How to Use a Spinning Reel CORRECTLY 

Thanks everyone for your patience (hopefully haha). I'm finally back and active after recovering the information for this account after many years of detective work. Look forward to more wart free... you guys know what I'm talking about... videos. I'm ecstatic to start sharing my true passion again. Tight lines and stay tuned.

Hey man event though you probably won’t see this, thanks for this. I have a fishing trip with my dad tomorrow and I’ve never fished before because I’ve always been sick as a kid. After watching this video I know more about fishing rods and thanks to you I also get to bond more with my dad tomorrow(hopefully).

*Great reel, **enjoyable.fishing** recommend very smooth and I love that you can change from left hand to right hand so easily. Gave it a 4 on durability because I haven’t had it long enough to rate it. Doing good so far.*

That’s the best video I’ve watched so far I bought my fishing set and didn’t understand how to use this at all until I watched ur video Thanks a lot very clear and precise guidance on how to use the reel on the rod

I'm watching this 20 minutes before going fishing with my boss😅😅😅😅😅

New to the fishing world. I'm 43 years old and just got spinning reel rod combo for my birthday. Awesome Video. Keep up the good work 🎣🎣

It's June 2024 and I'm going fishing for a week this weekend. Thank you for your simple explanation!!

Recently purchased a spinning reel in an effort to get back into fishing with my sons. This video really helped me figure out what I was doing wrong. Thanks for making it!

Thank you! Been forever since I've used mine and this was a great refresher 💯

Two years old but still good info. I will tell my new fishing buddy to watch this. I fish a local city pond here on occasion. Usually if I don't have long to fish I go there because easy and quick access. I have been running into a young man the last few weeks. He was fascinated by my spinning reels. He had never seen one before in person undoubtedly. I asked him about what he used and he said "baitcaster" I said ah you mean spincaster. He very much said "no I mean the open face reel". Sure enough the next week I saw him again and he was using a baitcaster. He wanted to try a spinner but said he was worried he wouldn't be able to can't with it. I said well surely if you can master a baitcaster you can certainly use a spinner. I was wrong. I watched and tried to teach him for an hour. He absolutely couldn't cast it. Even super bird nested it twice. I can't understand at all how he can be a wizard with a baitcaster and completely fail at a spinner. Had a old timer even come over and try to help him. He couldn't be helped. It's just baffling to me that anyone would have trouble with a spinning reel and ace a baitcaster. I guess I take for granted growing up using both.

That was great, just started fishing and was unsure how that switch worked, I have not see it described on any other video I’ve seen, thanks

Thank you. I’m going fishing for first time and your video has helped me.

Thanks for the video. Glad you are back on.

Thanks dude just put together a blowfish gun and bought a spinning reel for it and looked this up good tips and straight to the point.

Been using regular reels all my life. Thanks, now I want to get one.

Great and simple video. Thanks much!

im going fishing first time in my life tomorrow i bought my rod today and i had no idea how to use it, this video helped me a lot to learn how to use a spinning reel, imma come back tmrw and update u if i caught smthn and if i knew how to properly use the rod

Thank you for this video! I just started fishing with my son and I have no idea what I'm doing 😂

clear and precise video, thanks for the education

Thanks man just got a rod like that thank you for your help

Great info- just what I was looking for thx.

Why do I find the whole 🎣 rod mechanism so complicated?

Thank you for the nice video brother.... appreciations from India.

very good tutorial👍

Thanks for this video.

Thank you very much waiting to use it it has been 3 years when I order it

Using thumb to stop line on spool after cast great tip

Great explanation 💯

Number 2 is always more rewarding though

I’m 5 years late, but great tutorial

Thank man I hope you best bro

Hi, both myself and one other have used 3 reels each similar to yours, as beginners. Each reel is set up the same as yours but why is it that both of us end up unable to reel in? The line also gets all looped and twisted. We do manually put the metal clip over the line to reel it in, but neither of us knows what we are doing wrong. 4 fishing trips later with new reels again, it's the same all over again. Also, what is that little rectangle eyelet to be used for, on the rod itself. I used that as the first eyelet but you don't seem to use it? Thanks.

Nice and clear bro...

Thanks for the video bro!

This video was very helpful for me. Love it.

I don't fish very often. I tried using a baitcaster a few years back and never really got good at it. I always got it tangled up. It was too much of a hassle. My friend wants to start fishing and wants me to do some fishing with him. I'll probably get a Zebco33 but would like to try a spinner reel too.

This video was “reel” helpful 😅 but honestly it was I’m going fishing with my sons this weekend and had no idea how to use this

This helped very much

That was not the way I did it yesterday. Now I see why it didn’t work. Lol

2:55 appreciate that little bit of knowledge

Really love it Alex you so Humbel let me know about floating in fishing

Yeah glad you got that that account info man 🎉

Nice a at my very start this video really help me i suscribe

Thank you sir!

This is the kinda reel i learned on, funny thing is im right handed but my dad is a lefty. Didnt realize ive been technically fishing as a lefty all this time cuz thats how i was taught

great video

What fishing reels can you recommend? Let's compare them with our top

Thanks for guiding me

thanks bro!

People don't talk much about the tension on the drag. Is there any kind of optimal tension to use or not?

Where is the lake?? I’m in Covington ga. Do I go into the park?

Hey Alex i have question my G I really wanna know I have a 7 feet Roddy hunter combo and every time I try to use the drag instead of making the noise it reels backwards I just got this and its a spinning reel too Please dude I just need help on this and nice video my g have a bless day

Thank you

Thanks for the lesson . i use to practice with my friends Shakespeare rod but i got my own. A tsunami shock wave 7 ft. I bought it a few days ago.. but because of covid-19 i couldn't go.into the store they had window service. They set up the pole to do fishing on the pier. And i always wondered what the switch was for.. thanks. for the lesson alex .CAN MAKE A VIDEO ON . Hooking up your spinning reel ? And explain about sinkers and floats please

What rod do you have?

Thanks 🙂

What's your fishing rod? Brand and price please?

Appreciate it. 👍🏽

Reely? I had no ideas before!

I was able to figure this all out on my own today. But the one part I didn't figure out he didn't touch on lol. I never figured out how to properly run my line from the reel to the end of the rod that I can reel it back with the handle without it coming off of that bearing that its ran through.

Good video

i just bought 2 spin rods and 1 spin rod that folds in this helped

Thx bro

Why is the line on my roller always go in different direction

thank you

thanks m8

What area in stone mtn is this?

I am new to fishing , i open the drag to minimum and casted , the reel just jumped out of my rod

I’m left handed finnaly

how'd u attach the string to the bail

A problem I’m running into is when I cast out and let’s say I get a fish and begin reeling in, the line gets caught on the metal part of the reel below where it’s supposed to because the reel is bobbing up and down. This is creating tangles, loops, and many naughts. Does anyone know how to prevent this please?

Always used spinning reels as a kid but never learned how to deal with tangling and stuff. Doesn't help in left-handed and haven't fished in 10+ years lol

Can anyone help me my spinning reel is getting tangled at the bottom and idk why and it’s also get tangled every time I reel it in😥

Cannot keep my line from coming loose and ending up under the back of the reel when I cast and start to reel in. . Could somebody please offer what I am doing wrong. Thank you

(In a southern Irish accent) Oh I’ve got, I’ve got, I’ve got a reel, I’ve got a lovely spinning reel.

I've fished for 10 years, and just learned I have held the rod the wrong way....

I’m struggling big time just trying to set my rod up :(

Notch on reel for setting depth. It’s not there for looks.

Alex how do I reel in a spinning reel bc I am a beg I'm new to it

Can I get extra reel from you sir I'm new in fishing sir please I'm also your fallowes every you upload the new videos

You are God of Money

FIRST

با این چوب ماهیگیری که دیدم فکر کنم خود شما هم تازه یاد گرفتی😂😂

- [ ] Your finger should never touch the line. The bail (as mentioned) is down when you open it. Your finger should be touching the edge of the spool to keep it from moving. You release your finger from the spool to control line feed, put you finger back on the spool to stop line feed, very similar to a bait casting reel. Your finger should never touch the line. Try this I think you will like it.

I buy a chip fishing rod cost of $9

Hey dude, you have said too much-- thanks -rookie here🙃

Wtf is a bale I'm.so confused how to I use the reel??????

You are incorrect. The handle should be located on the right side for right handed fisherman. Bait cast, offshore reels all have the crank on the right. Try it... it is much better for control and cranking precision.

If you see a dead body floating, don't eat the fish. LOL. Criminals do that type of shit.

I feel dumb ive been holding it wrong my whole life

Wrong. You should be trapping the line against the spool with your middle finger. Not trapping the line against the handle. You can then use the same finger to brake the line before the lure hits the water. Eliminating any bow in the line. That is how to cast correctly.

What a waste of time, what do you do with your finger and the line when your casting?

Why does he repeat himself so much? Its not like rocket science...
