Spin Fishing Reel

How do you use a bait caster fishing reel?

I started fresh water fishing last year and I really do enjoy it. My wife bought me a Quatum bait caster reel and I am having trouble with casting it so the line does not tangle up. I have become very good with the standard spinning reels. But this works differently with the magnetics and the setting of the drag. point me in the right direction.

montanz,
Level-winds (bait casting reels) can be difficult at first but like anything else, practice makes perfect (know ya’ really wanted ta’ hear that). Do ya’ know what pound test is on your reel? A heavier lb., test 20 – 25# is a little more easier than say 10 or 12 # , so whatever is on the reel ya’ might want ta’ go to the heavier side. Thumb control on the spool is a big part of it because once your lure hits the water without that thumb control that’s when the old birds-nest (tangle as you put it ) happens. Also the spool brake (instructions and specs that Quantum gives should show ya’ what I’m referrin’ to), by havin’ it to loose the spool rotates faster, by tighten’ it up the slower the spool will rotate. Now that I’ve probably confused the H _ _ l outta’ ya’ I’ve listed a link that may help you out!? It’s not the best link, but am hopin’ that it’ll do a lot better job explainin’ that I did!!@x#!%!! Good luck to you and who knows ya’ just might be showin’ someone else how ta’ cast em’. …
