Just got my very first baitcaster for my birthday. I've watched this video several times over the past few months and I am now ready to head down the basement to spool my new Lew's Tournament MB. I'll be practicing pitching in the backyard all day today. Thanks man.
Gene, you had me going with that knot connecting the two lines. Then you hit the FG point. I thought I was gonna fall out of my chair. Thanks for the 411 on using the braid on a different spool. I wouldn't have thought of that. I'll keep watching, you keep fishing!
Awesome man! I have been fishing forever and when I seen the title I was like...i know how to do this, but I never thought about the braid spinning on the spool. Awesome and thanks again
I appreciate this video, got a 13 reel yesterday and didn’t know the braid would slip until I watched this. Thanks podna!
Tie the line through the spool. That’s why the holes are there on most newer baitcasters to prevent the spinning effect you get when pulling larger fish in.
reminds of the first time I tried braid. I spooled it on a spinning reel and I just tied it off like I always had with mono. Yeh that didnt work too well! Great tip Gene!
Gene I love your videos since I have recently gotten back into fishing I have learned alot from you & your videos & if you ever come to Minneapolis I would certainly love to fish with you.. stay safe, God bless & keep doing all that you doing..
Great Video Gene, You have taught me so much with your videos. Keep up the good work!
@flukemaster Your videos are the most informative instructional videos I have found and have helped tremendously....i came here after watching another video that talked about backing and this particular knot and i did have to pay close attention to know which line to fold and which to wrap...you should probably mention if it makes a difference which way you do it for us noobs
ive been using kastking braid for over a year and I really like it. I see the one your using now is their new stuff. id appreciate it if you could make a video reviewing the line once youve had some time with it.
thanks gene!
Hey Gene.
I fully agree that it is much better hold in the spool with mono backing than with electrical tape.
And above all, it becomes much cheaper to use mono backing and about 150yrds braid per reel.
I also turn my braid after each season ellen when it gets very worn.
tight lines, Ronny
great timing for this video...getting a new baitcaster this week...planned on just using braid but now I'll spool with mono also...great info...
+George Mahon Thanks
Thanks Gene. doing this right now on my new cranking set up.
This video was honestly a huge help
Perfect timing, just bought braid yesterday and wasn't quite sure how to spool it, thanks for the great tutorial
Thanks for the video, just bought my first bait caster, Kastking Stealth. No instructions with these reels, so your video on how to load it with line was extremely helpful. Thanks again! Any help or links on how to use set up this reel would be appreciated.
I put the braid through the holes drilled in the spool on the Garcia pro max and mgxtreme. That seems to prevent slipping if you have the holes to make the spool lighter.
great tip.. I've always had this problem. and now I've found a solution.!.
I've found it to be useful to remove the spool to tie the knot on to it then put it back into the reel after the knot is secure
Susquehanna fishing tackle near my house has the inceptions in stock right now almost bought one the other day
Good luck in Florida man! There's some good fishin down there! It'll prolly take almost two days to cover all of Lake Okeechobee XD! Good Fishin!
Nice video gene I can't wait to get some black ops on my reels
Hey, Great Content and love your vids. and I have a 7'0 medium action casting road, I have 12lb mono and 30lb braid, and I just wanted to ask you which line to put on it for my reel. Thx and Good Year Of Fishing
Great easy tutorial. Thanks
Good video like it I've really never used braided line till a couple of months ago other then punching through heavy stuff what other techniques you recommend using it on
At 6:50 when you said you can spool it to another reel had me dying lol. Because I thought it was just a cheap rookie ways to save line haha
+Jonathan Servellon LOL. Heck no man. I have two reels sitting on my desk right now that have braid that will be recycled soon.
Awesome!! thanks for the info.. I been having issues with my braid digging into the spool. I've snapped off 65lb braid throwing an A-rig and loosing it...
i have been having issues here recently with my line digging then snapping off. pisses me off...
A tip I've found to work well to help with getting the line around the spool:
If your spool is drilled, push the line through the line guide and loop it around your finger with about 10-12" of free line. Then put as much of the end of the line in one of the holes in the spool and turn the spool. That's it. No fighting, no trying to thread it around or pick the line out, etc.
Thanks! Nice video helped me out a lot
GENE, I really like your idea of putting mono on prior to the more expensive braid. How do you determine how much braid to spool on the reel?
A great youtube channel tips! Another good video congratulations
Not a braid question but I just got a origin A for a jerk bait reel and I put 12# seaguar floro on it and I get backlash after backlash and I am not new to bait casters. I have a couple Abu and lews reels and used vanish and figured I would try seaguar.
thanks for the tips Flukemaster, and Remember I want to be the first one you take fishing whenever you start a Guide service, I'm ready man just let me know I'll take the plane flight to fish with you Now!!
I have that reel its nice and i found out you can stick the line in any of the holes in the side of the spool and spin the handle slow and it will rap the line around the spool easier
+Matt Shears You sure can.
Bra. . The Alberto knot is the best knot ever. I always tie it to my leader. Never had a single problem, plus it's fast
Good video Gene. Ya'll will save yourselves a lot of money if you use mono backing with your braid. Also if you can't figure out the the knot he's using to tie the original line directly onto the spool, don't sweat it, you shouldn't ever have to get down to the actual spool. Just tie several overhand knots and you're good to go. If you really feel nervous, put some electrical tape on the spool over your knot. And a lot of reels these days have holes in the spool for you to tie onto.
I do this with all my reel it works awesome. Great video "Fish on"
Hey Gene would you do a video on how to land fish in a kayak, it'd be great! Thanks
Great tip I was just needing a vid like this lol
Could you do a review on the knew 13 fishing inception? I just ordered one from their website.
Hey Gene! What did you think of the Kastking braid? I don't know if i missed a review on it or if you just mentioned it and nothing else.
Hope to hear what your thoughts were on that braid.
hello are you still useing the blackout rods I just bought one just wanted to know how they did after your video on them thank you
Looking good man! You look like you've lost a ton of weight! Keeps the videos coming
Gene. Great video! Would you buy a 13 reel over a kurado 200i? If so why? Thanks
Good video man! I have a video coming out tomorrow on taking braid off a reel.
I have to admit that I like your video better TJ.
TackleJunky81
TackleJunky81 does the poundage of the momo matter
Hey gene, would it be possible if you made a punching tutorial video? I was wondering how. It's the only type of bait I don't have confidence in. I really want to learn how. I live in Florida so there is cover all over the place. Thanks
Can you clarify something for me? I just bought a Lew's Mach II spool which does have holes to pass line through. If I tie the slip knot through the holes, does that work just as well as wrapping mono before hand? I understand the concept of using mono to save braid, just wondering if the holes serve the same purpose in stopping slippage.
how did that mega 8 line do? i seen that stuff on ebay and it vomes in black and is very affordable. tempted to order some for my topwater setup!
is it a good idea to put braid on first with the tape and then put like a 20 ft floor carbon leader for like jig fishing would that work seams like it would save money will that work thanks
Thumbs up brother.....good common sense, love your videos
+Kentucky65 Thanks
Was just about to look this up and it came up on my feed 💪🏼💪🏼
I always use a uni to uni for my backing to main and also for leaders
Is 125 yards of straight braid ( no backing) enough to fill up my shakespeare agility lp baitcaster
Have you noticed any difference in casting distance with the mono backing?
my bait caster is a cheap Agility from walmart paired with a 7' lews rod, can i still use 30 pound test?
very nice video!!
i have the Lew's speed spool LFS and i want to put braid can i use the BPS excel 10lbs mono as a backing?
i always use a mono backer with braid but i dont use that heavy test. just anything over 12 but not too high
Hey Flukemaster,
When spooling a baitcaster like that, would you tie a leader as well? (I am fishing in the UP of Michigan where the primary fish are LMB/SMB, Walleye, and Northern Pike. I have a 150 Castias that I got for Christmas and I wanted to know what you would suggest for line.
awesome vid!
Do you think a double Uniknot works as good as the Alberto knot?
Does it matter what test the mono is? Thanks!
Thanks for the video and info
+Lamont Hunt You're welcome
what is a good way to prevent braid tightening on itself and knotting?
Just wondering if it matters what test lb mono line you start with?
Awesome video Gene. never thought about the electrical tape but I always used mono as a base. I also never heard of spooling onto another reel to use the other end of braid.
So you use a flouro leader when you flip/pitch ?
Nice Video..Any reason why you dont tie the line to one of the holes in the spool?
Didn't look like there were any
You would be putting the bulk of the tension on a thinner part rather than the entire diameter of the reel.
While its true that the tension will be disappated rather evenly with the reel full, if you start running outta line your reel might start having issues.
I, like an idiot, bought a frog to use but then put 12lbs flouro on my baitcasting reel, and I was wondering if there would be a good way to not waste that much of the fluorocarbon line that I bought but still be able to put braid on. Would I just take out a bunch of line until I have a backing good enough to put the braid on?
Edit: btw I have an Abu Garcia Black Max 2
Since the FG knot is smaller and more compact why not just use it instead of Alberto knot?
If you take out the spool you can tie your line around the spool much easier
Should I use the same diameter mono to braid or does it matter?
Could you use a square knot to tie your braid to your backing
Could you do a video on what you do before you go out? Like the research on the lake your going to and rod and boat prep
You did a boat one with you getting it ready
Im new to baitcasters. I was wondering what a good rod and reel would be, nothing crazy since im just starting off. I usually fish with senkos, and occasionally small or lipless crankbaits. I would love some recomendations.
Chris M. A Abu Garcia black max or a silver max and a Abu Garcia vendetta rod 6'6 medium heavy
From personal experience (having been new to bait casting myself at one point) If what you are fishing with are small cranks and light soft plastics, using a med/heavy rod paired up with a cheap reel is just going to make you want to drive your boat into a bridge at a high rate of speed. I strongly recommend that you save your money and buy a nicer rod and reel. The reel in this video costs $120 and isn't a bad starter reel (I have one - 13 Fishing Inception). I would also invest in a 7' med power fast action rod. Fluke Master has some awesome videos about rod and reel selections. Watch them. I absolutely promise you, if you save up and invest in quality equipment, you will be TONS more satisfied with your bait casting experience. IMO
Great! thanks for the reply!
+Alex Petrovich You're welcome
Can't wait to see how that reel holds up on those big girls in all of that cover. Good luck down there.
+Phantom Fishing I really do try to break the stuff I do reviews on.
+Flukemaster that's good because I can't afford to. I like the price, now I want to see the power because that is exactly what I will buy it for. I will throw it on the blackout and use it as my Texas rig setup for the Bfl this year. Thanks
tried 30# braid with 20# flo leader on duckett micro guide, fg knot has to be perfect. Will retie.
hey man just wanna say i have learned so much from your videos check your channel every day to see the latest. i just have a question with these winter time fish im in texas so not super cold but the bass are still so inactive what is the best way to search for the fish from the banks.
+Chris Walters Slow roll a spinnerbait.
+Flukemaster should it be a heavier one then i would use in the spring or fall?
+Flukemaster and also just wanted to say thanks for your service heard in one of ypur videos you spent some time in the army im currently stationed at ft hood so thanks for your service and for doing what you do.
great job
So how did you like the cast king braid? Did it hold its color well. I have spiderwire and im not liking it because of how quickly i fades. Hoping u could tell me bout this one :)
Once again a very good video. Please tell me that a video is coming when you go to Okeechobee?
+Alex Webb Outdoors I'm working through some details on the trip but yes. there will be a video.
If you haven't yet checked out 13 fishing's website, they have right handed retrieves on there available
Is 15 pound mono with 40 pound power pro good?
Does the backing ling need to be the same diameter as the main line?
What are your thoughts on the double fishermans knot for joining the two line together?
+Jacob Flint should work fine
Couple of questions. Why the Alberto knot instead of an fg to connect the mono to the braid? Given the fg is thinner. Two, a bass resource video came up next and he didn’t put a base of mono on. He used a lot of finger pressure to wind the braid on tight. Which method do you prefer?
The FG knot requires tension to be put on the line. When I'm spooling a reel up most of the time I don't have it attached to the rod so an Alberto is better because it doesn't require tension. I would never use the finger pressure method, it's not as reliable.
Flukemaster thx Gene
Can you put pretty much on any bait-caster reel braided line ?
Yeah
I do not use mono any more for anything other than ice fishing, my father is a salmon troller , so he always has left over 12# Ande mono, which has spent a summer in the cabin of his boat. Even after all that heat has hit that over those months, It still has less memory than any other mono I have every used, which makes it easier to spool as backing. Ande is fairly cheap, try it, you won't regret it.
I bought the 250+ yards of 20lb braid for $8 on Amazon. The line is flawless, same brand too !
+Urbanfisherman_ Cool. That's good to hear
Hey gene how did you like kastkings line?
I'll be doing to re-spools soon. Taking that damned fluorocarbon off for some braid. I was thinking about buying kastking too. looking forward to your feedback on it.
I use spider wire braid and its never let me down
why do you need a leader line first? I have always tied my braid without a leader and have no issues.
Hey I’ve heard several times in your videos and others that you would put the link next to you or in the directory etc... I can’t find these links-is that my issue operating RUclips or are you forgetting to add them. Love your videos and your approach to teaching. Thanks for all you do
Somewhere down to the right of the Title of the video you will see a small arrow. Click on that and it will open the description.
Thanks so much
how was the KastKing braid? I've considered trying some of that and wanted to find an honest review. I recently ordered a spool of the Flurocote copolymer line.
It was about like any other smooth braid. It dug into itself very easy.
Was it worth the money or would you never use it again?
What knot do you tie when using lures with braid? I've been having a problem with losing lures, because of the knot slipping or something.
+Aj Delira Always tie the palomar
Is it necessary to use electrical tape or a fluorocarbon backer on spinning reels too? Or just baitcasters? Thx
I always add some sort of backing to spinning reels don't know if you need to but it works for me
hey i love your videos im trying to start a youtube channel of my own but i cant seem to get the editing part down i was wondering if you could maybe help me out on how to edit them
+Samantha Saunders I learned by watching youtube videos on the program that I bought.
That reel not have holes in the spool to stick the line in and reel it on without having to do a knot??
fluke, when will your review of the kastking products be posted? I'm eager to hear your opinion.
+Maurice Gerardo I'm ready to film a bunch of reviews. I'm going to sit down and bust out a bunch of them next week and launch them on RUclips in the weeks to come.
