Why would you use a baitcaster for lures so light?
Just me, but I use spinning rigs for UL fishing. A lot less hassel, casts a lot farther with less effort and gets the job done with a lighter overall weight in rod & reel.
The trick to using a bait caster is to adjust it first for the size/weight of lure that you want to use. tie the desired lure/bait onto the line. then tighten down the knob on the right side of the reel (for a right hand reel) then push the spool realease button and then loosen the knob on the side untill the lure falls slowly towards the ground ,,, do this a few times untill you have it adjusted where when the lure hits the ground (with the rod @ about the 10 oclock position) that the line doesn't backlash (wad up in the spool) when you have it adjusted , then try a few casts while useing your thumb on the spool (as a brake ) to slow down the spool towards the end of the cast. then do it a few thousand times before you go fishin. ps: if you are now not thoroughly confused by now,,, GOOD happy fishing
No. When you don't know how many rods, reels or tackle boxes you own and you describe your gear in terms of tons, not including the antiques and collectibles, then you own a fair amount of gear.and i take 4 rods when i go fishing with different lures. does that mean i have too many lures? ha
ya, thats the main thing ive been doing, i mean i can cast decently far with my baitcaster now, just looking for something to cast lighter things further. i use a spinning rod for shakyhead, drop shot, carolina rig, and some small jigs. just hate cutting line and all that to use a different bait, and i take 4 rods when i go fishing with different lures. does that mean i have too many lures? ha
