Buying My First Baitcaster!! & Fishing With It
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.ย. 2024
- I decided that it was time to take the leap! I've always used spinning rods/reels but I wanted to upgrade my arsenal and try out a baitcasting rod and reel! I've never used a baitcaster before so this was definitely an interesting experience!
Thank you all for showing so much support! We're almost at 1,000 subscribers! Craziness! Special video coming out at 1k! Lets keep this rolling!
Setup:
►Rod: Abu Garcia Vendetta
www.cabelas.com...
►Reel: Shimano Casitas 151hg 7:2:1 gear ratio
www.cabelas.com...
►Line: Berkley Trilene XL 12 lb
Cut me some slack! I am extremely new to this kind of reel haha. I'm sure there are still many more birds nests to come. Tight lines yall.
Fishing was done at Becks Pond in Newark, Delaware

Hey man, I work there and spooled your reel. Kind of crazy that i came across this video. but stop in again and if you keep birds nesting an lose a lot of line come in again and ill respool you.
Drew Brown that's crazy!! 😂
Whoa really!? That's actually really crazy haha what a small world , thanks for rigging me up man! And definitely! haha
hahah, No problem. I was like woah this kid looks familiar. very cool.
Awesome!

Dude, you caught fish and fun doing it. Don't give a second thought to what all these little girls on here are saying. I thought you did awesome for your first time throwing a baitcaster. Even the pros backlash their rigs. When I was learning I went ahead and bought two spools of the cheapest line I could find because I knew I was going to backlash it so bad. Bro, keep fishing and have fun. That's the whole point!
Will Wetherington true that!
ive had a baitcaster for like 5 months now and he is doing better than me
Will Wetherington thank you someone had to stand up to those babies
Exactly....I remember my first baitcaster 25 years ago and I suuuckkkkkeddd with it but you know what? I also wouldn’t have had the guts to film myself sucking with it.
Don’t listen to these idiots...half of them are probably still throwing a fairy wand on the regular
Yup I bout 99cent zebco line
I'm right handed but I reel lefty. I tried righties, but is weird
Same here -- tried a friend's righty and it felt really awkward so I just now ordered a lefty Kastking Royale Legend to go on a MH Ugly Stick rod. Wish me luck!! lol
Same here
Same man
Same bro
Same here
Your reel was rigged wrong there is a little hole that you put the line through
Haha
Not sure what happened there, he put the crank bait on and it wasn't in the guide. Any lure before that the line was
I was going to say
Yes
That kinda made me made lol
Most realistic fishing video ever posted on TH-cam. Lol.
Was that like a sneak diss to realisticfishing? If so you’re lame af
@@christianb8228 its because he had a lot of trouble fishing bro
Joshia fr bro he’s a little into deep with the TH-cam fishing community😂
Kilo916 facts😂😂 who tf out here sneak dissing fishermen 😂
@@christianb8228 he just meant other people probably would've edited everything else out until the bass and been like "nailed a bass first cast zero problems"
DUDE. THE LINE WASNT THROUGHT THE REEL EYE
S.E. BassinYT lol i just noticed that
S.E. BassinYT true i was literally screaming to the screen
S.E. BassinYT 😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂 shhhh lets pretend we didn't see that haha
S.E. BassinYT lol everyone makes mistakes man, ive done this a few times aswell😂
3:57
“Hopefully I don’t get any backlashes”
All baitcaster fishermen: haha nice joke
Haha for real
Nolan Connealy true
Haha yup
I was stupid when I first got mine and put a crappie kit on and still got a backlash
So true, took me so damn long to learn how to not just backlash 1 out of every 10 casts lmao
Hey bud the line needs to go through the eye of the reel
Took me a while what you were talking about then I saw it
Saw that too loo
He’s a complete noob at fishing yet he says he “ been fishing since I was a kid.”
@@the_toxicbadger2547 Obviously not with a baitcaster.
Look at 4:27 it is through the eye. Don’t be so critical. Think about your first time fishing a baitcaster.
The facts that the line didn’t go through the line eye kills me
if you look at earlier on in the video before he get's comfy with the birds nest's the line actually was through the hole, my guess is the angler took it out to get comfy casting baitcaster as they seem to take practice to get comfy with em and expected more bird nest's.
There’s a beautiful thing, called a line guide...
Lol yeah that was bothering me so much
Ya
Yep
Yeh lol
Yep
It's feels a lot more comfortable if u palm the teel
Thanks for the tip! Tight lines!
FirstStateFishing no problem dude
Slaunch Master Outdoors if you get the reel on the right side it's usually more comfortable and natural of a feel. That's how I learned how to use my baitcasters
I have 4 bait caster set ups. A Lew's Mach II, a Shimano Casitas, Abu Garcia Black Max, and a Abu Garcia Power Pro for muskies. I recommend learning how to setting the weight for the lure so it doesn't backlash. Tight Lines from North Dakota!
It's important to set up the reel before casting with it if you want to avoid those rat's nests. A sidearm cast is also preferable with this type of setup. It's been 2 years so I'm confident that by now you're good.
Him: "Oh no, bird nest again"
Me, an internet expert, having never used a baitcasting reel, but having watched several videos: "Need more drag."
Drag has nothing to do with it, he needs to put through the guide. He also needs to adjust his magnetic brakes and his line tension
Drag has to do with when you have a fish on your line if you have low drag more line comes out and more it just stops
@@IckyEmporerfishing You do know that baitcasters have about 4 types of drag, right?
It has nothing to do with drag
@@CristiNeagu magnetic brakes and line tension
Who else cringed when the line wasn't through the reel eye, and he almost bought a vendetta spinning rod instead of bait casting rod😅
Lol I'm still learning over here. I've always used cheap ish spinning combos, so I'm kinda learning as I go when it comes to upgrading equipment. Thanks for watching!
FirstStateFishing cheap? Says the one who buys a shimano reel on his first freaking setup😂
Cheap ish as in spinning gear not the baitcast setup..
Is that in lousville
Gavin Lone im from Louisville and was wondering the same thing. That cabelas looks alot like ours
anybody else catch at 7:59 the line was not through the reel eye
outdoorsman 18 ya lol
Your line isn't through the real Eye
Venom Power 18 yep
Venom Power 18 in the intro pic you could see it
yea
this is my favorite video out of all youtube fishing videos. it shows actual learning. you did better than i did when i first started out
I remember always getting birds nests when I got my first bait caster
Like everyone else? XD
Frog + 12lb line =👋🏽RIP
Donald Whitlock It's mono dumbass I've pulled in a stingray surfcasting with 12 ande mono. Mono can stretch unlike braid. If your drag is correct you can pull so much more than your line is rated for
That's not what I'm saying lol it's better to fish a frog with braided line idk why u had to be so mean lol
Donald Whitlock Sorry didn't mean to be hurtful man.
why are you surfcasting with 12lb mono?
Lol I knew somebody would say something about the frog! I was just testing different things out, I wasn't throwing into heavy cover and it was a pretty cheap frog. Thanks for watching! Tight lines!
You gotta set the brakes on ur reel between those lures cause their all different weights. That will fix ur backlash problem.
will howell brakes or tension knob?
Eduardo Carrillo you have to adjust both. Look up on TH-cam "how to adjust bait casting rod" and it will show you why each one does and how to adjust it properly.
Thanks for the tip! I'm starting to get the hang of it, tight lines!
FirstStateFishing try to thread your line in the hole on the baitcaster you will cast farther and less backlashes
I use thumb control and super loose breaks. If u can get the hang of that u don't have to change settings between luers and can get some mad distance.
I don't know why everyone is complaining so much, yes I know the line wasn't through the line guide but I think that using mono was a good idea because braid is hard to get out of a backlash and it's pricy, and baitcasters aren't exactly that easy to use when you first get them.
MILEHIGHBASSING2017 !!!! the way he holds the rod makes.me cringe
MILEHIGHBASSING2017 !!!! Even tho he new to bait casters and all it still made me cringe
MILEHIGHBASSING2017 !!!! I use 50 to 65 lb braid on all my baitcasters it is super easy to get backlashes out but to each it's own
I'm still new to my baitcaster and I had less problems with mono. Think I'll switch back to mono even though I just spent like $8 on braid that's spooled on. I've spooled it like 3 times with the same line and I don't even need to cast it. It keeps tangling itself.
Graham Pedersen ...Yes Graham, the kid is having a go. I also thought he did well for his first effort. I watched his vid to the end and enjoyed it, regardless of all the negative posts. He'll be ok. he's young and confident. Good luck to him.
Cheers
Make sure you line goes through the level wind and turn brakes on full untill you get used to it, you did well for your time. 👍
I Totally agree, i got my brakes now at 1,
Dude you did so good for the first time using a baitcaster when i tried to use one I couldn’t even get it out 3ft but you did really good and keep up the good work
Anyone notice he was comparing a spinning rod 6.6 to a bait casting rod 7? Not hating, just found it a little funny.
Lol
Herbert T. Outdoors lol
He wasn't looking , I've done that too when they display rods like that.
Scott R it’s not that hard to notice that ur eyes one rod are way bigger than on the other one
I was looking for the first comment about that and I’m 12😂
The bait-caster I started with was a Abu Garcia Ez Cast and it helped me a lot with learning how to cast and got me really good with bait-casters
Firststatefishing u didn’t thread the line through the hole
Sounds a little wrong
Spang Jones glad I’m not the only one to notice
I saw that lol
he didnt spool it lol
Sounds gay
Did u know that 6'6 vendetta was a spinning rod
I think he realized it lol. It's okay though because he has never used a bait caster before in his life and probably didn't do too much research.
S.E. BassinYT no it wasn't
S.E. BassinYT no it wasn't
S.E. BassinYT I've used s lot of rods and that's def not a spinning rod the eyes are way to small for a spinning rod
S.E. BassinYT oh yeah the 6'6 model was but the 7ft one wasn't I got confused lol
Wow this was a very well edited video and you weren't hesitant you had good commentary for a 6k channel great video man keep it up I'm sure you will become a great TH-cam
Damn you're hot Claire Brooks.Are you single by chance???
I inherited a bait casting rod and reel from a friend that passed away. I’ve been trying to learn how to use it and it’s been nothing but frustration. I’m gonna keep at it and I’ll catch up to your level eventually
Anyone else remember learning with a bait caster I learned on a 15 year old bait caster and it wasn’t pretty
Thank you for posting this. You’ve convinced me to sticking with my spinning reel.
😂😂😂 bro if u fish for bass make the jump. the birds nest are the only negative but you learn over time how to minimize them. I switched to baitcasters for bass/snook and my god im in love. (Still gotta have a couple spinning set ups - essential)
I just got one today and I bird nested one tone and that was bc I thought I could turn the breaks down and cast across my whole pond. It’s really not that hard to use and I caught 2 decent sized bass
That's what i thought too but bait casters are definitely a good idea for bass fishing
Same bro I bought a baitcaster then took it back the next day I hated them spinning reels are way better
Well update 2 months later I have a brand new metanium dc and I absolutely love baitcasters rn
2:18 I miss my old reel I used to have one like that it brings back so many memories 😢 I wish I can get a baitcaster setup again
Why cant you?
Just go out an but one for like 100$
I just won a Lew's TP1 Speed Stick on auction for $25 but didn't realize it was a baitcaster rod. I remembered this video and went back to watch it......you and your baby face lol. You've come a long ways young man. Thinking of pairing it with the Lew's AH1H American Hero Speed Spool.
The way he holds the reel kills me! 😂😜😬
Ty Bray it’s easier for lefties to hold it that way. And it’s quicker because you don’t have to switch hands like righties
Reese Judy I'm right handed and use my left hand to reel, got that from my dad. And it definitely is quicker and easier for me
comomeponga same
@@Dray12321 same
Same
The 6’6” vendetta was spinning
Crenshaw Outdoors I saw that too lol
i didn't know they make spinning rods shorter than 2.13m :o
U've come a long way bro. Humble beginnings👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Most awkward moment on the internet= 00:14 👍🏻
6:00 The most me moment ever recorded on this channel
Look at the dial on the side and put it on the highest number and the backlash won't be so easy to get.
Harrison Zorn the line will go out slow but for learning it’s good to practice with
Zachary Starling if he’s talking ab the weight dial then it will but I think he’s talking ab the braking system and it doesn’t kick in until it starts slowing down on its own and now there are crazy ones with chips in it
I have fished maybe 3 times in my life (im 32) and I'm jumping straight into a baitcast setup. Going fishing this week for the first time. WISH ME LUCK BOYS. Bout to make some bird's nest soup!
I would have got a lew's
Combo.😀
Just me.
My first combo a Lews lol
Jason .jr's weekly vlogs I have the lews combo and it is Awsome
C&C lawn care yeah they are the best
I just got a lews bait caster I love it
SHIMANO and diawa are wayyyy better
When you first started using your baitcaster did you set up your reel brakes first?
Nice setup. This video is making me want to jump in a plane, fly to the US, go straight to Cabelas... and spend the weekend in the store.
Best part is that you caught a fish on your first day with the rod. 👍
Bought my first bait caster a few days ago…it’s safely in its box and heading back to the seller.
When you use a bait caster try adjusting your drag when you change lures
If you get a backlash and get to a point where you can't pull it out, press your thumb down on the spool and reel in a couple inches and try pulling it out again
Thanks! That definitely helps, luckily I've been getting less and less birds nests! Tight Lines!
FirstStateFishing get yourself some power pro braid. best choice i made
baked bud lol
baked bud trolling haha
Coming back to this video I remember when I first tried it out it was so hard but I figured it out in one day and got my own
Sooo from the start. Love the shimono. Thinking of getting 1 2. Second Cabela's is dope. 3rd did you use ur tentioner.
No he did not lmfaoo
First of all, it is way easier to start with braid and second of all, u should have started out with a heavy lure they are easier to cast
You is right
14fishing mono is the easiest to cast
14fishing braid is harder to start with mono is a lot easier when you get birds nest with braid it’s harder to get out
14fishing actually monofilament line is easier to start out with because if you get a backlash/Birds Nest then it’s way easier to get it out. With braided line it’s much more challenging for someone who just got their first baitcaster. Also, he probably didn’t know to start out with a heavy lure. He probably just wanted to start with a simple frog lure.
You go by the lure raiting on the rod
My fav is rated 1 to 7g lures.
LRF Rod HTO Rockfish II 7ft.
I still can’t stop looking back on thsi video when I bought my first bait caster and I just watched thsi video and I went out and the same day buying the reel and rod I caught my on 7lb large mouth all in the same day also my dad took me out fishing after Bugging him for at least 10 years to teach me how to use a bait caster and fell in love on the first cast and the day after that is when I bought my first bait cast combo 😂 can’t believe I came thsi far tbh now with like 10 high end combos bc I have nothing else to spend money on
You did good for your first time my first time I got a birds nest every cast
4:33 im in backyard. reminds me of the googan squad episode when they were watching their old videos and peric was like got some backpack
Ayyyyyyyy googan squad love them
Where are you
Many years later and I will still continue to watch this vid
Caught a crappie “holy crap”
Its 3 years late, but congratulations
One of the best fishing videos on TH-cam to this day.
Arcasting ha ha bs
I know this is vedy late. But you did n awesome job
Towards the end the line was not in the reel eye
I remember when I got my first baitcaster it was not pretty birds nest after birds nest
I'm 48 years old, and been a catfisherman, and I'm in the same boat you just started. Going to get my first bait caster and good rod. Soon.
Did you adjust your brakes for the lure you're throwing first? Every time you switch. =)
bro the way he holds the rod... i got my baitcaster a couple days ago and didnt even do that
The pop guns at cabellas are sooo annoying
Zaza Zaza no they're not.
They're fun
True
Zaza Zaza yeah, worst thing when parents let their spoiled kids pop them extremely loud.
Watching people use a bait caster for the first time is always funny but hey you definitely did better than I did my first time
The way he holds the reel makes me a bit uncomfortable
He is obviously new to baitcasters not everyone holds their rods the same way guy
@@kyleagne3012 really? is he new? Maybe the fact that the title is "buying my first baitcaster & fishing with it" might already have explained that
@@diegoplante9748 then why did you waste your time saying your first comment dumbass

Come a long way from 900 subscribers man, congratulations
Amazing Video ❤️ I bought my Rod&Reel after watching your video from Terra-Explore.com and it’s been working amazing. IT was on SALE! Thank u again hope its not to hard adjusting to a baitcaster
Thank you i been looking to get a good deal online and they have a really good sale going on right now
I just found the perfect fathers day gift. thank you for sharing that site!
I'm exited i just placed my order for the Free lure they are offering.
Ok look at this bot shit don’t get it prolly a scam irirrjikbdaivurvhrbvtqirhtibtqitqihtqo grow Qi bro hit Gwinnett tb two yw NWT it hrqi horwhvqto htvovrqouo
bro better to learn with braid than mono....
zach royal yup^^ agreed
I might switch to braid when I need a line change, thanks for the tip though!
I started with a Shakespeare catch more bass combo from academy(39.99) combo and it was spooled already with 10 pound mono. Dude i learned how to use a bait caster with that and by the time i bought an Abu Garcia reel i couldn`t get a bird nest even if i wanted to. Is better to learn the hard way and by the time you get an expensive set up you`ll get to be really good at it. Nice vid by the way.
FirstStateFishing braid cast easier but a bird's nest with braid can be tough to get out just a heads up
zach royal dude fluorocarbon is the way to go
After I changed from spin casting to baitcasting, it’s hard to go back. The casts are so much more accurate and the distance is better
yeah I just got a baitcaster and im getting more confident with heavy baits but with worms, shiners, and those lighter baits I just keep getting birds nests. U got any tips on settings such as higher is lower breaks ect.
At 5:25 he said oh sh$#
The 6 6 rod was a spinning reel rod.
I noticed that's and was hoping he didn't buy that one
I love how I look back and it’s not even through The hole of the reel and he’s good with it in 2020
yo you’ve gotten so much better I remember watching one of your old videos that were absolutely garbage but you have got so much better I rate your content Offbrand A1
start out with a side arm cast its way easier not a overhead 😹
Thanks for the tip! Thanks for watching tight lines!
Isaiah Bittle i disagree i think overhead is easier
Saggy Cooper we don't care
I got this same reel for free. Lol 😂 from a shimano sponsor my local bass team.
Damn you are lucky, I love shimano reels.
send me it
Local bass team that exists?
Like you GF said, at least you are good at fishing.
Who’s this peric wanna be ????😂😂
Yo momma😂😂
The Abu Garcia is what me and my dad before he passed use to use when we use to go fishing when i was a kid such a great rod
Your trying to cast to hard just go smoother and practice on ground more it teaches you when to stop the spool with your thumb
Baizer Hey, this video is two years old he knows how to use them
I am 12 and I have $80 and is plaining to buy a cheap combo :)
Tip never reveal your age
Just get an ugly stik, $50 and you won't break it
Im 13, and im thinking about getting the vendetta with either the abu garcia smax or the pmax
Vendetta is best rod I have ever used, you won't be disappointed
Smax or pmax, even bmax are all very similar and preformed pretty well, but I really suggest lews reels a bit more. Carbon fire for 70$ is an amazing baitcaster
@@thomasmacdonough288 I looked at the reviews and atleast 4 poeple said it broke on them. I dont know man...Even the slightest of poeple against alot of people saying it is good, i dont want to take chances. I might get it. Maybe even atleast 6 people...ive looked at reviews from cabelas and amazon.
Left hand is the reel deal, if you cast right hand you should be using 151 variants.
Backlash and bird nest might stem from too much brake and high casting.
I stopped watching when he had them line his reel lol
A tip that may help, when you cast, keep your thumb lightly pressed against the spool. It'll help control the amount of line coming off your spool and help reduce birds nests.
Me,then why dont you marry it
Just bought my first bait caster I really wanted to use my bait caster but I live in Wisconsin and I have to wait for 2 months but excited to see you use yours
I appreciate the honesty of this video so much, you can't possibly understand how bad I needed this today.
At 42, and on furlough bc COVID, I've decided to take up fishing again, and it's been...rough.
he is at 300k now and he was excited for 900 ☺️ congrats on the progress
I just started baitcasting 2 weeks ago and now it feels natural
Mistakes were made (line guide), lessons were learned and fun was had. I'd say that was a pretty successful day of fishing and despite knowing there would be criticism you posted the video. I don't know why people feel the need to smack talk what someone else does but it happens. It's awesome to see younger folks doing stuff that doesn't involve a computer and you seem like a good guy, it's been almost 4 years and I'm sure you've mastered the baitcasting reel by now but don't let other peoples opinion bother you.
Thumbs up for one of the realest fishing videos I've seen in a while!
7:48 you had me cracking up man! It’s all good, next year I’ll be purchasing my first baitcaster as well so I’m sure I’ll be in the same boat!
Just to anyone using a bait caster for the first time to practice put a weight on the end of your line and cast in your yard trust me it makes everything easier also hold the rod with both hands your other hand being at the bottom of the rod to cast also turn up your reel tension and use heavier lures to start
hey a tip to prevent birds nest is to turn your reel to the side when you cast, it works well for me
Now that's its 2021 look how much his Chanel has grown sense he has posted this video
My kid got his first bait caster last week! It was a Lews combo.
i love this vid so much i had a abugarcia mlf combo and i just upgraded to the curado dc it took my a while to learn how to cast and i love that you show the birdsnests and no one ever shows footage of them messing up so mad props to you man (:
I still love watching this vid guy is a full time fishing youtuber but has no idea wat hes doing fire
Subscribed as soon as l heard ‘you got a pimple there man?’ 😂👌🏽 great video
way better than my first time keep it up, also for future preference put the line through the eye of the bait caster itself, so the line isn' t uneven when you cast
You can’t go wrong with Mickey. :-) I would love to fish it with friends and catch the most and biggest fish.
When people begin to use a baitcaster theres gonna be a learning curve the first time u go fishing don't expect to catch any fish with ur baitcaster mostly backlashes buts it's part of learning
Never saw more birdsnests in one day 😂
Paul Hana 😂 fr
Lol you should’ve seen me yesterday I relines twice because I am literal shit at baitcasting
