The only reason I picked a baitcaster back up, is because of your three video lesson back in the day..... I currently have five baitcasters. Hands down the best instructional videos out there. 👍
Hi Debo, I'm 44 years old. I'm from Germany. I started fishing round about 6 months ago, started baitcasting 2 months ago. It isn't easy to find german YT content about baitcasting. The mass of our fishers use spinning wheels only. Most of baitcasting anglers are newbies too. There's simply noone out there, who's growing up with this kinda stuff. It's sooooooooo helpful to see tutorials like yours right now!!! I guess, many years of experience are very helpful for teaching noobs like me to use gear properly! :D Thx a LOT, man! I appreciate your content more, than you could ever imagine!
Welcome to the DEBO Family of Dink Catchers !! 😄 I’m kinda in the same situation, I live surrounded be water, but I can’t find anyone to help me. Maybe because I tell them I’m 2 months away from 69!!!!!🥲😄😄🥲🤣🥲 Tight lines, Pete
Glad to see you showed the direction the line should come off the spool. I live by line should come off the top of the spool for baitcasters, bottom for spinning reels. Great tips, I use all of them.
I love videos like this. I don’t consider myself an expert nor a novice but I definitely picked up a few good pointers from this. Excellent job my brother! 👊
You are the main reason I love my baitcasters, if it wasn't for you Debo I wouldn't be as educated to the glory of baitcasters, thank you so much dawg!
Papa Debo still taking us to school. Never get tired of watching these how to viDebo’s. Learned how to adjust my first baitcaster watching these videos. Hope we can see more of these, sir!
Tape on the spool that’s such valuable Intel especially for me be a beginner and fishing the River it’ll be easy to let line out. Such an amazing Channel
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.
In the dead of winter one year I ran across a Debo backlash- tip video. Seems like so long ago. But that one tip about there usually being only one lil loop section causing the problem, how to see it and pull it out... that little tip has saved me so many times. And I was certainly no Newbie when I watched the video.
Using using tape to prevent backlashing the entire spool is the best tip. I've had success with the 3M Blue masking tape. Also use tape to hold the tag end to the spool when it's not in use.
Berkley Big Game for beginners. Stuff comes on 1200 yard spools for ten bucks. Has a lot of memory, so every month or so you need to respool, but when you get the hang of casting and want to move to braid, you can use it as a backing to make your braid go further. I literally have had the same backing on one of my reels for four or five years now.
Thats honestly my exact plan. I just picked up 1st baitcastor, after 50yrs almost using spinning reels. So using the cheaper line to practice, then use whats needed for backing and braid !
I'm just starting to get into fishing, you helped me spool my new spinner reel and now im gonna try respooling my Dad's 70's baitcaster. Thanks for all the great advice!
I have never had good luck with p line and don't know why ! I really like power pro or seaguar and few others ... great video , you showed me things I didn't know thanks bro !!
I miss your because it's so informant on all kinds of products and reels I tell my friends about you and I'm looking forward to see you more new videos
Well done instructions. The tape trick definitely works. I recommend using clear Scotch tape on the spool to hold back those disastrous backlashes. I put the tape at half spool when spooling the new line, then at about the 3/4 mark. Last I have the tape with me when I go out and cast the 1st time and cast as far safely as possible. Then I pull of a few yards past where I would ever cast out line and put a piece of tape on each side of the lure. This trick I've used for years and has helped immensely. 🎣
Just about any tape will leave a residue on your line. Take a tip from professional photographers and movie crews and get some gaffers tape. Similar to duct tape, very strong and durable but it will not leave any sticky residue.
I have one of those cheap suction cup base reel spoolers you can get on Amazon. I broke a rod, so I took off the base of the spooler, cut the rod down to about 2.5 feet, and attached the spooler to the rod. Works perfect.
Thanks Debo , I bought first baitcaster a few months ago and have applied your tips to adjust brakes and avoid backlashes and have had pretty good results ( some backlashes , mainly the first week),thanks for sharing :)
I just spooled up a lews lfs with braid, used a couple wraps of Electrical tape to help bed the line and then ran a uni knot and spooled it with hand tension. I hope it works well tomorrow!
If your spool has holes in it like the one you have, you can run the braid through the holes before tying it to the reel and it will prevent it from slipping.
I think my biggest issue is cutting myself short, I always use the line spooling device I have. I forget to add enough on to run the line on the pole. It doesnt feel like a lot when you put 100 yards on a reel. That 7foot plus is more more than you think.
I just got my 2nd baitcaster....and some fluorocarbon line....15lb.... I was going to load it on the new reel.....but since I am not an experienced baitcaster user yet..... I took your advice and stick to mono..... not afraid of using fluoro, but I'd rather have a nice day fishing and not making a frustrating one yet..... I'll practice some more and then I'll load the fluoro...... once agan.....thanks for your time and all the info/tips/secrets.......
Great tip! The shamano SLX is different they have holes just in the middle of the spool. Hard to get line through to the next hole to tie the line on the spool. I figure out just to stick the line in the hole and reel in. It will layer the line on top of one another then pray I don't get spooled by a big fish 😆
🔥🔥Holy crap!!! TAPE! Genius! I have to do this and check it out because I hate when I ruin a whole reel of braid or something else expensive. THANK YOU DEBO! 👍🔥🔥
I use to use a box like you have and then put tape around my pencil until the spool could turn but not freely- but then it would catch and start spinning the whole pencil and turn over the box- your spool goes rolling off down the hall- man it would make me so mad I used to get super frustrated trying to spool my reels. I think the little spooling station I bought- which is just a rod basically that keeps pressure on the spool so it doesn't turn freely- is one of the best accessories I've ever bought- really comes in handy. It also reduced the amount of tangles and issues I have with my reels, gained me a few feet on my casting- it's really helped me out. I honestly just bought it for convenience, the rest was just an unexpected benefit.
ive been fishing for a while and i really want to be a professional and i didnt even know alot of these things thank you for this! wish me the best trying to go pro!
so i switch from braid to monofilament then spooled the bad boy in my baitcaster as how i spooled braid lines into my reel, the usual thing, then long story short, i was out for fishing session yesterday using monofilament, threw my first cast using monofilament, it was a disaster, i saw it birds nesting in my reel in a dramatic slow motion, i went home broken hearted, imma try this, you just shared centuries old knowledge in a matter of 15 minutes, good game well played, sir!
Im a newbie to your site. I just subscribed with watching my fist vid of yours. Been fishing all my life and always had hang ups with baitcasting reels to the throw it in the water/break it over the knee moments lol. I really want to learn a baitcasting reel and all the tricks involved. Yeah the open faced spinning reels are great, but i want to master the baitcasting reel. This first video gave me the confidence to try again!! Excellent video. 👍👍
I consider myself a spooling expert. I came here to pick this video apart. I have to admit, this is dead on. Well done, sir. Dammit, you stopped me! Seriously, very well done! Bravo! 👍👍🍻💯
@@moozy0374 I just didn’t really use it! Shortly after I got it I started getting into Shimano and Daiwa stuff and getting other higher-end rods. I was just using the mach rod at one point and it was kind of heavy so I wanted to sell the combo to get a different rod since I never used the reel.
Honestly if you’re at Cabela’s or Bass Pro buying braid, just ask for the employees to spool the reel using the machine. It’s free of charge and while I can’t speak for every fishing department, but at the Cabela’s I work at,all of the fishing outfitters use the machine for their personal gear, and we take a lot of pride in spooling customer’s reels to the same standards as our own. However, not every fishing department is going to put in as effort as we do. As a general rule though, the smaller locations tend to have fewer staff which means more individual experience on the machine. If you’re not sure just ask if they use the machine for their own stuff.
Oh the dreaded deep back lash been there lol..before i cast i check the fall rate drop the lure to the ground if the line it stops when it hits i'm good to go. Then adjust accordingly!

I must have spooled up my setups over 100 times now and still found this helpful. Thanks man.
I bought my first baitcaster watching your videos DEBO!!!
I brought one too and I ain't know you have to put in threw the lil hole now I'm a pro at it now after looking at this make sure you set your breaks
Older vid yes, but I just got my first baitcaster and who other to come to than Debo to learn to spool! Let's Go!!

It doesn’t matter how many times you spool a bait caster hearing these tips are always good! Once again Debo excellent video 👊🏻👍🏻
Dude. I have learned so much from watching you talk us through things!! Keep it up man!
The tape trick is something i never heard of. Thank you sir.
I have used that forever or at least since I can remember and it works really well.
I use the tape on spinning reel after I I tie my knot it's hold up good and your line be nice now bashlash no bird nest try it
I'm a fishing man I use the tape after I tie my knots it holds in place so it want pop off
I love videos like this. I don’t consider myself an expert nor a novice but I definitely picked up a few good pointers from this. Excellent job my brother! 👊

Thanks for the help!! Going to try and spoil up again tomorrow and hopefully stick to trusting a bait cast the same as my spinning rods!
Great tip with the tape! Electric tape leaves a residue after some time, use blue painters tape 👍🏼
About to get my first bait caster this pointers will help out a lot ! Good video
I'm just starting to get into fishing, you helped me spool my new spinner reel and now im gonna try respooling my Dad's 70's baitcaster. Thanks for all the great advice!
Another great tip video . Thanks for always giving tips
Looking forward to spooling my new reel. Thanks for the tips!
Good tips. Tape trick is new to me! Two nickels are are exactly 1/8 thick for a max line capacity reference.
Just retired relearning how to fish. Thanks for your helpful videos.
Thanks Debo! All your information is greatly appreciated, thanks for taking the time to share.
Definitely helps me out... Kind of new to bait casters
I have never had good luck with p line and don't know why ! I really like power pro or seaguar and few others ... great video , you showed me things I didn't know thanks bro !!
Enjoyed the tips and tricks. Always paranoid I'm doing it wrong. Thanks for the video.
Very helpful! Thank you sir
Thanks for all of the good tips. I'm a beginner and I definitely appreciate your info.
excellent informative video brother ! I like to use a towel to hold the line so I dont burn my fingers with braid !
Thanks, I appreciate your videos
Always informative and fun to watch. Thanks Debo.
I wish I saw this before I got a baitcaster. Thx for the tips
Excellent brother, look forward to the live broadcast!!!!!
I used to work for Shimano, great product5.
I use SLX and Curado, still new to bait caster and love your great videos.
Thanks

Another great evergreen reminder! Debo's da bomb. Hope you enjoy the rod caddy! 😁
Great video, first cast is super important. I always get the line wet for the second cast.
I would add a decent weight lure 3/8-1/2 oz
Great tips Debo. Thanks for the video man. 🎣👍

Would love to see an update on doing backing I’m fairly new but would like to use that method to make a spool of more expensive line last longer 🎣🎣🔥🔥
As always, thanks, debo
What is your thoughts on running the line thru the whole and tie it. Instead of going around the spool. Great information. Congrats on the 100k again.
Very informative thanks bud🍻🥃
Yooo Debo thank you for the tip of using the holes in the spool to bring the line around. That’s genius
Awesome, and very informative
