Put the brake to full and adjust your spool tension knob (next to the handle) to the point where the lure just barely moves down under its own weight. Make your cast l, nice and easy, force it, and the spool may over spin and bam! Backlash. As the lure is flying through the air, keep control of your spool with your thumb and just b4 the lure hits the water stop the spool... no backlash😀😀. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Thank you, Dave. It takes lots of practice. Before I learned these tricks, birdsnests were a common occurrence. But by doing some of these tricks, I've almost eliminated backlashes. However, once in a while, one will rear its ugly head. Keep practicing, I haven't used a centerpin for float fishing in almost 5 years and have exclusively used my baitcaster.
