Anyone who is new to fishing, skip this video and find another one. You will waste a lot of time if you miss one of the things he leaves out. I twisted my line putting it on my rod because he didn't mention anything about it.
I assume the spool of line was lying flat on the table so coming in similar way to way wound on reel could of shown that as sure some people have wound line on with spool spinning on a shaft ie spool spinning vertically which would incur more twists
So, can you provide a video that demonstrates how to switch the retrieve handle of the reel from right hand retrieve to a left hand retrieve on a Synergy TI 10 reel please?
I spooled it with 8 LB test mono for lighter lures, gave it some practice casts and found that it did cast well ru-vid.comUgkxSlytCJqozTF7EbdP4LWP-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.
very bad video. I tried several times following instructions, but no luck. The loop around the reel did not tighten. Then I finally grabbed both ends of the line - the short end and the uncut end, and pulled it tight. Only then did it work.
You skipped a bit at the first stage . You showed how to tie the slip knot but did not show how the line is supposed to look when you close the bale ? When I start to spool the line it gets twisted around the reel and bale .
What did I miss? At 2:10 Casey speaks about the line coming off in the direction that "we talked about earlier". Earlier when, and what direction? Clockwise? Counter-clockwise?
*Nice and slick **allabout.wiki/fmrf** Came with the red line and an extra spool with line on it. I have no idea what weight the line is but it cast light weight lures a good 25 to 35 feet and never once tangled the line. Good bye to my open faced reel. Wen to Bull Shoals Arkansas for a week of fishing.*
I have a Shakespeare Synergy reel with a plastic thumb button that broke. The reel seems really well built except for the plastic thumb button design flaw. I tried looking on the parts replacement list of Shakespeare but couldn’t find a match. Is there a better aftermarket thumb button? Right now I have it held together with hot glue.
Never did this before. Watched video three times and still couldn't get the reel to actually spin the line onto the reel. You never mentioned the ring thing that you click back. Figured it out myself. Why not mention this crucial bit?
*I like the drag, size, weight, line capacity and durability>>>**allabout.wiki/cw90** I have 3 Penn Battles 6000's and 1 Penn Clash 6000. Never had any issues. I have caught Blue Fin, Dorado, 6 plus foot Thresher Sharks and Mako on the Battle 6000. Its my go to reel. I have several other popular brand reels also and they work fine, but I always find myself grabbing a rod with the Penn reel on it. I looking on Amazon now for another reel. I'm leaning towards the Penn Slammer maybe 5000 this time for no specific reason other than I want to try another reel from Penn.*
Hi there I have a Shakespeare ugly stik gx2 it's fantastic for them using it for can't complain but I am now looking for one of your fishing rods perhaps like a little bit on the rigid side just to cast out a little bit further
What does "...come back and clip your tag in/end" mean? Is it anything along the lines of cut off the extra line? And there was no earlier mention of which way the spool is supposed to unwind.
just got the ugly stik elite baitcaster combo, great combo for trout. just seem to have birdnest issues, used to spinning reels and try to cast as if I am casting a spinning reel.
Great video, gonna be respooling my son's reel tonight actually, he's been using my old reel that came off a Dawia Samurai I bought to put a baitcaster on. That reel is junk! Every 4th cast, the cover falls off, and I'm left cutting the line and redoing all of it. Dawia makes some nice rods, some decent spinning reels, but there spin cast I do not recommend!
