I have been using spincast reels since I was a kid and yes, they can handle the big ones; just stay away from the very cheap ones. I own two of the older Omega pro reels and three Zebco Bullets. I had used spincast reels for so long that I found casting a spinning reel to be a bit awkward. A bait casting reel, takes a bit of practice to use, but becomes easy once you have it set up properly. Happy Fishing!!!
I personally own a spin cast, spin reel and bait cast. My opinion doesn't matter what you use or how you do it. If you are catching fish and loving life. You do you. People making fun of others for what they use and saying you aren't serious about the sport because you are using a spin cast. I've caught a lot of very impressive fish on an old zebco 202. And I've seen pros use the old zebco 33. Keep reeling them in and enjoy it!
I really enjoyed your video! Thanks for taking me along with you (and I didn't even have to peddle). Your enthusiasm and passion for fishing shine through brightly. It is refreshing. Truly. Thank you. Let me make some suggestions: 1. Read directions on the package. (It shows how to switch sides of crank, etc.). 2. Set drag before 1st cast, so line slips when pulled, then line and rod can NOT break and fish will tire out. Leave it alone while playing a fish. Set right, a submarine can't break it, if left alone. (You'll land many more fish). 3. Don't crank fish toward you. It only twists up your line, badly, when it's slipping. It doesn't bring the fish closer. 4. Use a pumping action, reeling the rod tip down toward the fish, (stop reeling), then pull the fish toward you gently without reeling. When rod tip is back up, reel it down toward the fish again. It's called "pumping", and is very effective. 5. Always keep your rod bent (90° angel from the line). This acts as a shock absorber to the fish and makes him work hard, tiring him out. Also makes it hard to throw the hook. Finesse the fish in. I'm 70 and have lived and fished very successfully in 10 states, from Alaska to California, Michigan to Florida where I live (and Canada). Keep making videos, and keep having adventures. It makes life rich and fulfilling. Embrace it.
I own all three types of reels. Spincast, spinning, and bait cast. My opinion, doesn't matter what you use or how you do it. If you are catching fish and enjoying life. Just do you. Making fun of someone for what the use for fishing, or saying you aren't serious about fishing just because you use a spincast, or aren't using a 500 dollar set up, has no effect on the fish you catch. Ive seen pro use a zebco 33 before. Ive caught a lot of impressive fish on an old zebco 202 in my life. Nevermind what other people think. You be you and keep reeling them in and enjoy it 😃
"one thing that stays the same is that nothing stays the same" wise words brother! ones things for certain that stays the same is your great uploads. thanks for the fun video!
I just ordered a ZEBCO 888. It is capable of bringing a catfish that is over 4o pounds. Buy a O'L WHISKERS CATFISH ROD and you'll be able to bring in a fish of 40 pounds or more. The Zebco 808 is also a strong and capable reel. Use it on the O'L WHISKERS rod also and you'll be able to bring in some nice heavy fish.
the Zebco Reel can be changed from right to left hand retrieve. remove the screw on cap from the left side of the reel opposite where the center of the handle enters the reel. the handle should slide out and be inserted on the left side with the retaining screw cap on the right side. I own a zebco 606 reel from the late 1960's (all metal case). Keep them clean, free of sand, and spool new line when it begins to get twisted. Use a 6ft+ Medium action rod for bass. although a 7+ft medium light fast action rod would let you throw a 1/8 of a long way on 6lb trilene line. My wife and I use Spinning and Spincast reels normally, the only drawback is the Braided line does not work well, and can cut groves in the line retrieve pin. We have caught several nice bass on them. We use mostly the more expensive zebco 33 reels, and get one or 2 new reels every year or 2. They work well with 6 - 10lb Line. I think Zebco uses CAJUN brand line.
I've got nerve damage so for me spincasters are legit. In particular I love the KastKing Brutus spincast reel. What's so good about it? It's a pretty smooth reel and it can be spooled up with braid, even. Most spincast can't, though it looks like your Omega can have braid too. It's like $35, goes on sale often, and it's a workhorse.
There is nothing wrong with using a spincast. There are a lot of pros who use them and don't say they don't because dude is on the Bass masters tour and recently did a video about this very thing. If you don't like don't use it then it's that simple. Everyone dont like birdnests aka baitcasters or spinning reels.
You can hold the button the whole time while you're casting, it's much easier than trying to push it while you're in casting motion lol. Would love to see another video of you switching the retrieve to left hand on this reel
I can fish with them, but I’m always pro-spinning reel because that’s what I’m used to. My roomie generally always uses spincast reels for freshwater fishing, especially for bigger catfish.
My girl only uses spin cast I bought her the bullet and she has loved it. It's almost the same as the omega. It's like 10 bucks more but it's twice as fast. It's twenty nine inches of retrieve a turn but I think the button just broke yesterday While we were fishing
Bro, we love your videos we love this we love first day fishing first state fishing. Sorry I spell date I spelled that wrong whatever I did it incorrectly, but V love your videos, and I hope U can make more videos like this. V hope your boot comes off and we wish you the best.❤
I loved it! I fish in terrible brush, weeds and low hanging trees! I was getting birds nest about every 3rd cats! I have been fishing an Omega pro and a zebco delta! NO MORE BIRDS NEST! I love them but if I fished clean areas would love using my bait caster
I have MULTIPLE high dollar spinning and baitcaster combos, but I had a really nice small Zebco spincast combo that I used for trout and I miss it. This video has me wanting to get a new, but nice spincast combo.
Hi Brock. i love my omega z20 on the Dobyns 7' 701 C BFS Ultra finesse rod. Just mount a spin cast reel. Great for trout Ultra light rig. d2 jigs , Zig Jigs , spinners.
I'm right handed I cast and reel right handed it feels weird reeling left... I usually just place the butt of the rod against my body when setting the hook I just turn my body... hook set every time
Both work, but yea it's way easier to hold and then release. I came to comment the same thing. Release the button like you would take your thumb off the spool on a baitcaster.
I was surprised to learn that a good amount of Surf fisherman actually prefer higher-end spin cast reels over spinning or bait casters because they cast a mile and give you more control over the line while you cast.
@@ginichimaru001 you’re delusional if you think more pros use spincast over baitcasters. Baitcasters are by far the most popular system used by people to fish.
@eh1918 "a good amount" and "more" are not the same words. Some people like the Niche of spincasters. Big deal or whatever. It has nothing to do with what’s in your hands, It’s what lies within your heart. Quit gatekeeping fishing for everyone else.
OK so you know what you do so what you do is go get any type of fishing rod right take a piece of him of tuna, the The tuna’s head and then you put on the line and then you go to the beach and you might catch flounder you might catch a dogfish, but mostly what you will catch is I think some flounder sometimes but mostly probably what you’ll catch his dog fish, so go ahead and do that when you get a chance, bro, make upload another video head
I get the inside feeling that there will be a vid 2 hours before you post it and I open RUclips right on time somehow😂! That’s what happens after being a sub for many years😂!
I am 100% one of those “why are you in Florida so much” questions on a few of the videos. I was going crazy thinking I missed some like “I’m moving to Florida” video or something 😂

What are your thoughts on push button reels??🤔🎣 I still can't believe we caught that fish 😂
Leave them for the kids and old timers 👍🏻
There ok
I think they are fine for everyone. I also caught a 5 pounder on mine!
The most expensive push button reel is the zebco bullet
I hooked a 38 to 44 inch trout it was a bull trout and it cracked two rods
You don’t have to push the button when you’re ready to cast…you hold the button until you’re ready to let line out.
Spin casts are great for putting a cast exactly where you want it, especially under docks and such.
So are baitcasters…
not really, but i do prefer spinning reels
@@mreggo8003 no.

Get a Zebco 33 and throw it on a 6'6" or 7' Medium rod and it's an extremely versatile setup

I still don’t wear crocs. If I give in that’s 20 years of hard criticism down the drain

We use pallbearing swivels to reduce line twists.

I might have to get me one of those reels.. I've been using Zebco all my life! Never tried one that fancy!
My first rod was a zebco 33 and it is still one of my favorite rods 😤
I've had good luck with ZEBCO rods & reels. I currently have a 33, 202 and 404.
The “I’m editing this rn” part is so funny. Lol good vid
I do miss seeing you in Delaware, opening of fishing and you at a creek with a gang of dudes.
Love that you posted your videos never disappoint!

That's right man !
first state back at it again 🔥
Love it ❤️
I actually perfer Spincasters over baitcasters, and spinning reels. Nice job man!
i’ve been on that pokemon go wave too, fun af
That was awesome nice Bass on the spin cast firststatefishing coming in 🔥
You can hold the button the whole time while you're casting, it's much easier than trying to push it while you're in casting motion lol. Would love to see another video of you switching the retrieve to left hand on this reel
You don’t have to hold the button down after you case
Nice bucketmouth Mike!! Congrats!!
I'm 51 all my life spincast reels have come with line.
The omegas are great reel’s and last a long time
Push the button and then let it go when you're ready to cast. Do you have anymore videos of you using this reel? I'd like to see some more.
the way you hold your rod is crazy lol
I never thought I would ever see this video😂
Your incredible keep doing what your doing. Tight lines from the UK. ❤
I can fish with them, but I’m always pro-spinning reel because that’s what I’m used to. My roomie generally always uses spincast reels for freshwater fishing, especially for bigger catfish.
Lol i mean technically baitcasting reels are push button reels 😅
I am right handed and prefer a left sided handle myself.
I hooked a 38 to 44 inch trout it was a bull trout and it cracked two rods
Fly fishing tho but I did catch huge bass with spin button thing so yeah it was like 7 pounder
My girl only uses spin cast I bought her the bullet and she has loved it. It's almost the same as the omega. It's like 10 bucks more but it's twice as fast. It's twenty nine inches of retrieve a turn but I think the button just broke yesterday While we were fishing
I know how you feel with the boot now bro, I have fallen victim to the boot aswell 😭
I still use them from time to time and I'm 51 years old not bad reels
Hello from Northern Ireland have you ever tried the Savage gear mini sandeel lure kits the might be uk thing but the smoke everything they're my go to
Never underestimate a spin casting reel.
First can I please get a shout out 😀
I see you still haven’t put a rod holder on that bike.
Can we see more catfish vids???
Hahaha Pokemon Go while fishing FTW! Glad to know I am not the only one who does that lol!
I learned how to fish on an old zebco 33
Bro, we love your videos we love this we love first day fishing first state fishing. Sorry I spell date I spelled that wrong whatever I did it incorrectly, but V love your videos, and I hope U can make more videos like this. V hope your boot comes off and we wish you the best.❤
I love disc golfing and fishing and would glady go with you anytime brother 💯💪🏽🎣💿
You should try the new Zebco Bullet they are 150$ for the combo and the reels are 100$ but they are definitely worth it!!!
Spinning reels 4 life bait casters are inferior. Let's argue😁 I use penn conflict 2 in fresh water for bass bit I'll always have time for a zebco egg
I loved it! I fish in terrible brush, weeds and low hanging trees! I was getting birds nest about every 3rd cats! I have been fishing an Omega pro and a zebco delta! NO MORE BIRDS NEST! I love them but if I fished clean areas would love using my bait caster
This Just goes to show you don't need a $500.00 combo to catch big fish..
Day 6 of asking for a gar fishing vid
I have MULTIPLE high dollar spinning and baitcaster combos, but I had a really nice small Zebco spincast combo that I used for trout and I miss it. This video has me wanting to get a new, but nice spincast combo.

Early gang
Don't care what any one says. Only thing I prefer to use.
I'm right handed I cast and reel right handed it feels weird reeling left... I usually just place the butt of the rod against my body when setting the hook I just turn my body... hook set every time
Zebco bullet mg is the best
Many experienced fishermen change out the line that comes on the reel, putting higher quality on. On a high end reel like yours, maybe not needed.
This is the only reel I use and they are awesome. I haven’t used the updated design yet. It looks bigger than the old one.
I like the rod and reel, but real men never shop at Dick's.
Fyi
*smirk😏
😮that was a big boy 🎣nice Catch
Goat. Just sat down to eat and get this fine entertainment.
I love your videos man I wish I could go out fishing but I have a torn acl at the age of 16 and it sucks so watching your fishing videos help a lot 😊
tore my acl at 16 too. had surgery feb. 6th
They suck and the video two weeks ago I saw that you were color blind and I feel you
I was taught never to take your hand off the reel handel. Good way to lose line tension and your fish
Please take the plastic off that handle😂😂
Bro there’s like a 100$ push button at bass pro shops
What’s your Pokémon freind code!!!!
Go tarpon fishing. It would be a great video.
this is a very good device my brother, in my country the price is very expensive, when are you trying to fish to my city my brother ??..
Zebco bullet ME Iis the most expensive spincast I have.
14:47 -brotha 💀
This dude really doesn’t know how to use a spincast 😝
You do know you don’t hit button as you cast? You hold it in and release it as you cast
Both work, but yea it's way easier to hold and then release. I came to comment the same thing. Release the button like you would take your thumb off the spool on a baitcaster.
If you backlash a zebco you have too much line on it.
Just a heads up Florida weather is the worst in the summer time… which is weird because summer is when it actually rains the most
how do you line a spin cast… 🤦🏻♀️
I catch very large bass on fly fishing rods
Never dissapoints
crocs will always be garbage unlike zebco
You should get a cane. Pimpin
First
What are the rod specifications??
I was surprised to learn that a good amount of Surf fisherman actually prefer higher-end spin cast reels over spinning or bait casters because they cast a mile and give you more control over the line while you cast.
“They cast a mile and give you control over your cast”. I highly doubt a spin caster has more control over a bait caster.
I thought the baitcasters were supposed to cast a mile and give good control of line?
Can't imagine there's any line control with a closed face reel.
@@eh1918Spincast is easier to maintenence which is another reason the pros dig them.
@@ginichimaru001 you’re delusional if you think more pros use spincast over baitcasters. Baitcasters are by far the most popular system used by people to fish.
@eh1918 "a good amount" and "more" are not the same words.

It has nothing to do with what’s in your hands, It’s what lies within your heart.

My grandpa used to catch everything from bluegill to muskie on a Zebco 808
Dude!! those things are totally interchangeable!!!!! couldn't watch anymore.
Vid 10 of asking to do a deep sea fishing vid
I love disc golf, next time you’re in Jacksonville I would be down to play I have plenty of extra discs and there’s some good courses here
Bruh his fish on a zebco is bigger then my pb

Come to New Mexico they pay a lot for nursing. I mean you can start hunting or fishing here. I’m from Farmington NM
I did catch huge bass with spin button thing so yeah it was like 7 pounder😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
Not particularly a fan of push buttons but I will still use them I h have to
