Your videos are the best, straight to facts without all the fluff and opinions of the other channels! I would love to see a how to: reel maintenance, video.
Thank you! Did full service of many reels this year but when I ran across my dads Spincast reel I was unsure about line twist. Your video confirmed what I thought was right so it was nice to know I was on the right track. :)
@@FishingwithNat thank you I have actually fished all my life here in middle Tn but I’ve never used anything but a spinning reel, and I got a little trigger spin for using in little creeks, and I can’t even spool the thing. Ha
OH MY GOD, I needed this video months ago and years ago and a year before that. wow thank you! :D this is the perfect knot and video. Let me subscribe bro
my issue with fixing line videos is their fingers be in the way so you don't even get to see the knot lol so frustrating. Been wanting to go back fishing w/o buying new poles for over a year now! Just imposter syndrome when my lines got bad
I always wanted to buy spincast reel for someone who is newbie, but i never ever saw it anywhere here in europe haha. Which one would you recommend, that can last and survive salt. Are spincasters slow due to smaller rels and smaller spools ?
They tend to be slower and heavier than a spinning reel or baitcaster. I don't personally use spincasters anymore, but they are nice for beginners to learn on. The one in the video is a KastKing Brutus and it is fairly fast and lightweight for a spincaster.
Love the simple and effective video format. And believe me, I learned the hard way to knot (haha pun) never use braid on a spincaster reel. 😅 the line would bind on itself more than I was able to make casts.
@@ChrisLikesVlogs no. Braid line and Spincaster reels are incompatible. Braid line has no give and no line memory. Monofilament has both and Spincasters need that. (Believe me, I love the ease of a Spincaster but they will always have their issues and bind up is one of them. All you can do is release the button and pull out line until you reach the bind. Then reel in with some tension on the line so it winds on nice and firm.

Aside from the video topic. If you remember how i said about that world pike record here in croatia in my city, NEWSFLASH, also world record seabass not farm from it aswell, in closest sea near brackish water, monster of 14kg. But another "surreal" NEWSFLASH, a guy saw 2 big seabass cruising around the yacht dock, took spin rod and casted, hooked 3kg pike instead haha. I know that american striper seabass lives in brackish water, but our european seabass are real sea creatures, so, that pike went really far into sea. I mean, i would flip out, if i would hook pike instead mackerel haha. Maybe those who infested our river with pikes, used ones from northern baltic sea, which can tolerate brackish water.
It doesn't work very well because of the friction on the outlet of the reel. It will wear down the braid and weaken it. Many spincast reels are flimsy too (not all) and they may not hold up to the strength of the braid.
I'm not Nat but I've used a bunch of spin casters. You can realistically work with line weights from 6- about 15# on most regular size spin casters. They just have very small spools compared to spinning and bait casting reels, so the extra diameter of heavier line really hurts your line capacity. 6-10# line is fine
As a general rule, it relates to the strength of the reel components and their ability to handle the forces that a heavier line could put on them. It's best to have the line be the weakest link in the chain, and not the reel or the rod. With a 10lb-rated spincast reel specifically, I wouldn't go any heavier because spincast reels tend to have a hard time with anything over 10lb mono. There's just too much friction between the reel cover hole and the pickup pins on the spool - anything over 10lb seriously limits your casting distance. And I wouldn''t use braid on a spincaster - even though it's thinner, it gets beat up by the multiple edges that it rubs on during each cast and retrieve.
I personally don't use spincasters any more, but I learned on one many years ago. This video was meant to help people spooling up a spincaster for the first time. I think spincasters can be nice for beginners, but spinning reels and baitcasters are better as an angler gains more experience and is ready for better equipment.
I’ve followed 3 videos and I can’t seem to get it right, it spoils fine but when I press the release button it doesn’t want to come out I have to physically pull it out
If it comes out smoothly when you pull it, that sounds like you have it set up fine. Especially if you're using a thicker line or a light lure, the line will not come out on its own. Did you try tying on a lure and casting it?

Yeah. It can also fray as it rubs on the reel cover and the pins on the spool. Thanks for your comments!
Did it work because mine won’t release😭

@@diaryofagoat-lass1023 yea I found that out the hard way lmao subscribe too😭
another great video
Thanks
How do you like that KastKing Brutus?
I prefer spinning tackle or baitcasters, but it casts well and has a pretty quick retrieve for a spincaster and relatively low weight.
Just wanted to say thank you for this. My brain could not figure out how to tie it the conventional way
Glad you found it helpful - thanks for the feedback
I liked your video straight to the point no mambo jumbo 🤔🤔🤣😭
Glad you liked it - thanks

Can u spool those with braid?
It doesn't work very well because of the friction on the outlet of the reel. It will wear down the braid and weaken it. Many spincast reels are flimsy too (not all) and they may not hold up to the strength of the braid.
Hey Nat why is it ill advised to put a heavier line on the reel than recommended?
I'm not Nat but I've used a bunch of spin casters.

@@FishingwithNat thanks a ton Nat, I really appreciate you and your channel!
@@jimbob4859 thank man!
@@KR-1zero Thanks - I appreciate it.
Why do you use a spincast reel; do you find a regular spinning(AKA fixed-spool) reel gets too many wind knots?
I personally don't use spincasters any more, but I learned on one many years ago. This video was meant to help people spooling up a spincaster for the first time. I think spincasters can be nice for beginners, but spinning reels and baitcasters are better as an angler gains more experience and is ready for better equipment.
Can i use fluorocarbon on zebcos??
Fluorocarbon tends to be stiffer so it will be tougher to cast with a spincast reel. I'd recommend monofilament.
What if you do go higher
Higher weight lines will have very short casting distance.
I’ve followed 3 videos and I can’t seem to get it right, it spoils fine but when I press the release button it doesn’t want to come out I have to physically pull it out
