The SECRET to Smooth Casts with Braided Line!

- Опубликовано: 27 май 2024
- Pitching, flipping and punching with braided line is a standard technique for catching bass in the summer. But backlashes, line coils, and wind knots can be frustrating during these outings. There are some routine causes for this but many anglers don’t know the first step in preventing them. We’ll talk about how to eliminate these in today’s episode.

Thanks Mark, I just recently spooled a couple of my reels with 30# PowerPro Slick for a Carolina rig, and for frogging. I live in Raleigh NC and none of the lakes ( within 50 miles ) have mats, grass,or lily pads. I did fish the Chowan River for 2 club tournaments a couple of weeks ago, which has lily pads and grasses, but we had heavy rains and winds and tough conditions. I appreciate your channel and learning more about braided lines on baitcasters 😜👍😎
Thanks for tuning in and commenting!
Funny I should find this video on the same evening I think I discovered something about using braided line. I would like your thoughts on what I toss out here. I use 65lb test (17 mono equiv.) so I am told, on all my bait casting reels. I tried 20 but the chart said it was equivalent to 6lb. Sewing thread as I call it. Here is what I have learned in just the past few days. I have started catching real fish, not the nippy pecking little toddler bass that play with the tail of the worm and run off. I have set the hook on 2 fish that were 6 and 4 pounds, and several that were in the pound and a half range. Here is what I notice after the catch. When I cast again, I notice a catch in my spooled line down in the spool. I've heard you don't want to set your drag by pulling against the line as it cuts into the spool and gets buried under the line above. Setting the hook on a good size fish, especially the whip crack method I use, and then landing it, puts a tremendous pull against the line and subsequently the spooled line being reeled in. I've noticed after a couple of casts, the spool of line appears to be matting up down inside the spool. No idea how to easily solve this, but I do recommend when you get home, hook a bait to your car or propane tank and walk off through the yard and wind that spool out. I know this sacrifices the tight spool you had when you first put the line on, but if you hold your rod up like you are landing a fish, and tighten your drag down, you can emulate the tight spool you get when you are using the towel and your fingers.
I agree with your thoughts. You can do this during your fishing day as well.
Make a long cast, pinch the line with your fingers up the rod(like I did in the video) and reel up the line.

Hey Mark, first time tuning into your channel! What are your thoughts on putting braid on a spinning reel? I'm not overly thrilled, always trying the braid to leader knot. I do have a baitcaster spooled up with 30 # braid. Appreciate your thoughts.
I’m a huge believer in braid to fluoro! Check out this video.

I am also mentioning this topic in an upcoming episode.
As Megan says; stay channeled!
Nice tip!
Glad you liked it!
Hey Mark do you happen to know what fluorocarbon line poundage is equivalent to Power Pro 65lb braid?
65lb power pro braid is .016 in diameter which is the equivalent diameter to 20lb fluorocarbon.
This works for me until I catch a few fish. Salt water fish can really fight. This causes the line to bind with other line on the spool. I need to release a lot of line then re-spool when this happens or I will have a birds nest.
You’re exactly right. As I mentioned, it is very effective when I’m pitching, flipping and punching as those are repeated short casts throughout the day.
You always spool all kind of line with tension oO never learned it differently nor have I ever heard it differently it has always been said that it is the most important thing when spooling up any line that is tight and do it with tension oO rly new over there for you oO?
I agree. The point I was trying to make in the video was that with braid I actually use more tension than with flouro or mono
After the first cast, everything you did while spooling your reel is irrelevant.
Wrong.
@@darrellgrant7615 explain
That’s not true. Especially in the situations I was describing like pitching and flipping and punching. The tight line under the line that is being used over and over in the repeated casts is forming a solid base so when you hook into a fish(or a snag) it doesn’t dig into the base which is what causes the unsmooth casts and back lashes.
@@markfisheroutdoors Thanks for explaining it in a way that I can understand. I hereby retract my previous comment and I see no reason not to use your method. Thanks for laying it out for me.
No problem man
