i got a shimano stell 20000 and a shimano fireblood. cost alot but its worth it.!!


no, cause if u do then the line wont go anywhere… And i find casting sidearm a lot easier instead of above your head (you could hook your ear that way) just bring the pole to about waist high, bring it bake and cast….it goes farther and is a lot more controllable


Yes, although not recomended, you can buy cheap rods for about 10 - 20 dollars, i suggest checking your local baitshop.


show it open air dude…


can i use a spinning reel on a baitcaster rod ? help please…


If you watched the video, and are seriously asking this question and not trying to be funny, I think that the concept of fishing is above your head.


HI zeetrance,

Im from Mauritius, i hope your fishing went well….
I am a fanatic fisherman and Im going into casting with poppers for big kingfish on the reefs.


Thanks! I’m going abroad to Mauritius and at the same I’m going to try some off shore fishing.
My actual first time I tried was fresh water on the river which was a nightmare for me, line was coming off the reel when casting, line was breaking etc.. The experience did put me off for a few months but I’m going to try again with new faith !! I’ve been trying to find if there is step by step guide DVD on fishing for beginners and I thought I would try You Tube.


The bale arm wont catch the line but your line will get on the line guide or what ever. and i suggest the glinch knot. its a great hook knot. tell me if it works out for ya.


OK! I just that feeling as soon as you let go of your finger, the line is going to come off the spool and get tangled. So I take it when you reel in, the bale arm will catch the line? The first time I tried it was a complete disaster session! What is the best hook knot to use?


no you dont flip the bale back you just reel in quick then the bale close’s its self.


At 1.00, as soon as you release your finger, do you flip the bale arm back instantly. Is that the correct way of casting? I’ve been told to cast vertically (above your head)?


thank you! very helpful!!!!
