Reel Garcia
Any tips on using a baitcast reel?
I just got my first one, I tested it out on a pond by my house and it didn’t go very well, lots of backlashes, pretty frustrating. I guess that’s why they say you have to practice at the end I was getting better but I had no accuracy and not a whole lot of distance. Anyone out there have any good tips or advice for a beginner like me? My reel is an ABU GARCIA 2005l low profile baitcast. I think I’ll grow to love the reel once I can master it so any advice would be awesome.
man, this reminds me of when I first learned.. it sure is a pain when every other cast you have to spend 10 minutes untangling your line.
here’s what i did..
-strip off line until you have about the length of your longest cast
-take a length of electrician’s tape the width of your spool and stick it over the remaining line on the spool
-reel the line you stripped off back in
now when you cast, you wont have to worry about backlashes so much.
also.. with the spool tightening knob, have it tightened so that when the spool is free the lure will slowly pull the line off as it falls.
and always remember to keep your thumb on the spool!
