How to Use a Spinning Reel CORRECTLY

Thanks everyone for your patience (hopefully haha). I'm finally back and active after recovering the information for this account after many years of detective work. Look forward to more wart free... you guys know what I'm talking about... videos. I'm ecstatic to start sharing my true passion again. Tight lines and stay tuned.

I don't fish very often. I tried using a baitcaster a few years back and never really got good at it. I always got it tangled up. It was too much of a hassle.

My friend wants to start fishing and wants me to do some fishing with him. I'll probably get a Zebco33 but would like to try a spinner reel too.

Why does he repeat himself so much? Its not like rocket science...

Thank you

People don't talk much about the tension on the drag. Is there any kind of optimal tension to use or not?

You talk too damn much.

Appreciate it. 👍🏽

Thanks for the video bro!

great video

This video was “reel” helpful 😅 but honestly it was I’m going fishing with my sons this weekend and had no idea how to use this

Thanks for the video. Glad you are back on.

Been using regular reels all my life. Thanks, now I want to get one.

Great explanation 💯

A problem I’m running into is when I cast out and let’s say I get a fish and begin reeling in, the line gets caught on the metal part of the reel below where it’s supposed to because the reel is bobbing up and down. This is creating tangles, loops, and many naughts. Does anyone know how to prevent this please?

Thx bro

What area in stone mtn is this?

Thanks dude just put together a blowfish gun and bought a spinning reel for it and looked this up good tips and straight to the point.

Thanks for guiding me

Thank you for the nice video brother.... appreciations from India.

Wrong. You should be trapping the line against the spool with your middle finger. Not trapping the line against the handle. You can then use the same finger to brake the line before the lure hits the water. Eliminating any bow in the line.
That is how to cast correctly.

Good video

Hi, both myself and one other have used 3 reels each similar to yours, as beginners. Each reel is set up the same as yours but why is it that both of us end up unable to reel in? The line also gets all looped and twisted. We do manually put the metal clip over the line to reel it in, but neither of us knows what we are doing wrong. 4 fishing trips later with new reels again, it's the same all over again. Also, what is that little rectangle eyelet to be used for, on the rod itself. I used that as the first eyelet but you don't seem to use it? Thanks.

New to the fishing world. I'm 43 years old and just got spinning reel rod combo for my birthday. Awesome Video. Keep up the good work 🎣🎣

If you see a dead body floating, don't eat the fish. LOL. Criminals do that type of shit.

Great info- just what I was looking for thx.

What's your fishing rod? Brand and price please?

Recently purchased a spinning reel in an effort to get back into fishing with my sons. This video really helped me figure out what I was doing wrong. Thanks for making it!

You are God of Money

Thank you sir!

I feel dumb ive been holding it wrong my whole life

You are incorrect. The handle should be located on the right side for right handed fisherman. Bait cast, offshore reels all have the crank on the right. Try it... it is much better for control and cranking precision.

thank you

Really love it Alex you so Humbel let me know about floating in fishing

This is the kinda reel i learned on, funny thing is im right handed but my dad is a lefty. Didnt realize ive been technically fishing as a lefty all this time cuz thats how i was taught

Always used spinning reels as a kid but never learned how to deal with tangling and stuff. Doesn't help in left-handed and haven't fished in 10+ years lol

Cannot keep my line from coming loose and ending up under the back of the reel when I cast and start to reel in. . Could somebody please offer what I am doing wrong. Thank you

I'm watching this 20 minutes before going fishing with my boss😅😅😅😅😅

Hey dude, you have said too much-- thanks -rookie here🙃

Two years old but still good info. I will tell my new fishing buddy to watch this. I fish a local city pond here on occasion. Usually if I don't have long to fish I go there because easy and quick access. I have been running into a young man the last few weeks. He was fascinated by my spinning reels. He had never seen one before in person undoubtedly. I asked him about what he used and he said "baitcaster" I said ah you mean spincaster. He very much said "no I mean the open face reel". Sure enough the next week I saw him again and he was using a baitcaster. He wanted to try a spinner but said he was worried he wouldn't be able to can't with it. I said well surely if you can master a baitcaster you can certainly use a spinner. I was wrong. I watched and tried to teach him for an hour. He absolutely couldn't cast it. Even super bird nested it twice. I can't understand at all how he can be a wizard with a baitcaster and completely fail at a spinner. Had a old timer even come over and try to help him. He couldn't be helped. It's just baffling to me that anyone would have trouble with a spinning reel and ace a baitcaster. I guess I take for granted growing up using both.

Notch on reel for setting depth. It’s not there for looks.

Reely? I had no ideas before!

Thank you very much waiting to use it it has been 3 years when I order it

Nice and clear bro...
