*Great product. **enjoyable.fishing** recommend I have never used a baitcaster before and did a lot of research before buying this one. I bought it with the Torrent casting rod as well and it works very nice.*
OMG I am fifty and nobody before you showed me how to use a spinning reel like you just did !! Pretty amazing I would very much see a caster like you doing a true comparison of spinning vs casting !
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.
If you cast a spinning reel, this is the way to do it This is literally hands-down, the absolute best method. I wish more people saw this video. I’m gonna show people this method and tell them about this video.
Amazing! You nailed it! Thankyou! I'm watching a lot of video's on this and other fishing subjects. The self proclaimed "experts" have one thing in common: they haven't got a clue on how to communicate an idea! You took me from my current level of understanding to where you wanted me. I can duplicate this. Hopefully, you are still sharing your knowledge.
The best and most accurate casting method i have ever seen, new to spinning, and going to practise your perfectly logical method, so that i'll use the right method from the start, and not start with all the bad ones, and have to suffer noobs problems!!
You just solved my problem . (I'm learning) I have not been casting right. I have come across and issue. Well I knew I was doing something wrong, cause it defiantly was not the equipment. My equipment is on point. Iv started Using light gear targeting ( bream,flathead, whiting ) started to move onto hardbodys and down to 6 lbs quality braid. Light braid and a bad technique ends up with loop knots around guides. So I knew it was me . Went for a flick today problem solved !! Cheers mate
Yeah, I just learned this technique in about 30 seconds and it makes casting on a spinning rods so much more fun this is awesome feels like I’m actually in control of my ride when I put my finger on top of the real it’s so sick and smart that’s so awesome. Can’t wait to get more cash out with this technique.
Are you kidding me? That was insane. He could knock someone out with that plug from 40 meters and they wouldn't know what hit them. Gotta say this is pretty awesome
Hi Adam. Thank You for posting this video. I have a question for you please. Would this cast work with a 11 feet feeder quiver tip rod? I would be casting a cage feeder of about 30 Grams and that's empty. I have three different quiver tips 1-2 & 3 Ounces that I can fit. I have no problems with distance as using a line clip, it's just improving my left / right position. Kind regards Paul. Suffolk UK.
I learned from an uncle long ago to feather spool with finger. But I used the index pickup at beginning of cast. Now I remember he too pinched line on spool at beginning of cast. Now where’s my casting plug I have to practice. Thank u !!!!
Love these new lipped Abu I just ordered the revo alx and this new Donald Bradman aka casting is great for boat casts but also weighted sinkers fly off with ease due to the edge lip, Whiting on poppers in the flats would be nice to see this new technique in action
Thanks sir for this tutorial..i tried it yesterday and my friend shocked at my accuracy..they was like..dude!do you finally switch to bc reel? haha..all my friends knew im not a big fan of bc reel..with spinning reel i never got accurate cast but thanks to you now i can
Sounds like a personal problem. This is the best way to cast spinning reel hands down ever since I saw this video it changed the sissy stick for me. I fell in love the spinning reel. Good luck lefty. Btw world is made for righties so. Maybe ambidextrous?
it's also a good way to let the line come off the reel before you want it to. he fishes for a living. be safe and don.t do it. it might cause you a mess you don't need. there is nothing wrong with the standard way.
Looks good fishing for small fish with light tackle. Nothing for 150 gram Lures fishing for i.e. Pike. Many bigger reels don't even allow for opening the bail in that position. Might try this for light perch fishing thought just for the heck of it but the same accuracy can be achieved with the standard way without relearning.
I'm in Uk been using fixed spool since I was 8 years old and went over to baitcasters(increased accuracy) for lure fishing 20 years ago .. With the exception of big jerkbaits ,since watching this vid I've gone back to spinning reels . Every minuite saved from not having to flip the bail arm over has cost 10 unpicking birdsnests .. no more
Hi, Great video, but I'm confused! You said at the beginning that it's illegal to hold the line on the pad of your index finger? I'm assuming you are from Australia...apologises if your not, but I'm in the UK, so I don't think it's illegal here, if it is I'm in the Shit!!
Great video, great technique. But this works only with lure casting, and a low weight at the end of the line. This can't be used in feeder fishing, unfortunately.
How does your technique work when casting a 13 foot rod and a 4-8 oz. lure? I don't see how you could fully load your rod for distance with just pinching the line with one finger on the spool? Just wondering, seems like more of a short casting accuracy technique to me for more bass fishing and sight fishing applications? I'm not down grading what your doing I'm just wondering if you think this application could be used for surf style fishing where you have to cast further and with that come a lot of pressure on the line you are holding. Great video though, I will practice this for sure and see how it feels, I do fish light tackle also but my main passion is throwing big top water stuff off rocks and beaches. Thanks!
By cliffs I assume you mean rocky ledges near the ocean or just rock formations alongside the edge of the water? I'm not sure which part you seem to have an issue with as I do this while rock fishing in the ocean from cliffs and rocky formations. It's pretty neat to be accurate and DECIDE where the bait goes. I'd love for you to tell me why you "wish" you didn't grab this idea from him!
Interesting, but I can see the bait flying off every time. Also, some people do not like to plow their lure into the water at high speed on a cast like how the plug is hitting the target in the video. Plus, vegetation at some fishing spots does leave room for an overhead cast. Only though practical experience can one cast with reasonable accuracy in a variety of situations. Part of learning to fish is learning one's limitations and fishing within them.
*Great product. **enjoyable.fishing** recommend I have never used a baitcaster before and did a lot of research before buying this one. I bought it with the Torrent casting rod as well and it works very nice.*
This is the first time that I watch some one doing a vid showing how to cast accurate with a spinning rod and reel that’s awesome.
This has to be the best spinner reel casting tutorial on RUclips. Thanks!

That finger on the spool!! Many thanks for the heads up!!!! I'm trying today
The best and most accurate casting method i have ever seen, new to spinning, and going to practise your perfectly logical method, so that i'll use the right method from the start, and not start with all the bad ones, and have to suffer noobs problems!!
The sound of that target being hit is so gratifying…thanks for the tips, about to elevate my casting.
Really a fantastic technique said by any one before. Also a brilliant videography by your own.

Well damn. Now I feel like I’m kinda trash at casting
Yea I thought I was pretty good to
😯 😅
Are you kidding me? That was insane. He could knock someone out with that plug from 40 meters and they wouldn't know what hit them. Gotta say this is pretty awesome
Just got my Pflueger President XT... going to start practicing like this !
the cooooooooolest video out there and defiantly one of the most useful ones!!
Thanks Adam! Yes, that was a fantastic video!
New subscriber here!
This is the best thing I’ve ever seen...
This video is legendary I show every person that is willing to learn a different way to cast this exact way @59
Grabbed my rod and tried it myself after watching this video!
Hi Adam. Thank You for posting this video. I have a question for you please. Would this cast work with a 11 feet feeder quiver tip rod?

Wow..that bullseye cast.. Brilliant casting tutorial Adam! Thanks for sharing🤝
I learned from an uncle long ago to feather spool with finger. But I used the index pickup at beginning of cast. Now I remember he too pinched line on spool at beginning of cast. Now where’s my casting plug I have to practice. Thank u !!!!
I needed this video all these years I’ve Ben doing it wrong great video 👍
Superb!!! Thanks for sharing that awesome way of casting spinning reel.
Tq mate, just getting into fishing and your video was very helpful in my accuracy struggle 😅😅😅. Happy 2025 new year mate. Greetings from Malaysia
Whoa!Thats is awesome cast and great technic,that you tips.
Great tutorial. Will be giving this a go for sure.
Less like casting, more like shooting, awesome. Flat straight and accurate, incredible. Question though, what lure weights will this work for
wow, I grew up doing it wrong the entire time 😮
Seen hundreds of fishing videos and been around hundreds of fishermen never seen this awesome technique. lol thanks a bunch
Awesome technique mate.
Awesome casting
This video just changed my LIFE.
Tested & Proven.it really worked esp when casting on a short dist casting.thnx for the new tip.👍
This is great stuff! Thank you
Love these new lipped Abu I just ordered the revo alx and this new Donald Bradman aka casting is great for boat casts but also weighted sinkers fly off with ease due to the edge lip,
Whiting on poppers in the flats would be nice to see this new technique in action
Be careful "pile driving" the plug into your rod tip. You'll knock the liner out of the tip.
You are a MASTER of casting
Thanks sir for this tutorial..i tried it yesterday and my friend shocked at my accuracy..they was like..dude!do you finally switch to bc reel?
haha..all my friends knew im not a big fan of bc reel..with spinning reel i never got accurate cast but thanks to you now i can
this is some pretty advanced stuff
Thanks for leveling me up to 200 IQ on spinner casting.
Isa kang alamat! 👍👏👏👏
Yes he is, a f*cking legend
Mind blown 😳 back to the drawing board after 30years of UK style casting 🙈
Nice cant wait to try this technique in the field of battle.,..
Works well for a right ganded person but what about the lefty. Can't controll the line the same way.
Sounds like a personal problem. This is the best way to cast spinning reel hands down ever since I saw this video it changed the sissy stick for me. I fell in love the spinning reel. Good luck lefty. Btw world is made for righties so. Maybe ambidextrous?
Thks I'm going to try this
Awesome
❤
Excellent technique. I t worked for me. Great video.
Great a tutorial 🙏🏻🙏🏻😊🤗🥰
Wow...thanks, going to give this a try for sure.
How did this video not get more attention then this??
Wow! This is accurate. I might need a sinker with arrow tip just hit the fish with it. Lol. Awesome tip 👍👍👍👍👍
great video,will defiantly be trying this
it's also a good way to let the line come off the reel before you want it to. he fishes for a living. be safe and don.t do it. it might cause you a mess you don't need. there is nothing wrong with the standard way.

Gonna go practice. This video should get more views. !!
Amazing thank you, makes so much sense and is awesome
new stuff never seen this method before
What can be done on a side arm cast?
I'm in Uk been using fixed spool since I was 8 years old and went over to baitcasters(increased accuracy) for lure fishing 20 years ago .. With the exception of big jerkbaits ,since watching this vid I've gone back to spinning reels . Every minuite saved from not having to flip the bail arm over has cost 10 unpicking birdsnests .. no more
I enjoyed it
Great video
Too Bloody Good
What rod and reel is this
So I am left-handed. How would a left-handed Angler use a similar method with out have to learn to fish right-handed
After watching this - Can someone explain to me why I would even want a baitcaster? (other than for line capacity reasons)
Hi, Great video, but I'm confused! You said at the beginning that it's illegal to hold the line on the pad of your index finger? I'm assuming you are from Australia...apologises if your not, but I'm in the UK, so I don't think it's illegal here, if it is I'm in the Shit!!
It’s not illegal it’s a figure of speech so you don’t do it
Thanks Adam best casting video , thought I wasn't to bad till I watched this video.
Damn!!! Does he miss? That is awesome.
"just like that... BOOM.."
CrazyRussian guy.. is that you?? lol
Subbed
One more video like this
And I owe y’all at least 9 lures
Well crafted braH
🌵🧀🐠
I'm gonna take back my spinning reel from the trash
Brilliant!
Umm...I don't think I can see the need to use a baitcaster anymore.
Cheers Mate!
“Illegal casting with finger on line” which state and can someone share a link to this fact please.
It was a joke my guy.
Great video, great technique. But this works only with lure casting, and a low weight at the end of the line. This can't be used in feeder fishing, unfortunately.

Most satisfying video 👌👌
Amazing
I'll be throwing curve balls at seagulls in no time. boom
Can anyone explain me why grabbing the line is illegal ?
err - metaphor....
420? I understand why you don't understand a metaphor. Get off the dope and your world be a much smart place. D-bag
🤦♂️
Smart arse, the guy, and myself were just asking a question! Obviously somethings are lost in translation!!
dee jay I figured he was kidding. It’s “illegal” because there’s a much better way...
NOW I AM A PRO CASTAH !!!
100% more line twist!
that boi gud.
Wow! How dumb do I feel now. 😂
Wow!!
ok I'm humbled
👍👍❤️
I don't cast in meters, I don't drive at Kilometers.
Ricky Hatton?
This works on soft waters...the index finger on the reel...try it on cliffs...and you would wish you had never grabbed this idea from this guy !
Do elaborate...
By cliffs I assume you mean rocky ledges near the ocean or just rock formations alongside the edge of the water? I'm not sure which part you seem to have an issue with as I do this while rock fishing in the ocean from cliffs and rocky formations. It's pretty neat to be accurate and DECIDE where the bait goes.

You just bloody can't!!!!!!!!
