Love the videos bro you do some great content. Especially how your always taking time out of your life to help the fishing community and that’s big man. Thank you if it wasn’t for you bro I wouldn’t have bought a baitcaster and learned to fish with it. I thank you so much for that I love them now and own three because of you bro. THANK YOU BIG BRO. I hope you see this because I want you to know that what your doing is great and helping people. If it helped me imagine all the others man. Keep up the great work🔥🔥🔥
You're welcome man. All the thanks goes to folks like you who watch. This is exactly why I do it! Thanks for taking time to comment and let me know my vids are helping. Tigh lines my man👊
Dude... when I first got my baitcaster I just tied a drop weight onto the end and practiced in my backyard for hours til I felt good about it. All in the wrist, and that little under-roll flick is golden!
When you’re North of 50 you tend to forget things and I’m so thankful that Debo’s Fishing Channel is here so I can refresh my Noggin and get back to Zinging Frogs lol. Thank you my friend again.
Oh My God Debo Thank you so much😭😭😭 because for christmas this year i got my 1st bait caster i spent all christmas day watching how to use a bait caster on youtube then i watched you on monday and after 2 respools and 1 broken christmas ornament later i imediately learned to over cast , im going to practice my heart out over hand casting my bait caster but im not kidding monday or tuesday afternoon i was watching you Debo and i was litterally balling tears of happy joy because of you i have been able to make over hand cast with no backlash. Because of you Debo it only took me 1 day learn to over hand cast my 1st bait caster. i plan on practicing my heart out to build up my confidence. i wanted to full heartedly thank you
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.
Step 1: See Debo post a new video. Step 2: Smash LIKE because you know the video is going to be good. Step 3: Watch video. Great tips once again, Debo. As a bank angler reacquiring my casting stroke, these tips are like gold!
So bit the bullet and bought a baitcaster, never used one and backslashed near the whole spool.. rookie mistake.. after watching these baitcaster tips, I have to thank you. I'll definitely be trying all these tricks and thumb control.
Hi DEBO Just a greeting from Denmark. Love watching your videos. Despite that I dont bass fish but the pike fishing or perch fishing with baitcaster I still learn some tricks from your videos😊 Hope your gonna have a great weekend🎣
The casting to the non-dominant side tip to release earlier than usual is gold bro. You ever throw a small trailer hook on your chatterbaits? I'm sure 3 years later you do some things differently, but that was educational just watching your rod load with a chatterbait and the fish not get pinned.
This is late for a comment BUT, those shorter pitch casts also help you to fish close to the bank first. Fish the structure, cover even open water right in front of yourself especially from the bank. Work it close to you as is realistic then work your way out. I see folks throw a bomb first few minutes at a spot, catch a fish sure but ya just spooked the five between wherever you hooked it and yourself. Everything between as that fish comes to the bank scattered from the commotion. Start cloudy catch those then work your way out. I hope this makes sense and anyone can understand my rambling lol. BTW I watch a TON of fishing videos and DEBO is one of if not THE BEST instructor on you tube. Brother ya just got a way of exposing things that is great. Thanks and keep it up!
I just recommended your video to viewer from the other side of the World. He needs serious help with servicing his baitcaster. I gave him the links to your channel and links to the two great videos you made previously. Wow, I am amazed at the size of the rod you are holding on this video it looks 10-feet long on camera. Wow! You crack me up, I just made you an international star.
I just got my first baitcaster from my wonderful family for Father's Day. After struggling and getting frustrated I searched for some tips. Thank you for this video. I'm guilty of doing all the wrong things. I feel next time will go not perfectly, but better.
There are so many videos out ab setting a baitcaster and basic cast but This is what I was looking for! Love the golf analogy. Very similar to learning a golf swing. Thanks for all the great tips!
Watched this last year not knowing wtf I had gotten myself into when I opted to buy a baitcaster over spinning as my first setup , didn't understand anything . Nice to come back after a summer of fishing and realized I've progressed on my baitcasting so much . Lots of practice and a ton of backlashes . Now I need to get into the fancy stuff skipping like a pro
amazing channel. you gotta hook up a members addition or whatever it is that allows us to join, your info and tips are priceless and have saved me so much frustration! taking my baitcaster out for the first time tomorrow morning. lot of info and quick talking but i rewind a lot and pause to mess with my rigs. thank you again and have a great summer BIG DEBO
Perfect timing, here in Cali the Tuolumne river is flooded, and the water is up to the trees, and I have been learning how to pitch under the limbs. The explanation helped along as I never used the other hand to assist with the pitch control.
The way that you did that slow motion cast was pretty awesome. :) I mean the way that you kicked your leg out at the end like, "Hey, sailor!" Wink, wink, nudge, nudge, know what I mean? OK, just having a little fun - LOL There is some good info here... God knows that I need it because no one ever taught me to actually fish when I was a kid. lol It was the blind leading the blind, and seldom was a fish ever caught. I just got to the point where I gave up, and the only thing that I ever really looked forward to catching on a fishing trip was a beer buzz. LOL Thank God for you tube and for people like you actually educating the ignorant masses about how to fish. Subbed and liked. :)
Once again Debo, thanks for the great informative video. Love to watch when you post these types of videos as there is always something in them that will improve my fishing experience. Lantis from South Africa.
Another informative viDEBO! Great advice as always man. Practice practice practice!! I use all of these, but still need to work on all, i picked up baitcasters a year and a half ago or so. And knew it was going to be a process. Thankful i found your vids early on to hone in on these skills! This guy can fish, dont get it twisted y'all!!!
Thanks my Dude! Awesome video! ... I just really started getting into Baitcasting this year... I tried it last year but put it down because it was getting frustrating. I watched this video a couple times and then went out to put it to practice on the canal bank...I got to say it really was a game-changer for me. I was definitely trying to put too much muscle into it before. And this video taught me how to roll cast which was an unbelievable advantage when fishing from the bank. 😎
Oh wow,, I NEEDED this video last night's! LOL. I was screwing up sooo bad. Basically, I was having every problem mentioned in this video. I'm a regular open reel-type girl. But I got adventurous and bought a baitcaster months ago, and have been too intimidated to try it, lol. Yesterday evening, my boyfriend was trimming trees in the backyard. So I decided to hang out there with him and try the baitcaster. I tied a weight to the end, made some adjustments, and cast it a few dozen times. Learned how to fix bird nests. Learned the mechanics of casting and reeling it. But... I couldn't get any distance! Grrrr! Maybe 10 or 15 feet tops. And my aim SUCKED. My side arm casts were going waayyyy too far to the sides. I need to go back out there and try the tips in this video.
Debo you are my favorite you tube fisherman. I take your tips out every time I go fishing. My fishing has greatly improved because my techniques have improved.
Debo,. All of your baitcasting vids have turned me into a true baitcasting lover. From how to setup and cast to how to fix a blow up backlash. I have my spinning rods for finesse but my baitcasters, thanks to you, have opened up a world of options to this guy. Thank you so much for all you do.
Awesome!! All the technics I use I learned from you. Wife watched the video with me and all she said was’He said wood, hahaha!’. She does not like feathering the spool so I don’t believe she will be a baitcaster user anytime soon. Thanks for the info and Videos Debo. From Texas here.
Hahah well she is correct, I did talk about pitching and wood in the same sentence 🤣 Nothing wrong with sticking to spinning gear, all depends on what you prefer. Thanks for watching from TX👊👊👊
A help for those who continue to have backlashes is to make a long cast and then pull off approximately 15 to 20 yards. Then put a small piece of clear scotch wrapping tape neatly across the line (only) inbetween the sides of the spool. This will help prevent backlashes from going past that point where you have the tape. This trick helped save me a lot of time untangling those bird nest as I was learning how to cast.
I personally will say that when you start practice pitching you hold the rod in your opposite hand ie.. if you reel left handed hold it in your right if you reel with your right hold the rod in your left hand. think about this for a minute you pitch to a spot a fish is sitting on and he hits your bait as soon as it hits the water you have wasted a half second too late to set the hook, that one second can help you land that giant. great video and thks for the info.
Best bait casting video I’ve viewed. I’ve been fishing for almost 50 years and bought my first baitcaster today. As l am mostly a bank fisher, the instruction was exactly what l was looking for. Well done!
I just get my zebco 33 and a 3rd, cast tiny minnow lure with the accuracy of a target shooter like those Jalapeno anglers and BAM! I catch bass. lol Can you tell I've read "That Guy's" comment. LMAO! Always one out there. Good stuff my brotha.
I don't think this can get any better. Your videos are more than good. I feel like I've already improved my skills just by watching these guides because they are all in my head now. Not like just mimicing some moves, you make me understand WHY and HOW so good that I can already see myself casting. Great work man. Thank you!
Always a good teacher Debo. Thanks! (I use your videos not only for myself but to help others learn. You are always interesting to watch and not dry,....kind of a pun there unintentionally)
Hi Debo, I am from Sydney Australia and a mad keen fisho , I really enjoy your videos mate , the way you explain and teach is excellent and so easy to follow , you taught me how use and tune my bait caster properly - I was getting back lashes all the time before I watched a few of your videos. thank you man...Niko
Quality informative video, love your laid back style. If my girlfriend gets into baitcasters I’ll most definitely send her this way, she’s stuck on the spinning reel and doesn’t wanna use a baitcaster because of the “steps” it takes to set up
DEBO'S Fishing of course, maybe if she had a left hand retrieve she’d like it but she’s completely content fishing wacky/neds all year long. So guess that means I can spend more money on more rigs for myself!
I learned how to pitch n flip from your older video on it. And its helped me tremendously! This Bass pond right down the street from me is all but 3 spots overgrown trees (literally cannot overhand cast) So you either get lucky or better know how to pitch if you wanna cast to the good spots!
I haven't been able to get fishing for over 2 months. I have however been studying at the school of Debo. I am going on a weekend feeshing trip to put all of these tips to use. Thanks again sensei.
Lost 2 choppos and a lunkerhunt plug a few weekends ago on my spinning rod trying to bank fish close to shrubs and reeds. Watched your beginner videos on a baitcaster and decided to give it a shot. Only 2 trips in, but I feel like I've got the hang of it. Still some backlashes, but not a lot, and I'm much more accurate with my casting. Watched your video on drop shotting, so I converted my spinning rig to a drop shot rig tonight and am gonna give the smallmouth up here in Canada hell tomorrow morning. Thanks Debo!
I appreciate your channel, I've always use spinning reels, I'm new to using baitcaster. You covered a lot of questions I had about using a baitcaster. Lastly, It was great to see you out in the field, showing us Real life situation and Scenarios.
Simple but easily one of your best. It improved my cast today! I just started fishing with my kids and I've learned the most from you of the fishing youtubers. Thanks so much and keep it going!!!
What a breath of fresh air with this video. This great for first timers or heck even a seasoned angler like myself. Sometimes you get all caught up and forget the basics. Also so nice to see a video that isn't a challenge video all the time. I struggle all the time with pitching and flipping and I will try these tactics next time i'm on the water. Love these learning, just fishing and review videos. Keep up the awesome work...
Got my first baitcaster yesterday after I started fishing a month ago, 2 hours spent casting not making it 10 foot casts into weeds and picking out backlashes , I'm determined and excited to learn , thank you so much debo
Bro, you damn rock in this learning video! Simple but understanding to us beginners!! I just got a Baitcaster reel and I’m trying hard to get the hang of it but after seeing your video, you gave me confident!! I know i will get this but thank you!! Like the saying goes, it’s never too late to teach an old dog with some new tricks! I’m 52 years old and just getting into this hobby of fishing! And I love it!!
Awesome to hear man. I'm glad the video could help you out. Never too old my friend, it's just a number. Have fun and hope you catch some biggins soon!
@@DEBOSFishing it really did. Used it yesterday from a jon boat while seated and figured I couldn't flip for crap sitting down, but turning my hand helped me get it done!
I have always used the side cast. Practiced all week on overhead. Starting to get more distance and fewer backlashes. Turning the hand sideways, huge help. As always, thank you!
Thank you for this video it really helped me learn how to use a baitcaster I went fishing today and was able to use these casts I used the flipping cast for when there were heavy overhang over me and I mostly used the role cast for along the shore and out into the water I am still trying to get the hang of the overhand cast it is not the same as casting with a spinning rod Also keep cleaning alchohol in your tackle to clean hook or line cuts and I think you use it on leeches
Wow! What an excellent video Debo. One of my favorites in a long time (eventhough I love them all). This video is great for novice and intermediate anglers as well. Even the most expert level anglers could always learn a thing or two. But with that being said, your analogies used throughout are really helpful. Eg- paintbrush, chopping wood, putting, etc. I myself need to improve on many of these techniques where as they can always be fine tuned. I'm guilty of "chopping wood" along with many others. Excellent video my brother
such a helpful video. i learned your roll cast when i watched your backlash trio. i just started to learn to pitch and flip. it's been a challenge until i watched this video. truly learned a lot. deeply appreciate all the work you put in and do. your goal to teach fishing in a way anyone can learn is a tremendous gift to all of us. thanks.
This is one of the best video to explain the casting techniques. I have used the side arm, but I am getting backlash from time to time using braid. I am still new to bait casters. I am in Florida and it has been hot and humid so I am not able to practice these different cast, but they are making me understand how to use these cast. Thanks for your simple explanation to follow.
This helped so much! Went out and snagged a 1lb smallie, not the brush he was hiding in. Woohoo! But, I forgot to set my drag so he ran up and tangled in the branches. I had to wade waist deep to go get him the hard way, but that's another story.
dude this was very informative. I've only used a baitcaster once and caused the Backlash from Hell on it. But I knew it was definitely a me problem (Absolutely no thumb control). Well, Today I grabbed one from Walmart because I wanted to master some new gear. This was a huge help.
Just came across this video and I'm presently thinking of trying a bait caster. Here's a question I never see answered. Why do right-handed folks cast with their right hand but hold the rod with their left hand when reeling in? Why switch hands instead of just using a reel with a left-hand retrieve? Great video by the way!
On point brother.👊 Very simple but detailed and informative video. I've got the over hand and the roll cast down to a "T"... But still working on The PITCH... I'm getting better and thanks to you I'm gonna " Twist the Wrist" I think that's what's been hold me back. So thank you for the Knowledge brother.....and Keep Kastin'! Tight lines and Rip dem lips.
Dude I just had a 12 catch day. Granted on a small private pond. But the technique was on point. Flippin nice and smooth. Keep up the great instruction vids
Hreat video 👍👍. Im definetly new to this bait caster and i did like one of your watchers, got in my back yard till i was comfortable. 😁😁😁😁 my 1st backlash was just dropping the weight to the ground to adjust my setting.
Thanks debo. I reached out to you a while ago for casting tips. Very helpful. I've learned that practice makes perfect. New PB 7.5 pounds. Big fish for Kerr Scott Reservoir here in WIlkes, NC.
I have been using a bait caster for about 30 years and I’ve always had a problem with overhead cast. They go 10 miles straight up and 10 mile straight down and not too far out on the lake so I don’t use them. however my son is fantastic with overhead cast and yet I copied him and still cannot do it perhaps this summer I’ll try your method and see if it works. From my experience I don’t think you need to use a lot of muscle on your casting I think you gotta use the rod power to get the bait out there and you have to learn how to do that I know what works for me on underhand cast. make the rod work for me I wonder how well it will work for the overhead cast well anyway summers coming and I’m getting ready thank you for the great instructions.
Love the videos bro you do some great content. Especially how your always taking time out of your life to help the fishing community and that’s big man. Thank you if it wasn’t for you bro I wouldn’t have bought a baitcaster and learned to fish with it. I thank you so much for that I love them now and own three because of you bro. THANK YOU BIG BRO.

I was never able to pitch my lures. Never thought about turning my rod over either. Thanks for that tip. It will change my game completely
thanks for the tips i am a 81 year old and been fishing for well over75 years but yes you can teach a old dog new tricks"thanks
I'm still learning how to use a batecaster. Thanks for showing and teaching how to use a batecaster.

@@DEBOSFishing LOL You can't take my Zebco!!!!
Thanks for the excellent video, gives me a chance to get back on the baitcasters after 40 years of using spinning reels only.
You're welcome. Good luck and hope it can help you out 👊
Just tried out my 1st baitcaster, will have to try and practice these three casts. Thanks for the very informative vid :)
Awesome, hope it helps out! Good luck man 👊
I don't think this can get any better. Your videos are more than good. I feel like I've already improved my skills just by watching these guides because they are all in my head now. Not like just mimicing some moves, you make me understand WHY and HOW so good that I can already see myself casting. Great work man. Thank you!
Always a good teacher Debo. Thanks! (I use your videos not only for myself but to help others learn. You are always interesting to watch and not dry,....kind of a pun there unintentionally)
Hahah thank you sir. I greatly appreciate you watching and supporting my channel. I gotta have fun while I do this or there is no point to it 👊👊👊
This video is exactly what I needed to see to understand. Thank you very much.
Best fishing channel out there. I'm new to fishing and wow have you helped! Thanks.
Hi Debo, I am from Sydney Australia and a mad keen fisho , I really enjoy your videos mate , the way you explain and teach is excellent and so easy to follow , you taught me how use and tune my bait caster properly - I was getting back lashes all the time before I watched a few of your videos. thank you man...Niko
That's so awesome to hear man. I'm honored that my vids have helped you out. Thanks for watching and supporting my channel 👊👊👊
Quality informative video, love your laid back style. If my girlfriend gets into baitcasters I’ll most definitely send her this way, she’s stuck on the spinning reel and doesn’t wanna use a baitcaster because of the “steps” it takes to set up
I hope it helps man. Nothing wrong with the spinning reels. I think both types have pros and cons.
DEBO'S Fishing of course, maybe if she had a left hand retrieve she’d like it but she’s completely content fishing wacky/neds all year long. So guess that means I can spend more money on more rigs for myself!
I learned how to pitch n flip from your older video on it. And its helped me tremendously! This Bass pond right down the street from me is all but 3 spots overgrown trees (literally cannot overhand cast) So you either get lucky or better know how to pitch if you wanna cast to the good spots!
I hear you man! The struggles of a bank angler get us use to fishing in tough spots! All thr more rewarding when we land one! Thanks for watching 👊

I haven't been able to get fishing for over 2 months. I have however been studying at the school of Debo. I am going on a weekend feeshing trip to put all of these tips to use. Thanks again sensei.
Dang man! I'd be going through some serious withdrawals. I hope my vids can help in the meantime! Thanks for watching man 👊👊👊
Lost 2 choppos and a lunkerhunt plug a few weekends ago on my spinning rod trying to bank fish close to shrubs and reeds. Watched your beginner videos on a baitcaster and decided to give it a shot. Only 2 trips in, but I feel like I've got the hang of it. Still some backlashes, but not a lot, and I'm much more accurate with my casting.
Watched your video on drop shotting, so I converted my spinning rig to a drop shot rig tonight and am gonna give the smallmouth up here in Canada hell tomorrow morning.
Thanks Debo!
Nice man! Great to hear your doing well with the baitcaster. Good luck with the drop shot! Thanks for watching 👊👊👊
I appreciate your channel, I've always use spinning reels, I'm new to using baitcaster. You covered a lot of questions I had about using a baitcaster. Lastly,
It was great to see you out in the field, showing us Real life situation and Scenarios.
Great videos. Just caught my first fish ever on a horrible cast with backlash. These tips should help
Perfect timing for this video, as I'm new with a baitcaster and looking for new ways to get the bait where I want it. Thanks Debo.
Hope the vid helps man. Just takes consistent practice! Thanks for watching 👊
Simple but easily one of your best. It improved my cast today! I just started fishing with my kids and I've learned the most from you of the fishing youtubers. Thanks so much and keep it going!!!
That makes me feel awesome man. Glad to hear my vids can help you and others out. Thank you very much for watching 👊
I am starting to put your techniques into practice and they are working perfectly for me
I was just in the backyard practicing and had all those issues as you posted this!!! Omg thank you! Just what I needed!
You're welcome! Keep practicing with it man. I pitched off of my back deck and it really helped! Thanks for watching 👊
Great video. Just bought my first baitcasting rig and this is very helpful. Thumbs up!
I never hail mary my cast. Perfect occasion for a backlash and or a big splash. These techniques really help
i am new to fishing and have learned alot about fishing from your videos thank you for doing the videos
What a breath of fresh air with this video. This great for first timers or heck even a seasoned angler like myself. Sometimes you get all caught up and forget the basics. Also so nice to see a video that isn't a challenge video all the time. I struggle all the time with pitching and flipping and I will try these tactics next time i'm on the water. Love these learning, just fishing and review videos. Keep up the awesome work...
Thank you sir, that means a lot to me. Agreed, gotta have a strong foundation to build on. Thanks for supporting my channel man 👊👊👊
Got my first baitcaster yesterday after I started fishing a month ago, 2 hours spent casting not making it 10 foot casts into weeds and picking out backlashes , I'm determined and excited to learn , thank you so much debo
No spool tension, adjust brakes until backlashes stop. Best performance possible.
Bro, you damn rock in this learning video! Simple but understanding to us beginners!! I just got a Baitcaster reel and I’m trying hard to get the hang of it but after seeing your video, you gave me confident!! I know i will get this but thank you!! Like the saying goes, it’s never too late to teach an old dog with some new tricks! I’m 52 years old and just getting into this hobby of fishing! And I love it!!
Awesome to hear man. I'm glad the video could help you out. Never too old my friend, it's just a number. Have fun and hope you catch some biggins soon!
You gave me enough confidence in this series for me to land some huge lunkers maestro. Thank you for all of your insight!
Thank you sir! Certainly hope this helps out. Thanks for watching 👊
Great video Debo! I've been working on my pitching and going to roll my wrist because I never thought about the limited range in the handshake motion.
You're welcome man, hope the tip helps! Thanks for watching 👊
@@DEBOSFishing it really did. Used it yesterday from a jon boat while seated and figured I couldn't flip for crap sitting down, but turning my hand helped me get it done!
Such an awesomely informative video! Thank you for taking the time to film this Debo!
You're welcome man. Thanks for taking the time to watch 👊👊👊
Hi Debo, yes I’m using them all ... and within the last weeks it‘s getting better and better 👍🏻 Greetings from Germany
Awesome! Thanks for watching from across the pond!
I have always used the side cast. Practiced all week on overhead. Starting to get more distance and fewer backlashes. Turning the hand sideways, huge help. As always, thank you!
Thank you for this video it really helped me learn how to use a baitcaster
I went fishing today and was able to use these casts
I used the flipping cast for when there were heavy overhang over me and I mostly used the role cast for along the shore and out into the water
I am still trying to get the hang of the overhand cast
it is not the same as casting with a spinning rod
Also keep cleaning alchohol in your tackle to clean hook or line cuts and I think you use it on leeches
Literally watched this and got the pitch down right after! Thanks so much!
That's freaking awesome to hear man. Very glad that this helped👊👊👊
Nice video. I have only been side arm casting. I am gonna have to try the overhead cast next time. I really appreciate your videos.
I've been using these casts for several years, but it's good to have a reminder of proper technique--familiarity can lead to sloppiness. Good video.
Appreciate that man. Most definitely, habits are developed slowly over time. Always good to go back to the basics. Appreciate you watching brother 👊
learned so much in the last hour watching your channel than my last year of actually fishing. thanks man!!
Debo-san says “paint the fence”. Thank you Mr. Miyagi. That will help with my pitching technique.
Hahah patience with that young grasshoppa! It did help me get more distance! Thanks for watching man 👊
Wow! What an excellent video Debo. One of my favorites in a long time (eventhough I love them all). This video is great for novice and intermediate anglers as well. Even the most expert level anglers could always learn a thing or two.
But with that being said, your analogies used throughout are really helpful. Eg- paintbrush, chopping wood, putting, etc. I myself need to improve on many of these techniques where as they can always be fine tuned. I'm guilty of "chopping wood" along with many others.
Excellent video my brother
Always appreciate you supporting me from day 1! Hope the tips can help some folks out. Thanks again brother 👊👊👊
Thanks you Debo, I have been fishing for years with a spinning reel. The last month i started using a baitcaster. Your videos are very helpful.
Nice, welcome to the realm of baitcasters! Thanks for watching and good luck on the water 👊
Absolutely my new favorite fishing channel. Informative and to the point. Great content. Thank you so much!
Appreciate that a lot my man. Thanks for supporting my channel 👊👊👊
That was the coolest example great video very informative thanks.
Thank you, hope it helps people out👊👊👊
such a helpful video. i learned your roll cast when i watched your backlash trio. i just started to learn to pitch and flip. it's been a challenge until i watched this video. truly learned a lot. deeply appreciate all the work you put in and do. your goal to teach fishing in a way anyone can learn is a tremendous gift to all of us. thanks.
Thank you very much, Brian! I'm glad these vids can help people out! Thanks for watching and supporting my channel 👊
Great video ! Thanks for taking the time to pass some knowledge along. I appreciate it very much 😊
you have the best instructional videos
Thank you, Mike. That means a lot to me 👊
Thanks for the tips and techniques. New to bait casters and fishing a lot to improve my skill level.
This is one of the best video to explain the casting techniques. I have used the side arm, but I am getting backlash from time to time using braid. I am still new to bait casters. I am in Florida and it has been hot and humid so I am not able to practice these different cast, but they are making me understand how to use these cast. Thanks for your simple explanation to follow.
Awesome man. I'm glad this helped! Good luck and keep with the casters!
I have trouble with all of these. But with more practice and your tips I feel confident. Thanks Debo
Glad the vid could help 👊
This helped so much! Went out and snagged a 1lb smallie, not the brush he was hiding in. Woohoo! But, I forgot to set my drag so he ran up and tangled in the branches. I had to wade waist deep to go get him the hard way, but that's another story.
Back from vacation and another excellent Debo vidya. Love it.
Thank you sir, appreciate you watching 👊
DEBO got video-bombed by some large head bass feeesh! Loved the video sir. Great tips and techniques for baitcasting beginners. Thumbs Bro!
Thank you man! Yeah, what's up with that? I felt like yelling at them "you don't own the water bro..." 🤣 Thanks for watching sir!
dude this was very informative. I've only used a baitcaster once and caused the Backlash from Hell on it. But I knew it was definitely a me problem (Absolutely no thumb control). Well, Today I grabbed one from Walmart because I wanted to master some new gear. This was a huge help.
Just came across this video and I'm presently thinking of trying a bait caster. Here's a question I never see answered. Why do right-handed folks cast with their right hand but hold the rod with their left hand when reeling in? Why switch hands instead of just using a reel with a left-hand retrieve? Great video by the way!
On point brother.👊 Very simple but detailed and informative video. I've got the over hand and the roll cast down to a "T"... But still working on The PITCH... I'm getting better and thanks to you I'm gonna " Twist the Wrist" I think that's what's been hold me back. So thank you for the Knowledge brother.....and Keep Kastin'! Tight lines and Rip dem lips.
Yeah, that helped me a lot too. I always tried to do it with the baitcaster flat and it didn't work! Thanks for watching man 👊👊👊
@@DEBOSFishing Always Brother...👊
Dude I just had a 12 catch day. Granted on a small private pond. But the technique was on point. Flippin nice and smooth. Keep up the great instruction vids
Nice! Great way to get a feel for baits and practice the pitch 👊 Thanks for watching man!
Awesome vid Debo, I’m about to pick up my first Baitcaster so this was a huge help to me & I’m sure many other newbies, nice catch there too!
That's why I made it man. Hope it can help a number of folks out! Thanks for watching!
Great video, Debo! People are lucky you put out such great content!
I'm honored that so many people watch my vids. Happy to share what I can to help the community. Thanks for watching 👊👊👊
As a new angler this was a great resource to really help me increase my knowledge. Thank you
Great video I have been using bait casters for a year now, getting better but I will for sure practice these technics. Thanks, Debo.
Always appreciate your support, John. Hope the tips help 👊
I cannot wait til I can throw my baitcaster as good as you. 😀Man it is tough to cast and this video helps motivate me.
Hreat video 👍👍.
Im definetly new to this bait caster and i did like one of your watchers, got in my back yard till i was comfortable.
😁😁😁😁 my 1st backlash was just dropping the weight to the ground to adjust my setting.
I enjoyed this teaching video. I learned a lot. Can’t wait to get out and try it. Thanks. I am now subscribed.
Thanks debo. I reached out to you a while ago for casting tips. Very helpful. I've learned that practice makes perfect. New PB 7.5 pounds. Big fish for Kerr Scott Reservoir here in WIlkes, NC.
Heeeeeyyyy! Heck yes man, that freaking awesome to hear! That's a toad! 👊👊👊👊👊
Great video, Debo! Just shared this with my son.
I have been using a bait caster for about 30 years and I’ve always had a problem with overhead cast. They go 10 miles straight up and 10 mile straight down and not too far out on the lake so I don’t use them. however my son is fantastic with overhead cast and yet I copied him and still cannot do it perhaps this summer I’ll try your method and see if it works. From my experience I don’t think you need to use a lot of muscle on your casting I think you gotta use the rod power to get the bait out there and you have to learn how to do that I know what works for me on underhand cast. make the rod work for me I wonder how well it will work for the overhead cast well anyway summers coming and I’m getting ready thank you for the great instructions.
debo, bought my first baitcaster a month or 2 ago. this REALLY helped🙏🏼
Awesome! Glad the vids can help. Tight lines 👊
Great video Debo, I learned more tricks and technique from this. Keep it up.
