The baitcaster is one reel that is used often, especially in bass fishing. In this video I want to show exactly step by step…how to use a baitcaster and how to learn how to cast it like a pro. I think people make the baitcast reel to difficult at times..and it can be simple if you break it down!
BassFishingHQ is dedicated to teaching people how to catch more and bigger bass. I will go over different bass fishing tips & techniques that will put more fish in the boat or on the shore. Whether you are just starting out or a seasoned tournament angler, my goal is to help you catch more bass.

Great video has everyone 👏
First tutorial on baitcaster I ever saw had a really good demonstration on how you want to set your spool tension when first learning. Hold the rod at a 45° angle and set the tension knob to the point where your bait falls, but when it hits the ground or water, the spool doesn't continue spinning. This really helped me when I first started using baitcasters about 3 years ago.
Also, I think a good addition to this video would be how to effectively deal with backlash. There will be a loop of line that holds down your line going out. Grab the loop and pull it a bit, then try unspooling some line. You may have to do this a few times, depending on how bad the backlash is. I rarely find backlashes that require any line cutting.
i needed this ty
Man i used to be a SNIPER with baitcasters, then i got addicted to Ultralight Jigging 🥴
I love ur channel so much, I’ve learned so much from you
Good video. Will give this a try in the next few days when the rain stops. I'm a beginner myself when it comes to baitcasters
I picked up a Daiwa Tatula 100 and it has their zero adjustment, I know some say you still may need to play with the tension knob, some say leave it alone. Would you recommend leaving it as is from the factory and try a few cast and see what happens or do like most videos that say loosen the knob until your bait falls and adjust it everytime you change lures?
Great tips thank you I am still working on getting better with my baitcaster I seen you casting at a bucket is that a good way to improve your accuracy
👍
Every time I’m outside casting in the yard somebody always asks, “What are you fishing for?”
Drives me nuts. 😂
Your the man I have my basics down but I figured I'd watch anyway.I only dream of skipping like you do I am starting to learn how to cast with both arms just takes practice. even if there not bitting.I start practicing with my other arm
Excellent. That first skip was beautiful.
Really no lure like a casting plug? Really you guys don't own any acme Kastmaster spoons/blades baits? I've used my Amce Kastmasters to catch all kinds of bass from smallmouth, largemouth & hybrid white bass.
I use an Old Pistal Grip 5-1/2 Foot Rod for Accuracy and it doesn't Back Lash very easily.
It's great for Spinnerbaits, Buzbaits, and etc. It's my favorite Baitcaster Rod.
An Oldy But Goody. 🎣
I also reset my tension when I change Baits.
Great video! Just stop saying actual and actually. Whew
Medium heavy rods are not the best to learn on. They don't always have enough flex to whip a lure out there. Some MH rods I have found are too stiff for a beginner to really maneuver. I don't think the baitcaster is hard to learn, it's using the rods characteristics that makes more of a difference.. The reel is just a piece of machinery.
@BassFishingHQ,
I have never used a bait caster. I fish primarily finesse type stuff. 1/8, 1/4 and every so often 3/8oz. What kind of setup would i need to fish these lures weights? Normally guys who fish bait casters fish much heavier gear. Thanks
Love your expertise
I’m older and only started using a bait caster recently and love them. Haven’t had or made fishing, (my favorite pastime), a priority, but this year I’m going to make it my main focus. I like them a lot. This year, I’m breaking my PB’S.
CONTROL YOURSELF
Back in the day(lol)I used clothespins cause they weigh about as much as a anchovy
That was the best teaching tutorial on this subject that I have ever seen. You are a great teacher. Thank you so much!
😂 That was a good intro with TRF
Don't know if anyone else has mentioned this but I would also add that typically if it backlashes on the beginning of the cast, it is the spool tension and if it happens at the end of the cast, it is the brakes. Great video though! Keep it up!!
Great content, I needed this. How different are the casting techniques when sitting kayak fishing?
Sliding Tyler in there was smooth
That clip in the beginning 😗👌🏾 work of art
Lake break please
Thanks.
If I may, let me add, if you are a Kayak fisherman and will be sitting the majority of the time you are fishing, find a way to simulate casting from a seated position. I often spend time in the early spring sitting on my porch steps, or in a lawn chair casting at a coffee can, or at the gap under a 2×4 set across a couple of cement blocks set at various distances and angles in my yard. This is important I feel, you can't utilize your body in the cast the same way while sitting as you can while standing. Getting used to the difference can have a big impact on how you position yourself towards the target of a cast.
As a bank fisherman I just cast however is possible from the location there is almost always something in the way unlike casting from a boat also I tend to need to make a lot of longer cast as I can’t just put my boat right where I can make easy casts that said I do think you have one of the best casts I’ve ever seen you skip really well compared to almost anyone else on YouTube that I’ve seen so I take your advice seriously
Wondering how many takes to get 2 in a row… 5, 10, 100?
lol I love the tie in with Tyler . Lol
Serious skillzzzzz!!!!
use left handed reel and u don't have to switch hands between casting and reeling XD
Best tutorial on the use of baitcaster for beginners I've ever seen. Thank you!!!
A very good video. However, it looks like you have a lot more than 1 1/2 to 2 ft of line from the tip.
My biggest problem on the cast is knowing when to take my thumb off the line. Seriously affects my accuracy.
Tyler (and all) how much of a difference does the quality of the reel have on reducing backlash? Is an $80 one from Amazon any more or less susceptible than a $250 high end model? BTW, that cast into Mr. TRF at the start was priceless.
Excellent!
That skip cast technique is what I'd like to be able to do.
For now…….. basics done well!
Great video geezer!!
You should sell Finn sleepwear. I sleep in sun shirts during colder months because they are so comfortable, cooling and covers you full arm.
Can be the best video i have seen on how to use a baitcaster. Or multirulle as we say in sweden:)
USE THE CORRECT REEL!
Use your weak hand for reeling.
Cast & fight fish with strong hand/arm.
Choose L/R-Handed reel accordingly. <— USE THE CORRECT REEL!
Keep rod in your strong hand. (Between casts even!)
DO NOT … repeatedly swap rod between hands like … SO MANY PROS DO! 😂
I love my US made sun shirts. They are great quality. I'm working on a my tree bass fixation. 😮
Seems like I found a new favorite video on the channel! 🎥 What other videos do you recommend from this topic? 🤔😆😆 : 😇,
Loving the vids man, keep it up!
