Whats the main problem your having with it Backlash?

i got a couple problems..either im not getting the distance im wanting or im getting crazy backlash...should i be useing heavy baits or should i just stick to my spinning reel..lol  and whats the advantage to useing a baitcaster?

I personaly don't like baitcast that much. I seem to be using an ultra light rod or a light rod with very small line and don't use anything really heavy.

From what I gather Baitcast is for Heavier rigs and line.
If your having trouble bringing in the big fish then you should be looking into a baitcast

What size line are you using with it?
Do you tighten down the break and practice with it?

Baitcaster's are all about control. Nearly plash less bait entry can be accomplished with the baitcast.

im using like a 12 or 15lb. test..im not sure but i know its pretty heave...ya im with u all i usually use is a 2 or 4 lb test on ultra light setup...i think im just gna stick with that...   ya i set the brake everytime i change up the jig or bait but it just hasnt wowed me like everyone says..thanks for ur help and thanks for puttin up a fish report

Try using spiderline. I usually go two up from my reel line weight.

if the reel says 4 lbs put 6 lbs on, should work on your baitcaster.

Good luck!

go to any isp search type in (using a bait casting reel) ther are several good vedios on bait casters the brake is the secret

I was going to suggest Youtube for some decent tutorials

Do you have a centrifual brake on your baitcast?

ya i do have the brake..ive been playin with it but just havent seen of what the big deal is about..im sure theres applications where i would need a baitcaster but havent came across it yet...wish i would have bought it new, maybe then i would have had some instructions

Just curious whats the make and Model of it?
