I spooled it with 8 LB test mono for lighter lures, gave it some practice casts and found that it did cast well ruclips.net/user/postUgkxSlytCJqozTF7EbdP4LWP-HUXf9WRDJ0e , except that the anti-backlash setting had to be turned up almost all of the way to keep the "overcasts' ' down. I disassembled it, and found that if I potted some "shim washers" behind that anti-backlash magnet assembly, it got the magnets closer to the spool without rubbing, and I could get better control with about a 6 to 7 out out 10-Max setting. I also noticed that the handle shaft had some internal end play, maybe only 2 or 3 thousands of an inch, but it's still noticeable. If the anti-backlash and shaft tolerances were "tightened up" this would be a fantastic value. I've only used it for 4 days of fishing in a month's time, but I plan on keeping it.
B. Latt this was a very informative video. It always amazes me how 2 or 3 guys can describe how to do something & yet 1 guy will do it just a little bit different & it's easier to understand. You my friend are that different guy. Thanks you do a great job on your videos.
Learned something new today about putting backing on casting reels. AWESOME channel. Thanks Brian. Your advice works even here in sunny South Africa.
You have just explained what has eluded me for 35 years and made it sound simple. Thanks again.
A good tip I use is to run hot water in your sink and drop the new spool of line in and wait couple minutes then start filling your bait caster. It cools down on your reel and changes the memory from 6” to 1”-2”whatever your reel spool size is. Thanx for the video Brian. Fat Fins Friends✌🏻
I watched this about two or three years ago. I'm glad I found this again. This guy is real. Thanks for posting this video.
"Make sure your line doesn't go under the bar" THANK YOU!! I'm new to baitcasters and you have no idea how long I have looked to figure this out. Sometimes the simplest things experienced people take for common sense is the stuff we noobs need help with the most.
Carefully make a long cast, pull out few more yards of line then place a small piece of electric tape across your spool then reel over it to seat it tight.. no more deep backlashes.. really helps for beginners and windy days..
I think I may try that.🐟👍
Just found you. Your comments about "getting intense" struck home. I'm 71, and used to do a lot of fishing with my dad in my teens and early twenties. Then I stopped. I picked it up again about 6 months ago, and to my surprise, found myself spending an hour or more every time I went fishing, dealing with tackle (mainly line spewing out of control, wrapping around my reel, developing knots, hooking myself or clothes and otherwise making it impossible to enjoy myself, which, as a retired person, is exactly the reason I started fishing again. Now, after screwing up putting my line on my reel, and having to cut the line to get it off, I bought a Pacificsun reel machine, which spins the line as it comes off the package and into my spool. Still problems. I never even noticed these problems when I was younger. Second surpise is I can no longer see the line clearly to tie anything to the end of it. I'm working on a magnifying set up which should help with that problem. ALL I WANT TO DO IS GET TO THE DAMN LAKE, PUT MY BAIT OR SPINNER OR WHATEVER ON THE END, AND CAST , WITHOUT HAVING MY LINE COME OFF THE REEL LIKE A POORLY MADE SLINKY TOY. Even though I managed to screw up spooling a baitcaster reel, I still think that a colorful braided line might be easier to see for tying knots, and also avoiding the demon memory syndrome. At least it might curtail the moments when my wife comes into the room, takes one look at my face and what I'm muttering, and knows enough after 50 years to immediately walk away . I WANT SIMPLE. What do you suggest. I do mostly lake fishing (once my technical problems are resolved. Some stream or creek. Also, what size reel, line, weight of line. THANK YOU.
Awesome that you started fishing again. I have 2 Piscifun baitcasting reels ( Phantom and the carbon xcs). Both of them outperform my Shimano Curado 150 mgl day in and day out. Learned something today about backing on a casting reel. GREAT channel.
I have lots of line spooling gadgets these days that I love using, but in the old days I used a cardboard box. put the spool in the box, close the box with line coming out the middle. Works great. I like the suction cup that comes with the Strike King line.
Brian, you are a natural as teacher . The young anglers need to listen up cause with examples like you the sport is in good shape.
I've watched quite a few spooling videos, and this is one of the best out here IMO
Glad you coming clean about backlashing. I prefer to call them professional overruns lol
"i've had some of the most intense moments, verbally, with spinning reels..." LOL Oh yeah been there before. Great vid!
Also higher end spinning reels have started adding braid ready spools with a gripping rubber type material already attached.
So thats why my reel has the rubber middle section, You learn something new everyday.
@@justinsmith1915 The Braid Ready spinning reels have groves in the middle or rubber but even the metal with lines in it mid real is for the braid to grip..
I still use electrical tape too. Helps me sleep at night lol
Good evening Mr. Brian Latimer, I ENJOY ALL Your video's my Friend, this one in particular! LOL! 🙂I do curse when I get a back lash or a wind knot upon your first cast! WTF! LOL! You got diss down to a science, U DA MAN! You gota luv it when a plan comes together my fish'n friend. Thank you for ALL the Helpful Advise, Wisdom, and Knowledge my Fish'n Friend and as always "Keep A Tight Line and Never Stop Fish'n!" LOL!🙂God Bless you and Your Family. Sincerely, Mr. Carl J. Gwizdala aka "DESPERADO".
what I really like about your videos I can plug them into my radio in my car and it's almost like listening to a podcast because you talk so much and so I learned a lot just by driving and listening
You gained a follower my friend. Best explanations to help understand why I was struggling so hard with fluorocarbon on my first baitcaster. Hopefully I can make it work with your tips. My head was about fixing to blow off my shoulders earlier.
So finally at age 66 I learned why we put the toilet paper on over the top. Thanks guys
🤪🤪🤣🤣🤣
I know people who still do toilet paper underneath... they must backlash a LOT
I grew up spooling my baitcaster with a pencil through the spool and holding it with my toes.
I still do it lol
i put flurocarbon in a bucket with hot water start to reel and when finished tie off to your first eye , it takes out the memory so when you spool up it doesnt want to fly off your reel done this for years no problem
same HAHAHA
I still do at times !!
Is there any other way?

Thank You jake 👍🏼
Take take the label off first though and get rid of all that glue so it doesn't get on your line
This dude rocks. I want to fish with him. Reminds me of a co-worker I used to have
Once again you have given some very good advice. I actually like to change out my line. I find it relaxing. One thing I like to do with either spinning and baitcasting reel is the next time I hit the water as I'm heading out I let the line off of the reel and then once it's done I bring it back in between my fingers to keep the proper tension. Since the line is wet you won't burn your fingers or ruin the line with I thought spot.
Again great video look forward to watching more and to follow you all season.
If you put your full spool into warm water it relearns the line memory to the new spool. That also helps. I use braid to floro on all my setups !
I do the same.
I started backing all my reels with braid but I put a little bit of electrical tape on the spool first. I really don’t like fishing with braid as the main line as I just don’t really like the feel. The only reason I use the backer so I don’t have to buy as much line. I like to replace my line on the reel after each day of use if it was the main setup I used that day. If the spool holds the a lot of line I will just cut off the amount of line I thought I was using. I fish for sand/white bass mainly and I will use 4pound mono. You gotta keep that thin line in good condition so it doesn’t snap on you. The best 4pound line I found is the Trilene XL smooth casting. I’ve tried others and nothing I’ve tried comes close….Floro on the other hand is a different story. I stayed away from it for years due to $. I haven’t found one I want to keep yet so I pretty much but a different kind every time.
Love your videos...your delivery is just a couple of people talking fishing but you’re the one droppin the knowledge...thanks B.
What’s up Brian! Thanks for taking the time to show us the way you do things, these are always very helpful tips! Hope you and your family are doing well!!
I've watched several how to vids on putting line on spinning reels. They pretty much all say the same thing but you, my friend, do it much better.
I would leave my bail open and invariably I would get line wrapped around the reel handle or whatever. Thanks for setting me straight on keeping
the bail closed and backing off the drag. Your tutorials rock.
Dude you are not alone when it comes to dealing with backlash issues I had trouble with that myself..
I wrap my braid three times around the spool on my spinning reel and tie a good slip knot and tighten it down. No slipping. Pro angler Randy blocket is trying to out law braid to floro lol I have no issues, it’s braid for my spinning reels all day!
Appreciate the drag tip when pulling line through guides👍
Good info here for beginners. However I dont use tour grade mono for backing I use cheap walmart mono that costs $2 for 800 yards lol.
Same. I’m thinking about trying electrical tape next time I spool up
Random User I’ll use the 25-30lb Zebco as a leader for shark and stingray fishing here in the SF Bay, I’ve been using the same spool for well over 3 years! Best cheap line ever lmao 😂
@OmniSlays how many times are you wrapping it around the spool?
@OmniSlays Teflon tape is very slippery by nature. To me it seems like that wouldn’t adhere to your spool, where electrical tape would. I could be wrong though. I’ve never tried Teflon.
Once in a while I'll use that tape from a drugstore, it's nice and grippy.
I put my line in a shoe when I'm spooling bait casters.use the tounge of the shoe to keep it from jumping out
Never thought of that ... Fifty years lol
Got a little tip, if u put a screw about a half inch into a piece of wood, you can put the line and pu the line spool on the screw and it spins freely and stays straight
Great job of explaining everything, it comes of like “toilet paper,” I love it
Love your videos, Brother! I use spinner reels only because I am too dumb to use a baitcaster and here are a few tips that I have learned... When putting braided line on a reel, I tie a double knot and apply a small dot on the knot with super glue to secure it in place. When you have to replace the braid all you have to do is scrape off the old glue. When I am using flouro or mono, once I fill the spool I will take the spool off of the reel and soak it in hot water twice. Each time for about 15-30 minutes depending on the line diameter. Then I put the spool back on the reel and line it through the rod and take it outside and tie the end off to a solid structure and walk the line off to the end and start reeling in. Every 15-20 feet I stop and pull the line to where my rod tip bends and count to 10 . This does 2 things, #1 Tests the lines durability in various areas, #2 Helps to relive the lines "muscle memory" from production. Much love to you and your family, be safe, and keep up the videos!
u aint dumb man its just practice it took me like a week or two of straight fishing to learn how to use a baitcaster. when u get the hang of it youll be good at it
Best flouro on baitcaster video ive found. Once again very thorough in your explanations. Thanks man!👍👍🐟🐟
Sweet video BLat there are thousands of people that don’t know the proper way to spool up.
I've got a 12 year old son who just got into bass fishing with some of his friends. They are running to the neighborhood pond every other day and ive been constantly fixing birds nests and re stringing spools. That drag adjustment when threading the line through the guides is gonna save me a lot of headaches. I was fighting it cause I was opening the spool. Thanks for the great tip.
I started using braid backing with 50lb braid to fluoro and my biggest problems were backlashes and my line getting bunched up to either side of the spook because of my double uni knot connecting the two lines. It was my first time using backing on my casting reels and after seeing this video I might try it again, but for me it’s just easier to buy a 150 yd spool of a specific lb test that I want to use for the reel and use the whole thing
😭😭😭 I needed this before I wasted half a spool of 17lb invisx 🤣🤣🤣 it literally made me go back to braid
That’s like $20 bro❗️😱
@@JordanReedYT tell me about it
@@MrBigdawgstatus09
I fish 20 lbs Tatsu which is their top line, so if I ever fuck up that’s $30 wasted for just half a spool.
Seaguar is THE BEST so I don’t mind the price.
@@JordanReedYT seagar is high quality but I like P-Line better and it’s like 3x cheaper. Don’t judge me but I fish with braid on 75% of my setups. I like fluoro for cranking and finesse.
@@MrBigdawgstatus09
Based on recent studies on clarity, abrasion, cast ability, knot strength, weather resistance, & sensitivity SEAGUAR is on average 30%-40% better than other lines & IMO once you get past 6 lbs test SEAGUAR has a way more connected feel in hook-sets too.
P-Line is really good too, & people like my dad only use Vicious, so it’s up to preference.
I’ve been using a baitcaster with only 35 lbs braid for 2 years now as my main setup & I love it for the sensitivity.
No judgment there!
Best video about spooling reels I’ve watched on RUclips. Thanks Brian!
I really appreciate you sharing your depth of thought and reasonings behind why you do things the way that you do...very insightful and thought-provoking...Cheers
casts great and super strong. really good mono.
Totally agree bro. I learned this the hard way when I was fishing in the bassmaster national championship on the red river. Great vid.
Show and tell, can't be beat!! simple, simple, simple!!!
I never put any tape on my sleeping reels and it works good for me when setting the hook
On the spinning reel. Wrap the line around the spool twice. Then tie an over hand knot around the line going to the full spool of (new) line... then slip the tail of the knot and pull it tight. It won’t slip at all
I just spooled on some of that SK tour grade. I’m going to giver a go tomorrow. I have just been getting back into fishing, I’m not sure why I haven’t been going. Thanks for the videos!
In sweden braid is very expensive. I put 110 yards of berkley x9 on my reel and i got mono as backing. when i need to change the line i go out on a football field and turn it backwards. I dont know if you understand me on this but this is the way i do haha.
I get it. Good idea.
Thanks, BLat! Been a real 'adventure' doing this half a dozen other ways, this is simple, and it works. Much love!
Hey lat I have peg boards as I'm sure u do too, poke ur l8ne on a peg on your board, start spooling. Works great!
Great tip with the drag to thread your line, also like the tip of using electrical tape to stop the braid from spinning in a spinning reel.
I'm glad you went over to use mono to back your reels. Don't use copolymer, or FC. People may not know this but you can get slipping issues with Fluorocarbon just not as bad as braid. Use cheap soft mono. I just posted about this in my group on Facebook.
Love your videos and this one is no exception. TBH the fan noise in this vid is murder on the ears. Thanks for the honesty and the great info on spooling a bait caster. I've never owned a decent reel till now. Reel came with no instructions or help.
i am surprised you did not mention the important part about spooling mono is that the way the line comes off the spool needs to be the same way as it goes on the spool of the spinning reel, so if you are facing the spool on the reel you will see the bail puts the line on clockwise and so the line coming off the line spool also needs to be coming off clockwise, some brands come off clockwise facing the label others counterclockwise so you have to know if the spool on the fool or table needs to have the label facing you or not
Great video and information B-Lat 💯💯
Good stuff Brian!
admitting you make mistakes on a "back to the basics" video? youre just a regular ass dude! and thank you for showing me how to do this brian. i learned a lot from this.
Good information and vlog. Thank you. Prayers for everyone's safety during these hurricanes!
Thank you for the useful tips!! 🎣
Great info.....Thanks B-Lat!!!! 👍🏾
Thanks for the help
I agree and wait to try your tips.
I enjoyed your presentation spooling line to reel, yes sir.
When using mono an arbor knot works good for tying directly to the spool.
Spinning reels are so great! Thanks for the video, Brian.
2 sided tape works best for me too stop braid from spinning on any type of reel that i spool up. Just a small strip will work. Half way aound the spool. Sticks very well to the spool. Tie on and get her done.. God Bless from Texas..
Dude this is next level honestly. Thanks my man!
Thank you Brian for your informative videos I wish I found your channel earlier you are definitely my favorite
Awesome info man. We were just respooling a few new rods this weekend. Bray and I were just talking about this! Thanks man
Good info!!! I'm kinda liking that design of the spool for the Strike King line. Prices aren't terrible either compared to others.
I love baitcasters, and I've backlashed probably more than my fair share, but I've never backlashed a spinning reel lol.
I ordered my first Lew’s reel yesterday. I had left over fluoro i was going to use for backing. Glad i didn’t! Thanks for the help! I may have blamed the reel!
Not sure if your using a new camera but the picture quality looks great. Another great video.
GOOD LOOKING FOR THE NEEDED INFORMATION.👍🏿
Thanks Blat very informative video. Very well description!
Bro! I needed this. I was wondering why my line kept slipping. I would have my hands bleed trying tighten the line on my spool. Very very helpful dude. Thank you
Thanks for the great lesson B-Lat!
B Lat you kracken me up make just like toilet paper. I'm spooling watching you thanks for makin me laugh it's important
Sending love from up North in Penna keep up the great fishing watch you lot fellow fisherman Andrew !!!!!!!!!!!
Excellent tutorial! Great presentation
Awesome tutorial!! Greatly appreciated. 👍🏾
Nicely done.
So glad I found your channel, thanks for the help!
Great information!! Really appreciate you sharing!!
love the content! thanks for your help and energy. where can i buy one of those hats?? great lid!
On my reel I put a piece of tape on the first few cranks of the line to keep it in place
Awesome vid mate, was informative and a pleasure to watch. Cheers
Another killer video man! It’s the little steps that count🤙
Appreciate that, bro.
Whatever you’re using for a camera is awesome! The clarity and definition is unequalled. What are you using for a rod/reel combo for your spinning setup?
Brian , newbie to fishing and find your videos very informative. Question, i mainly fish small ponds and lakes from the bank. Is 75 yards a decent amount of line to put on a bait caster.
There are a few knots you can use to go tape/backing free
Your equipment is nice I love that rod and reel both of them
Great vid..100% accurate info here..and i love those rods and reels they are gorgeous brian..god bless
big fan of the Mr. Rogers style intro
Thank you for the baitcaster moment of using drag. That was a duh moment for me and me cursing myself out for many years of arguing with my baitcasters then.
I dont know if you answered it, but what about using a cheap braid as a backing on your baitcaster reel vs mono? Same question on spinning reel.
Good Stuff B-Lat...🎣🌎🇺🇸🦅 Thank’s Man,,!!!
Brian, When I'm finished spooling my reels and I'm not going fishing anytime soon.
I tie on a paperclip with a slip knot on the end of the line and clip it to the last eye on the rod.
