My bro always does

My brother slams them with those

I never catch shit with those things. I flip em an toss em all over the place and get nothin.

I'm right handed and started with left hand retrieve reels.. felt natural. I did, at one point, try to fish with right hand baitcaster because all the pros do it on TV.. never got used to it. it just felt unnatural to jerk, twitch, set the rod with your weak hand. It's like trying to write with your weak hand. You can train your weak hand, but it's never going to be as good as your dominant hand.

The thing about fishing is that you're not 1vs1 another human like in other competitive sports. You're only 1v1 or 2 or 3 a fish, so these people don't realize the importance of maximizing every advantage they have by using a left hand reel if you're right hand dominant.

No offense bud, but you need to read that little white book that comes with the reel.. You might find there's another setting as well... I have 3, two 200s, and 1 , 150, and I have never, ever, had a problem, even in 30mph winds, and I've fished them 10 hours a day straight... I weigh 165lbs...and you go to the gym, lol... That's the problem, your getting what your paying for, but you don't know how to use it.... READ THE BOOK, READ THE BOOK, READ THE BOOK-!!!

Biggest large mouth I ever hooked did this to me

Not sure what your shoes are supposed to look like But you have to set the hook a little bit better than that

I hate it when I don't get a fight with the fish unless it's a small sunfish or brim or bluegill Or war mouth

White shoes while shore fishing is brazy😂

Not sure where the video started, but it never looked like he set the hook

Yea that's why you don't bring them in like that lol how old are you 5

should've used a Googan BanditoBug

That happened to me today bro I was so made it was a huge trout

Dude no joke that makes me soo mad

Great info will be incorporated into my attack

What kinda reel is that?

I think the fishing industry looked at baseball and how a person holds/swings a bat and applied the opposite logic for some unknown reason. Right handed batter, right hand stacked on top of left hand. So while casting it would feel more natural for a righty to have their dominant hand on the reel and left hand on the butt of the rod. However with fishing the exact opposite was implemented. So when using a right handed reel a right handed person is forced to cast like how a left handed person swings a baseball bat, left hand stacked on top of right, which is why you see people casting and then switching hands for the retrieve. So realistically, “left handed reels” should be considered right handed reels.

You're catching fish that mostly average less than a pound. I fish big saltwater for fish that can weight up to 30 lbs, so a longer handle is needed for leverage. Nice video though.

You have to feather your thumb and stop the line when it hits the water

Its not the arrow its the indian. Shimano is the best in it's game.

You must’ve got a couple bad ones bc I love mine. I was and for the most part have been a revo man bc the shimano I’ve owned just weren’t smooth. Fast forward years and I bought a Curado dc and a chronarch and I fell in love with my cdc. The cheap arch not so much but I hear so many people talk good about them that im feeling the same about it as you are about yours.

Only retards that are right handed will use a right hand retrieve reel. Retards. Never understood it. I’m right handed and I use a left handed retrieve bait cast reel.

As a professional fisher , there is no wrong way as long as you enjoy the hobby , feel good about it , and catch fish . Stop making misleading titles of videos .

This answered everything i needed to know, Thank you!

I kinda do the same thing with my glide baits

Fill the spool per the instructions, they are designed to work with a completely filled spool.

Need to see the setup, did you tighten the spool before you tried casting, like the instructions say?

Idk why but I've I always used left handed spinning reels, mostly because that’s how I started. But I always used right handed baitcasters. Up until now I finally got a left handed bait caster and immediately noticed a difference.

Exactly! You are doing it the correct way! Why did you ever had doubts about your method???

It actually makes perfect sense because if you think about it from a spinning reel side the handle is on the left.

The hand switching didn't make sense to me. It seems much more natural for me (I'm left handed) to use a right handed set up.More strength and control for me that way, just like you say to the rightys.

Thanks for the video and the update. I'll watch mine to see if it has similar issues.

I would say this if you reel with your left hand on a spincast then reel with your left on a baitcaster.

U cannot fish I have a slx dc and it’s better first of all it shouldn’t backlash adjust ur tension and when ur pulling a backlash out keep ur thumb on spool not just pull it out like a dumbass

I got 2 faulty ones back to back. I have to drive all the way back to the store I picked it up from. I'm going to give them one more chance before I just return it all together and spend my money elsewhere

Wish this was longer video, i have rewatched. Jimmy Houston a casting champion, videos but back then cameras and angles bad, i cant duplicate his technique. I am pretty good caster , and I practice faithfully damn near weekly. There are casts I need work on.... One is around the world cast

Your argument sold me when my toothbrush while held in my left hand, ended up in my right nostril.

How do you like the reel

recently made the switch to a lefthanded baitcaster. i had always used a right BC but for spinning, i used it lefthanded. it just felt mre natural to me using a spinning reel lefthanded with a lift,reel technique. baitcasters felt more natural to me cranking with my right hand. i dont know why, it just did. made the switch, and i was surprised that i really like a left handed baitcaster. im a bit of an oddball though. i write with my right hand, but swing a bat lefty, so maybe im just goofy.

So then why do people do the opposite of what you are saying. I am also right dominant but switch the rod to my left hand after the cast. It feels completely natural doing that. I also bat left handed in baseball which also feels natural to me. I understand what you are saying but you aren't 100 percent correct 100 percent of the time using your argument. I'm proof of that and many people will tell you the same thing. Why else would I do it?

Right dominates but fish a left-handed r elw. Just feel right about o me.

none? lol

Hello, I have similar problems with my Shimano Curado DC 201. Mode 1, DC switched off, spool tension is set and everything is fine. but as soon as DC is on, the reel becomes unpredictable.

This makes perfect sense, and this is the way that I fish. About a month ago I bought my first bait caster and it never made sense while being right handed the retriever would be on the right hand side. Switching hands in between seems like it’s uncomfortable and takes up too much time.

Growing up and fishing in Florida I always used LH spinning reels fishing flats. So when I started to really get into bass fishing and buying baitcasters I naturally picked left hand reels. My cousin thought it was weird because the selection fo LH bait casters were hard to find. Florida requires a lot of pitching and flipping, well he lost a rod, reel and big bass one day while changing hands. He did have a reel that had a flipping switch so when he let go of the switch there was no free spool. He doesn’t use those reels anymore but understands why I use LH retrieve.

Dude your a about spot on. I call it left retrieve not left handed because im right handed and its what every right handed person should using. Cast with your right arm and reel with your left. Feels way more natural and your ready when your bait hits the water.

What kind of rod is that

A common question from new fishermen. Personally, I am right handed and I routinely use a left handed bait casting reel. I cast with my right hand and I crank with my left. I’ve tried both left and right handed reels and it just seems natural to cast with my right and crank with my left. No switching of hands or fumbling on a hook set. Thanks for bringing this often ignored question to everyone’s attention!

Bro u dont know how to settings your dc?
