How to practice Casting With a Baitcasting Fishing Reel

If you ask a seasoned angler about baitcasting reels, he will probably tell you that they are the most fun you can have with a Fishing reel. Some will also tell you that they are a lot harder to use than accepted spinning reels and beginners might have a hard time with them.

Both of these are true, and for most people the Fishing taste is improved with a baitcaster as you have to put a lot more in to it which leads to the base problems that you will run into sooner rather than later. Birds nests are one of the worst and every baitcasters nightmares and these occur when you are casting. It is the term given to the line when it becomes all tangled. While no kit is lost, you may end up losing a some hairs as you have to manually unthread the line to untangle it. It is good to carry something for this in your Fishing box such as a knitting needle as they can help to pull line out of knots.

This isn't the only problem you will encounter though. Casting requires a lot more finesse and concentration. You will need to convention your wrist and thumb movements and timing in order to be able to cast with precision and to forestall the spool overunning. Some simple training will help you to control this and you can do this at home if you need too - all you need is a 1 ounce sinker, your reel and rod.

Adjust the speed of the reel so the sinker will fall to the ground gradually so it is not in free-fall. This should be optimum when the sinker is on the floor and no extra line is arrival off the reel. When you are done, wind the line back in and hold the rod out straight. Release the brake but keep your thumb on the line. Remove your thumb when you are ready and try to stop the sinker hitting the floor but get is as close as you possibly can. Keep doing this until you are more often than not getting it just before it touches.

You can develop on this, by doing exactly the same but trying to cast the sinker into a bucket. You should hold your thumb on the line until the rod reaches a transmit position which is when you release. As the sinker gets closer to the bucket or ground, get ready to press your thumb on the line to stop the line being fed. Move the bucket added away as you get better.

Remember, as you have the line on a heavy break it does not feed much at a time. This will help safe you against over spooling and birds nests. When you are doing this for real however, the line will be fed differently to be sure to convention the same technique for real when you use your baitcasting reel next.
