Tuning Your Baitcaster to Prevent Birds Nest

In this video demonstration, I show you how to properly tune your bait-caster by making subtle adjustments to the cast control mechanism and the spool tensioner knob located on the right side of the reel. The most common types of brake systems on today's reels usually are magnetic brakes, centrifugal brakes, or pin. By adjusting the brake system you can control the speed of the spools revolution which gives you ultimate control and helps eliminate birds nest AKA backlash. My goal for this video is to help you learn how to master your reel. Adjusting the tensioner will help control the velocity of the lure, ideally, you should be able to free spool your reel and the lure should fall to the ground without backlash. Make adjustments until you reach the desired speed. If you like this video, please give a thumbs up, share, and subscribe.

G D Hey Josh . This was an excellent video . I have a Abu Garcia 7001 and I’ve just started practicing in a field . It’s been great so far , although I did had one small birds nest ,but came out of it ok 😌 Also I’m so glad that finally somebody has explained what the spool tension dial knob and brake dial knob on a reel are for in simple terms , as some people get to technical about them !

@Funkyluv 2 года назад

Thumbs up 👍🏾 thanks for the tips.

@danaparks8812 2 года назад

Some of the baitcasters have braid spooled on them from the store. What I'm wondering is, are all baitcasters braid ready, or is there something to apply to a bare spool that grabs the braid better, like some spinning reels have?

@Ambitious2dream 5 лет назад

Bro I have had a baitcaster for 6 years. Put it down because I couldn't find a videos on how to adjust and stop getting birds nest. FINALLY a step by step explaining. Your the real MVP lol

I feel much more comfortable with this reel now and am looking forward to landing a big one that would've made him proud. Y'all are great!

Its been 14yrs since i have used a baitcasting reel, I just picked up a new one for my 47th birthday, it was just delivered this afternoon while I was at work, I am not kidding here when I say I just got home, spooled it up and I happened to see this tutorial, thanks so much for helping me fine tune my reel, I cant wait to try it out

@Saltyscales 7 лет назад

+lunatic27 062309 Awesome, good luck with the new reel. Glad to help.

@beyondbordersta 6 лет назад

Absolutely awesome tutorial; been fishing for years but yesterday I bought my fist baitcaster and birds-nested every cast. Watched a few other videos but none explained it like you did; now no more extra runoff on my reel! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!

@Saltyscales 6 лет назад

You are welcome Charles, I am glad to help my friend.

@haroldbenny8573 7 лет назад

Great Instructional video. I started with baitcaster sixty years ago with no idea how to use it. Fortunately my great uncle was an old time fisherman. He chuckled a bit and showed me how it worked. The reel cost $2.00, Rod $1.00 and line $0.60. I bought two lures for $1.00 each, a yellow Heddon Sonar and an orange Optic. I immediately lost the Sonar but still have the Optic. Guys, Fishing has changed a bunch over the years. Hope you all have at least Sixty years of great fishing. Teach a kid to fish.

@Saltyscales 7 лет назад

Thank you Harold, i'm glad someone was there to teach you. That is what it's all about.

@strangecrew43 3 года назад

You are a life saver, I got away from fishing at 17, I'm now 41 and for my birthday my buddy got me a Lew's MACH SMASH Baitcaster rod and reel combo and I have fallen in love with fishing again, now with your help I "reely" can't get enough. I'm fishing in my dreams lol. Thank you

@DeuceDomino11 6 лет назад

Thanks for the video. I fished baitcasters as a teenager and switched to spinning reels for the past 20 years or so fishing trout streams and salt water. Now I am getting back into river fishing and need to have the variety of setups including baitcasters. I am too proud to ask someone to teach me this stuff again so this is a big help! Very simple and informative.

Josh, I bought my first Baitcaster rod (Ugly Stik) with a GX2 Shakespeare Reel. I felt like an idiot. I got the rod from Amazon and it had no instructions. So I do what a lot of folks do and searched RU-vid. Thank goodness for your video. I looked at 10 others then found yours. I am by no means good at casting it yet, but I do understand the mechanics. Thank you Very Much....Outstanding Video!!!

@Saltyscales 6 лет назад

No problem Daniel, glad to be of assistance. Get to practicing and it will be a piece of cake!

@jaysirivan8582 6 лет назад

I am new to the bait casting reel, fishing fresh water all my life and slowly getting back into fishing after 10 years absence. This video helped me understand and fine tune my new bait casting reel! Thanks so much. I am now excited to get out there on the water. FYI my first try before this video was a huge birds nest and I wasted brand new line, had to cut out the entire spool

@shawnbeck2303 4 года назад

Attention all fishermen! I am 59 years old. I have never fished with a Bait caster reel. I mean never even looked at One. I am a spin caster with a 2500 reel and a spin Ugly Stick medium heavy. 12 pound test mono and Braided line low vis green. Rattle Traps, Chartruse spinner baits, Senko's in Green Pumpkin color Texas rigged. My friend bought me a Quantum Pulse Bait caster reel and I bought a 6'6 medium heavy Ugly Stick. Today, I put the combo together. Put a Green Pumpkin shammy stick worm Texas rig on. My friend showed me how to adjust magnets and tension and drag. Let the lure drop by gravity! Set the magnets to 7 on the left side and then set the drag. Had a little trouble at first then got better and better and better caught 6 largemouth bass. Still spin tackle and reels have my heart. But,The Baitcaster is the bomb. Buttery smooth. Made the reel back lash so I could learn how to fix them. So, Fishermen get out there and learn how to use a baitcaster rod and reel. Why wait get started today. Watch this guy and set up your reel right. Then learn how to get The bird nest out. You Will Love it. I promise! See you at the lakes! SHAWN

@619highker2 6 лет назад

Got my 1st baitcaster reel, Abu Garcia Revo Toro. My buddy basically explained what you said while I was throwing that baby on a tuna stick. I figured I got it right ready for trip out to the kelp beds. Long story short, I was apart of that 1% that gets the backlash. Luckily I had barely enough cell service that far out and came across your backlash video. Now that I'm home, I've watched this twice already. Gaining more confidence with each view. Thank you for the tips on tuning and getting the birdnest out

@Saltyscales 5 лет назад

619 Highker practice and follow my tips and you will eliminate those birdsnest.

@hardrockminer-50 5 лет назад

I got a bait caster some 30 yrs ago for my birthday. I'd always used spin casters. Tried the baitcaster and put it back in the box. I got it out this year - still looks brand new . Got an expensive medium-heavy rod. Can't throw a lure or bait as any where. Probably trying too light. Got some 1/2 oz sinkers to try. If that isn't working, back in the box...

@biggmike2703 5 лет назад

Awesome video. I bought a bait caster for the 1st time last year. For 40+ years I’ve been a spinning real guy. This thing really had me frustrated. To the point I laid it down and swore it off. Then I ran across this video and wow. Totally get what all the bells and whistles are for on this reel now. Cast like a dream. Thank you for the video.

Been fishing with spinning rods my entire life. Bought my first baitcaster today. Birds nested it so badly the first cast I was back to the spinning rod. Came home and watched this and honestly me liking and subscribing doesn't seem enough for the value I got. Thanks man

@chadhanson3431 4 года назад

I’ve watched your videos so thanks. But you as well as many others don’t do a good job of explaining the nuance of tuning the bait caster and how you STILL NEED TO THUMB IT on the cast. Drove me crazy trying to figure that out. And the braking system was described as being oh so important. BS, it’s the tension adjustment on the right side that fine tunes whether birds nest happens. I had to watch multiple videos multiple times to put it all together.

@carterklein3345 5 лет назад

Great video! I am a very experienced bass angler but for many years I only used a spinning setup. I have started to get into bait casting and have gotten pretty decent at it too, but this video informed me on many things that I did not know about bait casting reels. Keep up the great videos!

@langlerj 7 лет назад

I watched your video before trying my baitcaster. First time EVER attempting to use a baitcaster. Just an inexpensive Abu Garcia I was able to pickup for almost free, so I could learn. Took me about 5 minutes to dial that puppy in for a weightless fluke. Thank you for the instruction! Now I'm ready for Saturday.

@Saltyscales 7 лет назад

You are welcome, if you can throw a weightless fluke you should be able to throw anything.

@eightyechdee7737 6 лет назад

I'm from Minnesota and I grew up with only spinner reels. Mainly to catch northerns etc. Never tried or even handled a baitcast setup. Today, I just bought a Abu Garcia Pro Max baitcast combo from a local shop. The guy who helped me helped me many times before and I trust his word without spending a crazy amount for a beginner. The total was 107 USD (included line and a Booyah frog, which I used on my spinner setups and the northerns just destroy it. Literally) Anyways, the guy gave me a quick tutorial in the store, which kinda of freaked me out a little with all the information about the brake, tension etc. I always fished for northerns but recently I wanted to try bass. Which is a learning curve as well. Need to let the bass take it instead of jerking it like you would hook a northern. So thank you for helping me tune my first baitcast setup! I have the Booyah frog and spent a few minuets dropping and turning knobs and fixing birdies, which I feel comfortable to test it. The guy mentioned I should test it on land first which I think I'll do a few times to get the hang of it. Heard it may take the rest of the summer since I only used spinner reels and need to teach my brain new stuff :) But bass are SO fun to catch. Hear that water break, lilypads fly up. WELL, I'm off to try my luck! Thank you agian!

I'm from the UK and thought I would finally try a baitcaster so got a cheap rod reel combo for £24. Couldn't find much advice on my regular go to RU-vid channels but luckily found your channel! Watched both "how to cast a baitcaster" and this video and set to practice in the back garden (back yard) Haven't had a birds nest yet! Tomorrow will be the first lure casts on the river or maybe canal. Great videos mate!

Getting back into fishing now, been away on a long hiatus, life work etc. But now my son wants to fish, and I’m beck into it. First time out yesterday in years, and my 11 year is the only one who caught anything😂. He caught 2 nice largemouth. This vid is perfect, needed to update myself on bait casters, great vid!!!

Thank u for this video.. i am a beginner in fishing andnim trying to learn to use a bc.. helped alot.. i have a question tho.. when we buy line how much line do we put into tje spool

@Saltyscales 6 лет назад

Fill the spool to where it is just below the beveled area on the spool. If you over fill you will have a terrible time with birds nest.

@kylewoodring3225 6 лет назад

I just have the people in the store spool the line

@SevenChapters 6 лет назад

Kyle Woodring yeah that’s always good. But ya kind if need to teach yourself how to do it.

@jsmiles9136 6 лет назад

Wow I’m a newbie for fishing and everyone made baitcasting look so hard, that it made me not even what to try it but your video answered all my questions and answers about the settings and ways to avoid the birds nest.

@Saltyscales 6 лет назад

Glad to help, never follow the masses. Always verify everything yourself.

@Galaxy1423 6 лет назад

Joshua Taylor what’s a good comb set of baitcasters to get or bands?

@traviswright8929 4 года назад

Great video, keeps it simple and perfectly explained everything I needed to know. I’m a dad that is returning to fishing (been too busy chasing ducks) after a 20 year hiatus because I have too little boys that LOVE IT! I appreciate good gear, and have able to build us a pretty great arsenal of tackle through garage sales and FB marketplace. But the little details of gear adjustments, knots, which line, what colors/times of year, etc...I’m behind the 8-ball in all those departments. And I don’t do ANYTHING halfway....so if we are gonna fish....we are gonna FISH. I want to be successful and teach my boys to enjoy the outdoors. I’ve got plenty of hardcore angler buddies who are willing to help, but RU-vid Videos like this have really help me try to catchup. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

By far the best video.

@Saltyscales 7 лет назад

Thank you, I appreciate that.

@nathanpayette8000 7 лет назад

agreed

@steveesposito2031 7 лет назад

Wow thanks. I just figured out what the hell I did wrong. I Just started 4 weeks ago and my friend at work put on a new bait for me. I messed with the dials and a few days later it was nesting over and over. Now I know. Thanks bro.

@Saltyscales 7 лет назад

Glad I could give some clarification, hope it helps.

@Sam-hj8hy 6 лет назад

When I was a kid learning to use a bait caster we didn't have any brake systems. You have to adjust the spool tension cap just to the point that the spool would just barely turn to let the bait drop. My dad used to stick me out in the yard with a 9/16 nut tied to the end and had me practice casting.

@Saltyscales 6 лет назад

Practice makes perfect, Shimano has a DC reel that is pretty fancy and is supposed to eliminate birdsnest.

@tedeubanks7915 4 года назад

Awesome video Joshua ! Used this to get a group of teens ready for a fathers day fishing trip. Before the vid. had one of the boys get a birds nest just as he hit the spool release to let a bent rod tip straighten up - had not even cast yet. Thanks Again !

@mitchellhelms7238 7 лет назад

I have 2 black maxx and a pflueger casting reels,I can get a few good casts out of them and then they backlash just as many casts as I have good ones I have adjusted to no avail it's driving me nuts

@Saltyscales 7 лет назад

That is interesting, I was going to say you may have a brake issue you but it's on two different reels, I could only equate it to user error. Do you have the cast control turned to the highest setting?

@mitchellhelms7238 7 лет назад

Joshua Taylor I've tried everything with the black maxx it still does it but not as bad the pflueger I tried to get the slack out of spool but no good but I'll keep at it til I get it fixed I'm very determined to get it rite

@huntingwithpride 7 лет назад

Mitchell Helms hey man I know your comments a month old but if this helps two buddies of mine bought that same reel the black Maxx and I never heard nothing about it from them other than problems. With the backlash and the spool mostly. One of them almost got out of using baitcasters altogether thinking he was the problem. His reel before it broke due to age and use I reckon but he bought a new one from a different brand he's still fishing to this day I might would look into maybe buying a new reel I know they both did.

@adamdahlin721 6 лет назад

When you adjust them, turn the brakes all the way down, then adjust the tension til your lure drops at a steady pace, not fast and free, then turn the brakes back up. Your lure should almost stop on it's own when it hits the floor when you let it drop after turning the breaks back up.

@david_n2wheels568 7 лет назад

what pound test line do you recommend?

@Saltyscales 7 лет назад

+David_ øn2wheels really depends on what you are targeting but 10 to 20 in most scenarious.

@Saltyscales 7 лет назад

+Salty Scales also depends on how you are fishing.

@andrepond4470 3 года назад

I love the fact that you got side tracked in this video to try and catch a fish, shows that you're a real angler

@-ShootTheGlass- 5 лет назад

Nice job, I bought a baitcaster 6 months ago and only just now getting the courage to use it again after a mess of a first session. Takes getting used to that’s for sure.

@paintbal789 7 лет назад

the problem i tend to have it with lighter lures. things such as frogs and spinners are easy but small swim baits tend to be much harder for me. any tips?

@Saltyscales 7 лет назад

I'll try and put together a tutorial that should help.

@elongatedmuskellunge9868 7 лет назад

Use a spinning reel

@richardburgee6122 6 лет назад

Spinning reel if really light or really dial it in with the brake. U want the lure to not drop super fast

@ryanadams6180 6 лет назад

There is a specific cast for that go check out flukemaster he has a vid on it

Just got a new baitcaster after over 10 years and I wish I had watched this before I took it out today because my rust was on full display! Thanks for this, dude!

@RobertDNC 3 года назад

Joshua, Thanks for the video,I've been a baitcaster on and off for years. I'm a big time "birdnester " your demonstration has improved my situation!

@Anthony-iv1zf 7 лет назад

Say 🖕to bird nest!

@Saltyscales 7 лет назад

They are not fun, by-product of using the reel I suppose.

@GreatLakesLogger 3 года назад

Thanks a lot man! I started with a spinner, never got it down good, then went and bought a baitcaster. 2 casts, two birds nests, and a lot of wasted line later, I did a quick search to figure out how the bleep to use these things! Thanks a lot for the breakdown!
