is a spinning set up, it’s my dock and skipping rig….. still can’t skip a bait caster….Well I can for a little while, then it turns ugly. So, …

2014年10月26日 · And some bait casters come with a combination of two of those, or even all three, which can make it seem even more confusing. So let me take you through each one. The first one is the pin kind and the reason I want to show that first is because regardless if your unit comes with just one or with all three, the pin is the first one you want to ...

2013年3月18日 · So I got my first bait caster setup, and the only thing I don't like about it is the drag. I can set it with the drag star, but then I or fish pull the line there's no clicking sound like on spinning reels so I don't know what's going on... are there …

2012年5月4日 · I just purchased a right hand bait caster last month after using left hand spinning gear and I regret it. Wish I would have bought a left hand bait caster instead. I don't mind the switching of hands but my problem is my left forearm gets warn out from using different techniques on the rod.

2017年3月16日 · A true Ned Rig (1/16oz. head with the bait) would be tough unless you are using a Daiwa SV spool and/or a specific BFS rod and reel. Spinning tackle is much easier overall unless you want to spend extra money on a very specific light line/presentation bait caster. If you choose a heavier mushroom head, you defeat the purpose of the Ned Rig.
