I’ve honestly never heard anyone explain how to cast a bait caster better than this. Maybe it’s because I know how to do it now and have been fishing with them for years now but I don’t believe so. This is an awesome instructional video guys. Awesome job with this one. I can see this helping thousands of new anglers or new bait caster users that have always stuck to spinning gear.
*Used this rod recently on a river hike in NH. It performed beautifully **enjoyable.fishing** recommend as I had hoped it would, on a whole heap of river smallies using tiny torpedoes and tubes.*
Another tip, start off spooled with cheaper line (monofilament) like Trilene XL, that way if/when something goes wrong, you're only out $3-5 vs $20-30 for your super lines. -IA
alright, greatest point for me is the lesson on thumb pressure. I'm so used to spinning reels where you let your finger off to cast. so I was reapplying my thumb slamming on the brakes with my thumb. multiple birds nests have been had lol, but I'm motivated after watching this.

Googan Lab topic suggestion for complete newbies: Rigging soft baits. Which side is up? Light or dark? Or does it matter? I have a worm that's green on one side, red on the other...so which side on top for a wacky rig? It must matter, or it wouldn't be made that way. Some baits are molded so (it appears) you can see "eyes" (like your bandito bug), so I guess that's on top, but some baits' molding isn't that detailed. Appendages: free them up? Trim them? Cut them? Remove them? I've read/seen some anglers dip their appendages in an attractor liquid. Can fish "smell"? Weightless? Texas rig? Carolina rig? Any other rigs? Love your channel. Started bass fishing last summer. Love your finesse rod. Keep up the good work on this channel.
I have nodded off to sleep waiting for 10:00 pm to roll around and missed the cast. 10:00am usually isn't a problem though. Sucks when you catch a fish at like 10:13, and then have to wait nearly 12 hours to cast again.
He speaks the truth. Practice is best. And you WILL backlash 1000 times before you get the hang of it. But once you do you'll never want to use a spinning rod again.
I have a round conventional casting reel and i dont use thumb control and i dont get a blacklash or birdsnest ever! I upgraded to using soley conventional reels about 2 years now and have not gotten a birdsnest. For some reason the low profile baitcasters are notorious for backlashing and thats why you need accurate thumb control. Sometimes you cast correctly and for some odd reason the thing end up in a big mess. If you cast a round reel all you need is to set the spool tension knob to where the weight creeps downward, then cast it with no thumb at all. You wont birdnest
god this video would have been so helpful when I first started using a bait caster about 4 years ago there wasn't really anything out there like this I hope a lot of people who are debating on weather or not to use one because they don't know where to start see this video
Go to the Bill Dance Outdoors channel. He has whole episodes devoted to that very topic. That guy has forgotten more about fishing than most of us will ever know.
LFG really out here with a $500+ reel on a $100 rod 😅 No disrespect to Googan green series rods, but just odd putting a Ferrari engine in a Honda Civic
Man this made me laugh hahha totally agree, reels like 700$ and really nice, on a rod worth so little. Have heard iffy things about the googan rods also. Love googans tho. And Shimano, especially the DC series.
Amateur! 😂 A real pro baitcast fisherman uses only one hand to cast and to hold and control the rod and the other hand to reel. To move the rod from right to left and from left back to the right is clumsy and hilarious! 😂
Congrats to LFG aka the GOAT on getting a million subs!!!

Me either. Most don't even mention using your thumb.

By far best teaching vid on the interweb for using a baitcaster

This is the one I’ve been waiting for awesome LFG thanks bro

Watching from VA while the power is out!!! These vids are fun to watch even though I already know the majority of this stuff.

These videos are so helpful
Do we still release at 10 O'clock if we are using pacific time or is that be 8 O'clock?
😂😂😂😂

Imagine as you’re casting it turns to 10:01 before you release. Damn.....
Good one. Bet you guys are fun to fish with.
Thanks for the tips bud. Needed that

How much u wanna bet that this is going to be their most viewed video
Awesome stuff!!
Where the hell were you at 10 years ago when I needed this advice, lol.
Just went out with my baitcaster shit bricks and came back and watching this videos thanks man
Yeah, I thought mine was broke since "it wouldn't cast right" and the line kept spooling up on me. Go figure it was user error all along!
Can you make a video on how to choose a bait casting rod and reel
lmao when i first started i said "why get those when i have a spinning combo" lmao now i have a few bait casters lmao
I’m impressed...you managed 3 lmaos in one comment
@@TheFishingMommy that's what I was thing, lmao

Thank you!
Question why does my line snap mid cast it happens when i cast it like stronger and also does a spinning rod have to do with anything?

My line seems to stick coming off the spool and won’t cast smoothly.. how would I fix this? I’m using super slick 15lb braid
I fucked the middle of my spool then I reference this vid 😂 noice thank you and Imma fix my mistake and try again
I have issues with my left arm/elbow and wrist so need a 'wrong' handed reel. Any tips?
Congratulations
I need that performance shirt! How do I get?
Good Info...Thx
Cast control knob aka tension knob. And thats a 2 o' clock on our end.
I'm wondering what happing to some of the googan guys having give aways
god this video would have been so helpful when I first started using a bait caster about 4 years ago there wasn't really anything out there like this I hope a lot of people who are debating on weather or not to use one because they don't know where to start see this video
Ahh so that's how you cast. I've just been throwing lures at bass with no luck
How DO I BECOME A MEMBER OF THE SQUAD Mr. LFG?!?!
bro i didnt know u should put ur thumb over when casting and i did a really hard cast. that backlashed hard
Anyone know name of the Reel he is useing? Is it an Antares? Or a Daiwa Zillion?
Make a video on the Googan Clickbait
I think I'll stick to my open reel 😂
I want to learn how to brake down a lake

What reel is he using?
45
Nice vid but the background music is distracting and annoying. Still gave a like.
Yeet
First
If you use your thumb,you should go back to a spinner
Your pretty dumb eh?
Ff e
1st pls I someone at googan sees this msg me I have a killer bait idea
Amateur! 😂
