The Dreaded Bait Caster

Two years ago I used credit card miles to pick up an Abu Garcia bait caster. Bait casters or just 'casters' are the choice of pros. They cast longer than regular spinners and they are more accurate thanks to the ability to control the length of the cast more carefully with your thumb. They're also very difficult to use. I took it out twice and it was a nightmare. Short casts, horribly inaccurate, and nasty birds nests. I traded it to Acky for a regular spinner and went back to placing casts where I wanted them.

But this year and this blog are all about learning how to go from rookie to pro. So with that, I'm going to pick up a low end bait caster and give it another try. I've been reading up and watching videos off YouTube and I'm ready to give it another try. Will post what I learn...

  2. I've had a chance to cast the bait caster a few times and I'm getting the hand of it. See my post, "learning to cast the bait caster"
