Hi Debo, I'm 44 years old. I'm from Germany. I started fishing round about 6 months ago, started baitcasting 2 months ago. It isn't easy to find german YT content about baitcasting. The mass of our fishers use spinning wheels only. Most of baitcasting anglers are newbies too. There's simply noone out there, who's growing up with this kinda stuff. It's sooooooooo helpful to see tutorials like yours right now!!! I guess, many years of experience are very helpful for teaching noobs like me to use gear properly! :D Thx a LOT, man! I appreciate your content more, than you could ever imagine!
Welcome to the DEBO Family of Dink Catchers !! 😄 I’m kinda in the same situation, I live surrounded be water, but I can’t find anyone to help me. Maybe because I tell them I’m 2 months away from 69!!!!!🥲😄😄🥲🤣🥲 Tight lines, Pete
The only reason I picked a baitcaster back up, is because of your three video lesson back in the day..... I currently have five baitcasters. Hands down the best instructional videos out there. 👍
Glad to see you showed the direction the line should come off the spool. I live by line should come off the top of the spool for baitcasters, bottom for spinning reels. Great tips, I use all of them.
Papa Debo still taking us to school. Never get tired of watching these how to viDebo’s. Learned how to adjust my first baitcaster watching these videos. Hope we can see more of these, sir!
In the dead of winter one year I ran across a Debo backlash- tip video. Seems like so long ago. But that one tip about there usually being only one lil loop section causing the problem, how to see it and pull it out... that little tip has saved me so many times. And I was certainly no Newbie when I watched the video.
You are the main reason I love my baitcasters, if it wasn't for you Debo I wouldn't be as educated to the glory of baitcasters, thank you so much dawg!
I love videos like this. I don’t consider myself an expert nor a novice but I definitely picked up a few good pointers from this. Excellent job my brother! 👊
Using using tape to prevent backlashing the entire spool is the best tip. I've had success with the 3M Blue masking tape. Also use tape to hold the tag end to the spool when it's not in use.
Tape on the spool that’s such valuable Intel especially for me be a beginner and fishing the River it’ll be easy to let line out. Such an amazing Channel
I have never had good luck with p line and don't know why ! I really like power pro or seaguar and few others ... great video , you showed me things I didn't know thanks bro !!
Berkley Big Game for beginners. Stuff comes on 1200 yard spools for ten bucks. Has a lot of memory, so every month or so you need to respool, but when you get the hang of casting and want to move to braid, you can use it as a backing to make your braid go further. I literally have had the same backing on one of my reels for four or five years now.
Thats honestly my exact plan. I just picked up 1st baitcastor, after 50yrs almost using spinning reels. So using the cheaper line to practice, then use whats needed for backing and braid !
I'm just starting to get into fishing, you helped me spool my new spinner reel and now im gonna try respooling my Dad's 70's baitcaster. Thanks for all the great advice!
I spooled it with 8 LB test mono for lighter lures, gave it some practice casts and found that it did cast well th-cam.com/users/postUgkxSlytCJqozTF7EbdP4LWP-HUXf9WRDJ0e , except that the anti-backlash setting had to be turned up almost all of the way to keep the "overcasts' ' down. I disassembled it, and found that if I potted some "shim washers" behind that anti-backlash magnet assembly, it got the magnets closer to the spool without rubbing, and I could get better control with about a 6 to 7 out out 10-Max setting. I also noticed that the handle shaft had some internal end play, maybe only 2 or 3 thousands of an inch, but it's still noticeable. If the anti-backlash and shaft tolerances were "tightened up" this would be a fantastic value. I've only used it for 4 days of fishing in a month's time, but I plan on keeping it.
I think my biggest issue is cutting myself short, I always use the line spooling device I have. I forget to add enough on to run the line on the pole. It doesnt feel like a lot when you put 100 yards on a reel. That 7foot plus is more more than you think.
so i switch from braid to monofilament then spooled the bad boy in my baitcaster as how i spooled braid lines into my reel, the usual thing, then long story short, i was out for fishing session yesterday using monofilament, threw my first cast using monofilament, it was a disaster, i saw it birds nesting in my reel in a dramatic slow motion, i went home broken hearted, imma try this, you just shared centuries old knowledge in a matter of 15 minutes, good game well played, sir!
I miss your because it's so informant on all kinds of products and reels I tell my friends about you and I'm looking forward to see you more new videos
ive been fishing for a while and i really want to be a professional and i didnt even know alot of these things thank you for this! wish me the best trying to go pro!
I just got my 2nd baitcaster....and some fluorocarbon line....15lb.... I was going to load it on the new reel.....but since I am not an experienced baitcaster user yet..... I took your advice and stick to mono..... not afraid of using fluoro, but I'd rather have a nice day fishing and not making a frustrating one yet..... I'll practice some more and then I'll load the fluoro...... once agan.....thanks for your time and all the info/tips/secrets.......
If your spool has holes in it like the one you have, you can run the braid through the holes before tying it to the reel and it will prevent it from slipping.
Im a newbie to your site. I just subscribed with watching my fist vid of yours. Been fishing all my life and always had hang ups with baitcasting reels to the throw it in the water/break it over the knee moments lol. I really want to learn a baitcasting reel and all the tricks involved. Yeah the open faced spinning reels are great, but i want to master the baitcasting reel. This first video gave me the confidence to try again!! Excellent video. 👍👍
I have one of those cheap suction cup base reel spoolers you can get on Amazon. I broke a rod, so I took off the base of the spooler, cut the rod down to about 2.5 feet, and attached the spooler to the rod. Works perfect.
Great tip! The shamano SLX is different they have holes just in the middle of the spool. Hard to get line through to the next hole to tie the line on the spool. I figure out just to stick the line in the hole and reel in. It will layer the line on top of one another then pray I don't get spooled by a big fish 😆
I just spooled up a lews lfs with braid, used a couple wraps of Electrical tape to help bed the line and then ran a uni knot and spooled it with hand tension. I hope it works well tomorrow!
I consider myself a spooling expert. I came here to pick this video apart. I have to admit, this is dead on. Well done, sir. Dammit, you stopped me! Seriously, very well done! Bravo! 👍👍🍻💯
I use to use a box like you have and then put tape around my pencil until the spool could turn but not freely- but then it would catch and start spinning the whole pencil and turn over the box- your spool goes rolling off down the hall- man it would make me so mad I used to get super frustrated trying to spool my reels. I think the little spooling station I bought- which is just a rod basically that keeps pressure on the spool so it doesn't turn freely- is one of the best accessories I've ever bought- really comes in handy. It also reduced the amount of tangles and issues I have with my reels, gained me a few feet on my casting- it's really helped me out. I honestly just bought it for convenience, the rest was just an unexpected benefit.
Thanks Debo , I bought first baitcaster a few months ago and have applied your tips to adjust brakes and avoid backlashes and have had pretty good results ( some backlashes , mainly the first week),thanks for sharing :)
Well done instructions. The tape trick definitely works. I recommend using clear Scotch tape on the spool to hold back those disastrous backlashes. I put the tape at half spool when spooling the new line, then at about the 3/4 mark. Last I have the tape with me when I go out and cast the 1st time and cast as far safely as possible. Then I pull of a few yards past where I would ever cast out line and put a piece of tape on each side of the lure. This trick I've used for years and has helped immensely. 🎣
Just about any tape will leave a residue on your line. Take a tip from professional photographers and movie crews and get some gaffers tape. Similar to duct tape, very strong and durable but it will not leave any sticky residue.
🔥🔥Holy crap!!! TAPE! Genius! I have to do this and check it out because I hate when I ruin a whole reel of braid or something else expensive. THANK YOU DEBO! 👍🔥🔥
Thank you brother it really helped, also love the vids man they are very informative, also 6th sense cranking would be an awesome vid and how to choose the right colors would really help me thanks bro keep up the awesome work
I’ve always had trouble with arbor knots I like to double wrap and use a uni knot (a tip I got from ish with fish) Good how to’s for beginners Congrats on the 100k!
Honestly if you’re at Cabela’s or Bass Pro buying braid, just ask for the employees to spool the reel using the machine. It’s free of charge and while I can’t speak for every fishing department, but at the Cabela’s I work at,all of the fishing outfitters use the machine for their personal gear, and we take a lot of pride in spooling customer’s reels to the same standards as our own. However, not every fishing department is going to put in as effort as we do. As a general rule though, the smaller locations tend to have fewer staff which means more individual experience on the machine. If you’re not sure just ask if they use the machine for their own stuff.
@@moozy0374 I just didn’t really use it! Shortly after I got it I started getting into Shimano and Daiwa stuff and getting other higher-end rods. I was just using the mach rod at one point and it was kind of heavy so I wanted to sell the combo to get a different rod since I never used the reel.
Good vid! I like your spooling setup. I have this little gadget that attaches to my rod, you screw the spool onto it and can manage the tension just by tightening the screw. The only thing I don't like about it is that you have to clamp it to the rod, which always makes me a little nervous. Even though its just a little bit of plastic.

I just watched and I agree.
I must have spooled up my setups over 100 times now and still found this helpful. Thanks man.
I bought my first baitcaster watching your videos DEBO!!!
I brought one too and I ain't know you have to put in threw the lil hole now I'm a pro at it now after looking at this make sure you set your breaks
Older vid yes, but I just got my first baitcaster and who other to come to than Debo to learn to spool! Let's Go!!
Glad to see you showed the direction the line should come off the spool. I live by line should come off the top of the spool for baitcasters, bottom for spinning reels. Great tips, I use all of them.
It doesn’t matter how many times you spool a bait caster hearing these tips are always good! Once again Debo excellent video 👊🏻👍🏻
Spooled dozens of baitcasters hundreds of times & still managed to screw it up last time! Timely vid!! Thanks!

I just learned how to spool a bait caster last week, and this is going to help be a bunch remember exactly what and what not to do, Thanks!
I love the box idea to hold the line! That will make it much easier.
Great tip with the tape! Electric tape leaves a residue after some time, use blue painters tape 👍🏼
Great ViDebo! I’ve never considered taping the spool to minimize line loss before! 💡 thanks for all you do! 🤙

I use SLX and Curado, still new to bait caster and love your great videos.
Thanks
Good tips. Tape trick is new to me! Two nickels are are exactly 1/8 thick for a max line capacity reference.
Thanks for all of the good tips. I'm a beginner and I definitely appreciate your info.
If your spool has holes in it like the one you have, you can run the braid through the holes before tying it to the reel and it will prevent it from slipping.

Definitely helps me out... Kind of new to bait casters
Would love to see an update on doing backing I’m fairly new but would like to use that method to make a spool of more expensive line last longer 🎣🎣🔥🔥
Yooo Debo thank you for the tip of using the holes in the spool to bring the line around. That’s genius
thanks for the tips Debo 👍🎣

Do the new LFS have bigger handles than the old ones? I love the power handles on the SLX and if Lews had them I'd definitely get one
Congrats to 100 K subs🥳
Great video, first cast is super important. I always get the line wet for the second cast.
I would add a decent weight lure 3/8-1/2 oz
