- Nobody on the pro tour can launch a bait farther than Kevin VanDam. In this video he tells how he does it, to include the necessary equipment to proper body position that sends baits into the next county.

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.
*I met Kevin Van Dam in South Carolina At a boat ramp, I said hey that's a nice rod & reel there. (NOT Knowing who he was) He said it's mine custom made, and Now it's yours!* Had a KVD crankbait on it before it even came out.
So I believe what he had given me were prototypes and possibly unreleased.
That must have been incredible. I'd love just to spend a day learning and watching him work.

I was a kid and met him at Paris Landing on Kentucky Lake. He autographed a Bill Dance Baitcasting Reel that I still have 13 years later, lol. Awesome guy.
Lucky.
Heck yeah 👍👍👍
My left ear is really enjoying the video.
Right i agree
Same
Wtf why is it like that
Samee
Haha me 2
2:47 dang that a pro cast
Thanks for the great info, The last couple years I've been moving up to longer rods, from 5'6" and 6' up to 7' and I've seen a big difference in casting distance, also I now have better quality reels, such as the 2 Quantum team KVD reels I bought recently and I am very impressed with. One of my team KVD reels I loaded with 65 lbs braid for frog fishing, I get great distance with it without a lot of effort.
I met him in Alabama 2 years ago. He signed my bass pro shop hat. He’s a real nice guy.
That was one good advertisement. I still don't know how to cast far but, at least I know I can buy a Toyota at a Bass Pro Shop!😂
No spool tension, brakes 70% on. Best performance possible.
@@Shurmash for me, tighter tension knob, low break🙈. Can go untill 0 break on daiwa tatula type r. Same tune on curado dc.
*Used this today for first time **enjoyable.fishing** recommend caught four bass with it, it seems to be a solid reel so far. Very smooth and cast like a dream. I think its a good value.*

I am still practice using your way...and until now still practice too cause I can't still long cast..Thank you KVD
Thanks for the great info
Great advice
The rod swing is also important keeping the line tight threw out the hole motion/swing also there's a lot to it really, sure to him not much cause he's done it for 40 years oh yeah and great form Kevin
...when kvd started talking only the left side of the audio was audible ...also does kvd use his left side to cast too??? I started casting righty AND lefty and found I had much less tendon/joint issues !!!
tye-wone-awn
lmao
That is cool I will try it.
Hey, Mr. VanDam... you're on target with it all. Nay sayers are just plain wrong (and just jerking your chain). I outcast my boater partners during tournaments enough that they say so - and b/c I do what you say in this video - use a 200 series Quantum and step into the cast. (this video is not 101 freshman stuff for setting your brake system, etc, b/c it invites 100 series reel users to step up to the 200 series... 300 is for musky/pike anglers). I just happened across some 200 series Quantums a while back and bought of few of the EXO SPT200's, and am using them in tournaments... and they're excellent reels: Very reliable and the wider spool along with stepping into the cast IS how to get it done. No more 100 series for me b/c of the difference in spool size and drag systems for handling bigger bites. They're still low profile too. And, fyi, I did what you say in this video BEFORE I watched this video. My only complaint about the EXO series is sometimes experiencing difficulties while removing and replacing the side plate to adjust the micro drag - I get it but sometimes it's just not cooperative. OTHERWISE... I will be trying the 200 series Smoke reels the next time I'm in the market. And, by the way, with your record those that would simply consider you an easy target - or it's the competition trying to drag you down. Ignore it Sir!
Great 4 minute infomercial!
What size line do you use ?
Well I’m a 12 year old kid and my tip is um if your’re using a heavy bait/lure use a lot longer line out of your rod and put you rod near the ground and cast overhead and I get mine pretty FAR I’d say, but there’s my tip Thanks for Reading!
So u 13 now im guessing
Slorpyyy LMAO
15 woohoo!
I have a rod 10-40g rod 7f baitcaster and i use 10g lure and i can trow it around 20-30m is it good or its can trow more further cuz im begginer and i set my knob tension that when my lure hit the ground its stops spnining and i have breaks set at 3 my rod is savage gear sg2 medium game trigger and reel is mitchell mx3lp pls i rilly need help i dont know if im doing something wrong or its just equipment did i make mistake buying a baitcaster for 10-20g lure sometimes havier not more than 40g or cuz i cant trow it at all i manage to trow it like 20m when i use 7g lure with that rod i cant trow even 3m does its cant trow more than that saying a 10 g lure or i just need to get better if so how to get better at baitcaster im using 0.20mm braid its around 10 kg
Any over hand cast is an instant backlash for me....
Am I the only one who's right earbud left the chat?🤔😂
Kevin , stay Frosty . . . .
I thought that guy was gonna tie one on to his chin ouch lol
good video but not the best. reel tension and the brake make a huge difference in distance and the ability to throw an extremely light bait like a weightless zoom trick worm. i can whip my rod as fast and as hard on heavy lures as i can super light baits on my many bait casters because of understanding reel tension and the break system. once someone perfects weight with tension and the break they can cast anything anytime on a bait caster.
brake
Everytime I really try and get it out there I get birds nest. Even with my thumb on the spool. Am I not applying enough pressure? My spool is tight, I tune the reel where the bait drops without backlash. But at that same time I feel like like it doesnt drop as fast as I feel like it should. But if it's not like this then I get birds nest everytime. I cant make any overhand casts either. I'm using a okano reel and power pro braid
Dont whip the rod fast as in dont go from forward of your body to back fast- do that at a medium speed then throw it fast forward. Watch kvd. He isnt whipping it back and then whipping it forward. He is going back at a medium pace then going forward at a fast pace. Hope this helps ya.
@@ashleywynn4923 yeah I actually ended up gettin it
Awesome.
I love how kvd neglected to mention reel settings. Decreasing your breaking system and loosing your spool tension knob = greater casting distance
He must have assumed that you already knew that.
Which increases the chance of backlash (info for newbies).
braking
Try that with a light lure and it will backlash mid air unless you feather the spool first
Apparently Jordan Lee got tired of tying one on...
My right ear would like to tie one on
That hum, though! It's like fishing porn!
Taiwan on 😂
I do well with my short 10 - 20 yrd casts; far more accurate!! X-D
I think i went deaf in my right ear...
I didn't give a thumbs down. Perhaps no one has informed you that you can face away from the camera and throw the lure, weight or whatever so We can see the distance you are getting with what you are teaching. I'm not from MO. but I do like to see. I'm sure you do very well in your line of work. Thanks!
@Gator Jordan Well maybe you should get some thicker skin IF that riled you up. Must be from all that sponsored fishing that all you have to do is show up. All you rich bass fisherman can't take a little corrective criticism. You say, because of your fancy boat, that we are to take your word for the distance you get while casting. I'll have you know I graduated 1st in my class from charm school. They are enrolling next week in your home town for spoiled fisherman. LOL :)
Sounds like ceramics ball bearing
Nice audio
2020 Mono
reel bearings is a big part of it
Ok kevin i thought you were not with quantum?. just lews both?.
He switched to Lew's about two years ago.
Wtf am I deaf this video fucking me up
Where does kvd live.
Kalamazoo
D&R sports baby
He lives in the Kal Baby! Half way up the lower peninsula. Michigan is a great place to fish. I have been to Grand Haven alot. To go smallie fishing. KVD is very well known here in Indianapolis. We follow him all the time. He's like Roland in Florida and Billy in Oklahoma! Keep up the good WORK Kevin! He would give you his favorite rod and reel if he seen you in person. Shawn
Yeah, but what about backlash? Because that’s what happened immediately for me.
adjust your brakes
All about brakes and tension. Put your breaks half way on and adjust your tension knob so that when the bait hits the water from a straight drop there is no backlash. As you get better you can ease off the breaks. Also use your thumb!!!

No such thing as long casts with quantam
I knoooow quantam sucks
They have served him well for years. And if your good u can use anything good. He knows how to make a day good with them so I don't knock them in fact I like em. What do u like
Bullshit. Quantum doesnt suck, some of the best Ive used! Why!?? 🤔 Whats better?
Gotta be better than my silver max..
@@coolaisiankid Hey, Rat! I use a Quantum Pulse Bait caster reel and a Ugly stick medium heavy bait caster rod. Its cheap but its a workhorse for the average joe Bass fisherman. This combo got me two bass in two casts over 5 pound's yesterday. Using a Green Pumpkin Senko Texas rigged. On a very windy day. I set the reel on 9 and tighten the tension a little. Do you think its easy to be on the bass fishing tour. Its not! My Brother - law let me fish with him in South Carolina in some tournaments. Those Good old boy's know how to fish. We did real well using these combo's against them. So I believe you have never used. Quantum reel 's or your just a KVD hater! Which is it? SHAWN
Using Quatum shyte won't get you far, broo.
Dear, Hog! I use Quantum Pulse Bait caster on a 6'6 Ugly Stick medium heavy bait caster rod. This is one hell of a package! Next year moving up to a 7'4 rod and a smoke S3 reel for frogging. So, What's the Beef with Quantum? Ever tried one? SHAWN
