IT’S TIME TO SHOW YOUR DAD HOW MUCH YOU LOVE HIM WITH RIDGE🙌🏼🔥This video is sponsored by Ridge Wallet: www.ridge.com/TRF and use Code “TRF” for 10% off your order!
Would love a chart that tells you what action rod for what lures and what pound test. Like a guide for choosing the correct rod for the correct technique. Could do same thing for line size and hook size. These charts or chart could be printed and laminated and sold for 5-10 bucks to cover the cost and im sure would help tons of people. I know you've done a video for all of that already but just being able to say "I want a rod reel combo to catch trophy bass on up to 1oz Spinner bait" it would be incredible for people to just be able to look at a chart and know exactly what would be best for that.
You must not have been watching Tyler’s videos for awhile. This has been his intro to his videos now for awhile. And I agree it’s the best intro on TH-cam.
Hey what’s up Tyler!! I have been fishing for about 8 months now. Ever since I started, all I have watched were your videos to learn how to start fishing and now how to catch more fish. I just want to thank you for all the information you have provided for me and the rest of the TH-cam community. Keep up the great work and I look forward for more videos from you. Take care my friend!!
I just re rigged my reel, and man what a difference. I went for a practice cast in the back yard, 3/16 texas rig setup, and ended up throwing it so far I had to climb a fence to retrieve it right. Headed to the pond in a bit to really see if I can get out to the weed line, I think I have s shot now. Thanks man!
@@bryce8174 i feel like i get more out of baitcaster when bass fishing, but half the time ill still use a spinning reel for bass, as some fish only eat finesse lures it seems like. for everything else, i always use a spinning reel
Just started watching Tylers videos..... ive been bass fishing for 25+ years and catch well over 500+ bass a year..... i thought i knew alot.... man im hooked on these videos. I have learned several new things in each video! Best bass fishing TH-camr ive watched so far.
I know so many people who wont touch a baitcaster and say theyre junk because they either dont know how to use them or never cared to learn how to use them. I love them and use them most of the time unless im creek fishing,where a spinning setup works just fine. I sometimes use waterproof tape on mine instead of backing line,but either way works great. Good video for those beginners in baitcasters.
Tyler I have to say this, and I have to be honest about it, and I don't care if somebody thinks I'm kissing butt which I'm not. You inspire me to be a better person, you inspire me to be nicer to people, you inspire me to get after the day to the best of my abilities every day. And I soak up every piece of knowledge that you have to offer on every video that you put out. But it's not just your fishing, it's your personality! You inspire me to be a better person all the way around. I'm 34 years old, in this world today considered a grown man. And I just wanted to let you know to keep doing everything that you're doing cuz you're doing it the right way when someone leaves a comment like this!! Keep on keeping on, stay safe and tight lines always!!!! Corey-from Alabama
Man, thank you so much for your kind words! That is the exact feeling I want this channel to have, and the exact legacy I want it to leave. I hope we get to meet one day and share stories. Praise God for this!
The only reason you’d not need to continue learning and refreshing your skills and knowledge, is if you’re a professional angler. Unless your account is a burner for KVD, I guarantee you’re learning from the channel, not just being entertained
I get why people use backing but I’m a bank angler and particularly use mono but it’s here recently I’m becoming a fan of fluorocarbon knowing now it sinks and knowing that you can get your baits a little deeper without the bend that mono has. Tyler, I think you’re doing a great job at teaching us all the spooling and techniques we need to know in using our bait castors. I think you should do a vid on when a person has their bait castor for a while and knowing when to adjust their breaking or tension if they still get backlashes.
Still would love that chart that tells you what action rod for what lures and what pound test. Like a guide for choosing the correct rod for the correct technique. Could do same thing for line size and hook size. These charts or chart could be printed and laminated and sold for 5-10 bucks to cover the cost and im sure would help tons of people.
Just picked up a lews lfs and im a beginner ive. Watched alot of your vids that brought confidence in pulling the trigger on a baitcast reel still love my spinning reels but. This lews is wonderfull thanks for your vids i prob wouldn't have ever tried otherwise. Catching more fish now
I’ve never used a backing for anything but braid. Interesting. I’ll have to try it and see the difference. Thanks for the video brother. Awesome job as usual!
Yea, this video is over a year old, BUT STILL INFORMATIVE!! Great presentation, explanations and your enthusiasm is GREAT!! I own several Lew’s reels (BB1, BB1 Pro, BB1 Pro (with the P2 super pinion gear), Tournament Pro, Custom Black, Custom Pro, Super Duty, Tournament MB, Tournament MP, Custom Inshore and Speed Spool). By far, the Tournament MP, like yours in this video, was the most difficult for me to “dial-in” to find my sweet spot. As of right now, all 4 of the internal brakes are On and my dial is at 9 (10 being Max). All my other Lew’s reel dials are set to around halfway or a little less and if they have internal brakes, I have half On and half Off. If I turn the dial on my Tournament MP one click towards MIN and cast, I better be feathering the spool with my thumb or it’s gonna backlash. Not a bad backlash though, but enough that I need to pull out the slack line before I start reeling. However, this does not effect my dedication to Lew’s. I will always love and use their rods and reels. 😁👍
I have my Lew’s 6.8:1 Tournament MP paired with my Lew’s 6-9 MH MF Custom Speed Stick and use it primarily for 1/4oz - 3/4oz Crankbaits, Squarebills and Lipless CB’s. I love this setup! Lew’s will always have my support! Outstanding products and excellent customer service.
when I learned to cast a bait caster my dad taught me to use a musky rod I found the 2+ ounce lure easier to cast the one that is like 3/8 ounce jig or something
Tyler - as someone who hasn’t done much bass fishing in the past, I have found your channel to be incredibly helpful, even better than TB given I’m a fellow north TX angler. I had a question on fluoro line - how do you keep your line “clean” after a day(s) fishing dirty and/or weedy water? I noticed my line will get a dirty (brown/green) look to it after some use which makes me concerned the fluoro is losing some of its effectiveness of being nearly invisible. It also just bothers me that it takes on that dirty look lol but maybe it doesn’t matter? Appreciate any tips you have on that! Keep up the great work my friend.
Another informative video!! I’ve been doin it wrong for so long!! No wonder I can’t get my Lews bait caster to go!! I gotta re string that bad boy!! I’ll let you know how it goes!! Time to go watch your break setting video!!
I have a question i just started using a bait caster and bought the shimano curado 200 bait caster reel and when threading the line on the reel there is a silver bar that runs across and nothing anywhere that i can find indicates if you thread the line under the silver bar or over top the silver bar just after running the line through the eye guide that moves side to side.
Thanks Tyler for all the very informative videos. Even an old guy like me can learn a lot from you especially as new as I am to Bass fishing. The backing argument makes perfect sense- all my fly fishing poles have backing for the same reason. I'm curious as to why you use 17 lb line- seems very specific and I'm sure you have a good reason for using that weight.
I do ut a bit different. It’s a bit more work, but i can be more accurate with how much braid i put on there. And it saves me money at the end. With the empty spool, i put exactly the lenght of braid i want on there. As little as 50 to 100 yards depending on the application. I’ll pull the line out and measure it by strtching it in a field or something. Then after the braid is on the reel, i tie the backing on, and spool it, until the reel is full. Now the backing is in top. To get it the correct way you’d have to spool it back into a separate reel is whatever contraption you come up with Twice before putting it into your reel. So you put it on the first spool and the braid will end up on top, you put it on the second one, and the braid will end up at the bottom and ready to go into the final reel. Or if you have space(like a field) just strip the line out, fip it and respool it.
@@TylersReelFishing I do now, and after watching a few of your videos I see they aren't all like that, so I do apologize for being a rude pos. I could have said the same thing nicer... Truly enjoy your videos so far that I've watched! I found your channel from modern rogue btw, I fish, but never wanted to watch it on TH-cam until I had seen your collaboration with them. You showed them a good time and were super happy go lucky, all positive, kinda what I think we all wish we could be. Good luck fishing!
Can’t say how much I love these videos. Ordered a new baitcaster through your link an all of this is new to me so it really helps out a lot. Been spinning my whole life an wanted to try something new. Always been afraid of the backlash an with your help an knowledge hopefully it’s a smooth transition.
@@TylersReelFishing, never thought of doing that! Always calling one of my kids out to the garage to help me spool my reels. Wait till they see me doing this! 😂
I have a question about the use of mono for backing. What are the advantages of using mono vs braid as a backing besides the price? I've read from others that you should use braid for backing because it' makes the spool lighter for a quicker start up. Which In turn I would guess to be more casting distance, but if you're using fluoro as your main line which is slicker, wouldn't that help with distance too? Great tip. Thank you for sharing
I can see how the braid would have a quicker startup, but the problem with braid as backing is that after a while, the pressure from the fluoro on top can cause the braid to form into grooves, which will work their way up the spool and EVENTUALLY, your line won’t spool back on flat during your retrieve
I didn’t catch what type of line you put on ie 15 lb flouro…. On a separate note, I was just gifted a shimano Corado 200 reel from a client who ‘gave up’ to my benefit. She had it spooled up at bass pro and it seems to have a medium to light gage of flouro on it. She told them She was fishing for MI trout. Upon first use of the reel I am wondering if I should respool it as it seems the flouro may have some stretch memory from previous bad back lashes. Wondering your thoughts and recommendations on what to re spool with for bass
I’ve hear of as when your spooling it to put your line into warm water so the line loses its memory and forms memory into your spool. Is this accurate?
Thanks for pointing me to your video Tyler. I am using relatively inexpensive mono so I am using it to fully spool, without backing. But I do now understand that I should fill it up which was my original question. Now, for a spinning reel, the direction of the reel is sideways so the "two toes" trick doesn't work. I have read to place it on the floor, with the label side down on the floor, and yes keep it tight against the rod to spool. Any good tips for spooling a spinning rod to avoid twists?
@@TylersReelFishing the cost difference is significant but I am leaning towards it. I even practiced doing the FG knot on mono just to learn it eventually for a leader line. I did watch your video on it and will follow your advice if I go that route. It’s just a tough pill to swallow starting up and doing the initial investment. Now of course it doesn’t help I have to prep two rods. It’s about $80 just in braid and fluoro. My third cheap rod will remain with mono I am using that with a bobber anyways.
@@TylersReelFishing I ended up getting myself some braid. But I don't know if I got the 'correct' braid. I got Berkley Fireline 20lb but it's a bit sticky and it seems like it's decreasing my casting distance. Problem is it's expensive and of course I bought a 300 yard spool which is enough for the two reels I wanted to fill with braid. I didn't go the mono backing route, but with this amount of braid I can make it last a very long time if I eventually put mono backing on it. I read that Sufix braid is smoother and casts better but I will still give this Berkley a chance. To be honest I only tried it once on a single reel for about an hour or so. I am using fluoro leader and I followed your advice to make it as long as basically the length of the rod before the knot enters the spool. Still a lot to learn and I am also following your advice on tackle I will go on a trip next year to the store to prep for my fishing season and stock up. Thanks for all your helpful videos and I am enjoying the 'pond' series so far. Man I HAD to pick up this new hobby right at the end of the season.
Question: Why is it necessary to use backing in the first place? Wouldn’t it be easier to just fill the entire spool with the line your going to be using?
@@TylersReelFishing Well, I understand people doing it to save some money. After all, money doesn’t grow on trees. But if saving that extra 10 bucks or so worth of line is not that big of an issue, then I honestly don’t see any other reason for using it. But then again, I am no expert. I do like to fish though…That’s why I was interested.
I’ve been casually fishing for years I’ve used spinning reels and button release. I’ve never used a bait caster. I don’t know much about bait or fish for that matter. Everyone I’ve seen have talked about bass with the bait caster. Is it made specifically for bass. Can you use it for cat, bluegill, etc. someone please fill me in
@@TylersReelFishing thanks! I ordered a Lews Mach 2 7’3 med heavy and some of that camp braid. I’m switching to a right hand retrieve to see if I get better action and retrieval, left hand retrieve feels awkward to me even tho I’m right handed. Anyway thanks for the advice!
Hey Tyler, when using 6lb mono line as your backing with a bigger heavier duty line for ex 15lb braid as your main, wouldn’t that not allow you to use more than 6lb of drag without breaking the line?
The backing on bass fishing reels is only used to fill space, so that your expensive main line isn’t wasted down the spool. I’m never ever casting, or letting a fish take enough drag to get down to the 6lb backing. If I ever cast out past the connection knot, I didn’t put enough main line on there, or too much backing
After a while, it kind of becomes second nature. Feeling the thickness of the line and knowing how much backing. For 30 pound braid, I would fill up the spool with 6 pound mono, to about 50% capacity
I just don’t see why you’d ever want colored line when clear exists😂😂 Braid can be lots of colors, and fish don’t seem to care. But for fluoro, just use clear haha

Yes re-spool for sure. And it all depends on what/where you’re fishing. Watch my latest line video for more help!
Hey Tyler, I know you said to tighten your drag when spooling a baitcasting reel. Do you make any adjustments to the spool tension, knob or brakes?
No I don’t
@@TylersReelFishing appreciate it brother!
Noti gang
I’ve hear of as when your spooling it to put your line into warm water so the line loses its memory and forms memory into your spool. Is this accurate?
I mean, that potentially could work, but it could also weaken your line. I would just spool it on the correct way and stretch it every once in a while
So when starting you go around the spool you don’t go through any holes? Sorry might be a dumb question
I spooled up my first baitcaster just yesterday! missed this video by 24hrs :)
I too have to go unspool and add backfill now, I don't know how I missed this from other videos!
Is there a reason why you wouldn’t put the backing through the holes of the spool and then tie the knot instead of around the spool?
Do you use 6lb mono backing for all respooling for fluro/braid regardless of the fluro/braid wieght?
Yep
Thanks so much this really helped me!!
I’m so glad!
Thumbs up for Boy Scouts!
Thanks
Question: What do I do if I don't have toes? Kidding. Another great video. Thx

I have read to place it on the floor, with the label side down on the floor, and yes keep it tight against the rod to spool. Any good tips for spooling a spinning rod to avoid twists?
Use braid as your main line on a spinning reel. No twists ever. th-cam.com/video/UrKKI4TV_JM/w-d-xo.html
@@TylersReelFishing the cost difference is significant but I am leaning towards it. I even practiced doing the FG knot on mono just to learn it eventually for a leader line. I did watch your video on it and will follow your advice if I go that route. It’s just a tough pill to swallow starting up and doing the initial investment. Now of course it doesn’t help I have to prep two rods. It’s about $80 just in braid and fluoro. My third cheap rod will remain with mono I am using that with a bobber anyways.
@@TylersReelFishing I ended up getting myself some braid. But I don't know if I got the 'correct' braid. I got Berkley Fireline 20lb but it's a bit sticky and it seems like it's decreasing my casting distance. Problem is it's expensive and of course I bought a 300 yard spool which is enough for the two reels I wanted to fill with braid. I didn't go the mono backing route, but with this amount of braid I can make it last a very long time if I eventually put mono backing on it. I read that Sufix braid is smoother and casts better but I will still give this Berkley a chance. To be honest I only tried it once on a single reel for about an hour or so. I am using fluoro leader and I followed your advice to make it as long as basically the length of the rod before the knot enters the spool. Still a lot to learn and I am also following your advice on tackle I will go on a trip next year to the store to prep for my fishing season and stock up. Thanks for all your helpful videos and I am enjoying the 'pond' series so far. Man I HAD to pick up this new hobby right at the end of the season.
Tyler is that a new rod I gave not seen it from lews yet
Watched man vids on same topic.
As usual, yours hits all the important finer points
And, the general concept.
Plus, a clever idea or two
That’s my goal!
You have to have line on a baitcaster to catch fish. 😂😂😂😂 deep Tyler!
How many ft should i make my leader line?
Question: Why is it necessary to use backing in the first place? Wouldn’t it be easier to just fill the entire spool with the line your going to be using?
The bottom half of the spool never gets used cause you can’t even cast that far, so why waste that line as filler with expensive fluorocarbon?
@@TylersReelFishing
Well, I understand people doing it to save some money. After all, money doesn’t grow on trees. But if saving that extra 10 bucks or so worth of line is not that big of an issue, then I honestly don’t see any other reason for using it. But then again, I am no expert. I do like to fish though…That’s why I was interested.
Thanks bro now I have a bait caster
Heck yeah!
I’ve been casually fishing for years I’ve used spinning reels and button release. I’ve never used a bait caster. I don’t know much about bait or fish for that matter. Everyone I’ve seen have talked about bass with the bait caster. Is it made specifically for bass. Can you use it for cat, bluegill, etc. someone please fill me in
Search “TylersReelFishing baitcaster vs spinning”. Got a good video explaining it
Great job always
This guy had too much coffee this morning
I would like to see some off shore techniques and how to find structure with 2d sonar
Question Tyler. What size backing do you use for 50lb braid?
6lb
@@TylersReelFishing thanks! I ordered a Lews Mach 2 7’3 med heavy and some of that camp braid. I’m switching to a right hand retrieve to see if I get better action and retrieval, left hand retrieve feels awkward to me even tho I’m right handed. Anyway thanks for the advice!
What’s the reason for tying a knot on the spool for the backer? I just put my line through the center hole and start reeling
No potential slippage that way
@@TylersReelFishing would I be able to tie down with a clinch knot?
Probbaly
Are you going to do the bible study the weekend of the classic ?
Yes! All the info for it can be found on my Instagram!

By any chance will that be recorded

Hey Tyler, when using 6lb mono line as your backing with a bigger heavier duty line for ex 15lb braid as your main, wouldn’t that not allow you to use more than 6lb of drag without breaking the line?
The backing on bass fishing reels is only used to fill space, so that your expensive main line isn’t wasted down the spool. I’m never ever casting, or letting a fish take enough drag to get down to the 6lb backing. If I ever cast out past the connection knot, I didn’t put enough main line on there, or too much backing
@@TylersReelFishing thanks!
Need help understanding the backing ratio. I’m using 30 lb braid that is equivalent to 8 lb mono. So trying to figure out how much backing to use
After a while, it kind of becomes second nature. Feeling the thickness of the line and knowing how much backing.
For 30 pound braid, I would fill up the spool with 6 pound mono, to about 50% capacity
You are talented and so are your toes.
Why thank you
Who else loves the intro
Great video!! Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
I just wanted to line my bait caster and go more complicated stuff I don’t need to know.
Doing it quick is doing it wrong. I teach every aspect here on this channel
Love it
Do you have one for setting up braid
Exactly the same!
Are there differences in green colored line vs clear in terms of what is visibile to the fish?
I just don’t see why you’d ever want colored line when clear exists😂😂 Braid can be lots of colors, and fish don’t seem to care. But for fluoro, just use clear haha
@@TylersReelFishing nightfishing is why I have hi vis line
,great info thanks
Would you say braid is easier to start out with for Beginners?
No. 15lb cheap mono to get the hang of it, then 15lb fluoro
@@TylersReelFishing Thanks!
Tyler how much backing of 6lb mono for 30lb braid?
I’d say just over half
How many times have u been sponsored by ridge?
Many
Great video. What rod are you using in this video?
It’s an unreleased Lew’s rod
Sneaky Tyler very sneaky lol
Nice
Glad i watched this video after wasting a whole spool of power pro 🙃

You can get two of em for that price
I did this toe holding thing in the living room and my wife now thinks I’m insane.
You get used to it haha
Lake mead has GIANTS BASS Tyler try coming down to Nevada
Can you do a shakey head video I cannot seem to catch a fish on one
I will!
I don’t tie a knot at the biginig of the spoll or put backing on at all
Well you should
Not all about one fish with the baitcaster
Baitcasting reel "masterclass"... "you can't catch fish on a reel without line" - thanks master lol.

You only need backing for braided line 🤦🏻♂️
