After going through this information for Casting Reel you will also be better informed about everything in some way related to Casting Reel.
What adjustments do I have to make to a bait caster reel before casting?
I'm really fushtrated Casting Reel with my first bait caster. Twice I backlashed so bad I had to take a knife to the line and take off yards! I quess you can't just take it out of the box and use it like a spinning reel.

A proper demo reel is of former professional work that you have done. If the recording quality of the plays you’ve done is high enough you can edit those together for a reel of no more than 2 and a half minutes. Essentially a demo reel is not unlike the movie trailers you see in the theater. Do not record yourself in front of a wall doing monologues.

How about the brand and model to see what you have got there. Can you press the area where the thumb goes?How about a lever you pull down like a Penn?Need more details.

i would need to know what kind of real for a specific reason, but these are a couple common mistakes. first, your drag might be set too loose. this makes the spool more loose and leads to putting out too much line to quickly. i can’t tell you where to find it or which way to turn it, but anyone who sees it should know. the second is that you aren’t keeping your thumb on the spool while the bait is in the air. if you let your thumb off of the spool again the line comes out too quickly and if its still off the spool when the bait hits the water the line will just keep going out with its built up momentum. rest your thumb on the spool and with just enough pressure to feel like you have control of the line. the last would be that your bait is too light. the initial force of the cast gets the bait going and the spool unwinding and if there isn’t enough weight on the line then again the momentum mill cause more line than is needed to come out and you get a backlash.

There are many good reels in that price range. And you will probably get many different good answer’s. Here’s my pick:Number 1- For years I would only use 2 different company’s for freshwater Spinning reels- Shimano & Daiwa. I wanted the “best” and Shimano & Daiwa always delivered. BUT, in the last 2-3 years I’ve had tremendous luck with the newly designed Pflueger line of Spinning reels. Currently, they have a great line of spinning reels with the “Supreme” as their flagship model. I own the Supreme and find it to be as good, (if not BETTER), than anything Daiwa or Shimano has made in that price range. In my opinion, the Supreme is as good as any Shimano Stradic (http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_96667____SearchResults ) or Daiwa Sol (http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_74466____SearchResults ). Here are some links so you can view the Supreme and READ the REVIEWS:Pflueger Supreme- http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_94739____SearchResultsYou would want the 8025 size for Trout. 47 people give this reel a 4.8 out of 5. You can purchase a more expensive reel like a Shimano Stradic, Daiwa Sol, Daiwa Steez, Shimano Stella, Etc- but your best “bang for your buck” reel IS the Supreme. That’s my 2 cent’s. Hope it helps ya? Good luck in your search.

Looks like you prefer level wind reels. Please keep in mind that level winds will limit your casting distance if heavier test mono lines were used. Level winds got more moving parts that could trap saltwater and sand. Normally, those extra moving parts won’t bother you much. However, if you got a huge, strong fighting fish on the other end of the line and the reel was under high stress, those extra parts will become a handicap. The reels you mentioned aren’t exactly light weight reels anyway. If I were you, I’d spend about the same amount of money and go straight for smaller conventional reels which will handle small/medium tunas with relative ease. I’d prefer reels like Daiwa SL20SH or Penn 525 Mag. Both reels are very easy to cast and could cover long distances much easier than level winds. They could handle heavier lures/sinkers without any hiccups while still being able to fly line live baits. You’ll get a lot more reel for about the same money.If you insist on level winds, I’d avoid Abu Garcia reels because their drags simply aren’t as strong as Shimano Tekota’s or Daiwa Sealines. I’m not saying Abu Garcia aren’t good reels. They’re just not in the same caliber range as Shimano Tekotas or Daiwa Sealines that’s all. Tekota got a little edge over Sealine level winds. Tekota will fly line live bait fish or cast light weight objects easier and further than Sealines. Tekotas work a little smoother than Sealines too. Their drag strengths are about the same with Tekota being a bit smoother. I’ll let you decide if those minor differences are worth the difference in price or not. By the way, I’d pamper Shimanos. I’m not pampering them because of their price. I’m pampering them because they will look absolutely scary after they got enough scratches on them.As for corrosion resistance, all reels mentioned above did a pretty good job. If you rinse your reel off after each use, they’ll all last a very long time. Less time was required to clean Daiwa Sealines though. If you don’t like cleaning fishing reels after each use, I’d recommend that you consider Newell reels. You only need to toss the whole reel into a bucket full of freshwater, let the reel soak for about an hour and you’re done.

this one http://www.baitnhook.net/daiwafirewolffw40hconventionalreel.aspxthis is the freshwater version of daiwa sealine sl27 without the levelwind. the specs are the same but the parts are not as corrosion resistant. you could use this reel in saltwater with extra care. excellent buy!

the strikeforce is a good choice for a lower end inexpensive rod, however, there are much better choices for not much more than that. i recommend the berkley amp rods. they’re extremely light, but still strong, and have a price tag of about $30. i have one myself, and it outperforms all of my other rods, even the more expensive ones.http://www.dickssportinggoods.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3997809

NO. nope. nyet. nein.vaseline has no lubricating properties and it will collect crud like a magnet. use a lube made for reels. many available lots of places. even walmart.this question has come up multiple times and the consensus has always been negative on vaseline as a reel lube.

here is what I answered last time, your question is legit, in fact one can occasionally see this on TV in a movie. I’vee often wondered, isn’t there at least one guy on the set who could point out that the rod is set up wrong? anyways cat- The correct answer is NOThe correct reason has to do with what some of the posters have already mentioned, and that is typically, with a spinning rod there isn’t as many guides and they are the wrong size.I will go further and explain how and why that affects the rod.first the SIZE of the guides on a spinner are large because of the way the line comes off a spinning reelLess guides are needed because the guides are pointing DOWN. you could get away with one guide and a tip if you had to.The reason for many more guides on a conventional reel is that they are needed to prevent the line from rubbing on the rod while under load, because this type of rod is fished with the guides facing UPSo…if you fish a baitcaster with a spinning rod, you are for all practical purposes, fishing with your rod up-side downPeople will point and laugh, which is not what I want them to do, I want them to say “hey, that guy is set up right and is catching fish, he must have been reading yahoo answers and was given correct information”Seriously, even if you have a passing interest in fishing, don’t do it, if for nothing else, because I have seen people loose nice fish for this exact reason, and I’m sure you don’t want to do thatedit: just to be clear caterpillerinc, threshers point is well taken, it is correct to spine a rod before wrapping it, and its true that spinners are opposite of conventional wraps…but what is not true is that the ‘backbone’ is different, most any rod can be wrapped for either conventional or spinner. It’s just plain wrong to use the wrong reel. Period. Use a spinner on a conventional rod and you will knock the eyelets clean off the guides. People have brought countless rods into my shop for repair for this exact reason. I’ve watched someone do it right in front of me once, and I didn’t snicker, he was done fishing for the evening. He had gotten away with it before, not this time.fishing a conventional on a spinning rod may not break your Equipment, but there simply isn’t enough guides to keep your line from rubbing on the rod. Its just bad advice, and its a shame its coming from a trusted top contributor, anything worth doing is worth doing right.

The Ambassador series of reels from Abu Garcia are not made for little baits and small lines, they are made for 1/4 oz, 1/2 oz, 1 ounce, you know typical bass baits.How about rod length? For a larger reel, 5’6 & 6′ rods will be too small. They will not balance your combo out equally and will feel awkward. That’s why 6’6, 7′, or even 7’6 would be the best depending on fishing situations. I like 7′.Rod action? Rod action is very important. Medium-heavy would be perfect. Medium action might be too limber and not handle those 1 ounce spinnerbaits with thumping Colorado’s on them.How about line? No less than 12 lb. mono. I like mono for baitcasters, and Stren is my favorite brand. For me, i would feel the reel with either 14 or 17 lb. Stren Original in clear.That’s just personal preferences. Happy fishing.

get a good quality combo put together by bass pro shop or cabela’s.their own name brands are built by major manufacturers.as far as l know, shimano’s higher grade rods are the only ones with a lifetime warranty.

If your gonna spend that much on a reel also look at the Abu Garcia Revo and The Shimano Chronarch. You could almost purchase 2 Chronarch’s or Curado’s for the price of 1 Steeze. A serious B-Tourney friend of mine told me the $300 Revo’s are the finest reel he’s ever fished, (surpassing even more expensive Daiwa’s & Shimano’s). Something to think about! If you decide to get it, Congrats! Steeze are GREAT reels!(I’m jealous! LOL)

The C5 would be my choice, it has more bearings that keep the spool and drive gear in proper alignment. This will allow for longer more consistent cast and hold up better over the life of the reel. With proper yearly service this reel will last a lifetime.The C4 is also very solid. The CB uses bushing instead of bearings and are not as smooth.If you don’t need that much line the 5600 holds a good bit of line but is narrower and lighter making it more comfortable for a day of fishing.These reels hold up well in saltwater also.My 2 cents. Good luck.

Generally, any reel you find for 100 bucks and up is going to be a very good reel. Without knowing what you fish for and what not, it’s a little hard to reccomend a specific reel.As I always suggest on here to people, check out Abu Garcia and Quantum reels. These are both very reputable companies that make excellent quality products. I’ve always had great luck with Abu Garcia. They’re top of the line reel at the moment is the Revo. There’s a few different Revo series, all are very nice. As for Quantum, I don’t currently have any of their reels but I have used them a lot in the past. Again, I’ve been very happy with them. They have a few Kevin Van Dam series reels, which I believe is their best quality reel at the moment. I bought my Dad one of these a while back and had to use it a bit before hand lol. It was one of the smothest reels that I have ever used, possibly even smoother than the Revos. Regardless, you’ll be very happy if you choose one of these reels.Edit: I’ll also add that you don’t have to spend 100+ bucks for a decent reel. You can do a bit of research and look around and find pretty solid reels for 70 or so dollars, maybe even cheaper if you happen to find one on sale. For the best baitcasting reels, you will be looking at 100+ dollars.
