@KeiIeongDawg Oh and the rod on it is short
Ok so i got this penn conventional reel and when i go to cast it i get a birds nest and it wont go but 2 ft then stop?? Its clicking when i try to cast, am i doing something wrong? I dont have too much line and i have a #2 weight on it?? Please help??????
i find this hard to masturbate to.
Thank you for posting this! I just got a conventional reel and this was exactly wat i needed to know!
you are left handed ? :O
I have never used one of those yet, but since viewing this video I know what to do or have a good idea. I guess those types would be using the heavier lines on them.
get a left-hand wind multi, then your not having to change hands afetr casting, and as with fixed-spool reel (99% of sane people use)you are retrieving left-handed-
I cannot comment anymore on this ridiculous AMERICAN idea of right -hand multipliers which is the biggest con in the whole of fishing reel history
Can you like show a example like going out side and casting it
take a small bottle of water with you and spray the line with it it will reduce the thumb to line fiction!
yeah i’m new to nonlevelwinds myself..took my new avet out last night in the dark!! hooked into a 100 lb jewfish and when fighting large fish its hard to concentrate on your line..just use your thumb to act as a levelwind would, run it side to side in the same manner..criss cross your line so it won’t dig into the spool on a big fish..practice winding it on with some decent tension and make sure there are no peaks on the spool, keep it level.
that is a shimano TLD..
what reel is that
I would guess this guy has never had a bad thumb burn. Use the thumb against the side of the spool-not the line.
WrIsTsTr0nG,
Slowly, and evenly. All that matters Is that the spool spins evenly and pays out line at the same rate. IE not bunched at one end. The spool would then spin at the same speed, but pay out line at different rates. This and casting into a head wind, can create birds nests with your line.
Basically practice, load the line evenly, and beware of over runs on the spool, whilst casting.
wat u do is if u have a guided one it puts it evenly if u dont have a guided u use ur finger to guid it
hey great video but do you have a video on how to spool it like how to get the line on the reel evenly?
