Baitcasting reels

[Kayote]

You can use it for most of your fishing if you so choose. I rarely use spinning rods any more, except for very light applications like drop shotting. The key to using a baitcast reel is practice, practice, practice. I prefer to purchase left hand baitcasters, because then the change over from spinning gear is not so dramatic. With the left hand model, you hold the rod and reel the same as right handed spinning gear. People that try using low quality baitcasters usually get frustrated and go back to spinning gear. Read your manual carefully about setting the tension spool and the use of any internal and external brakes. With your tension knob adjustment, put your lure on the line, then loosen the knob to where the lure slowly falls. If you are rat nesting too much, tighten the knob 1/4 turn at a time till you stop tangling. I would suggest practicing in your backyard. Hope this helps.

Good Fishing, Kayote
