i did a double "WTH?" I reared back to cast and hooked another rod of the deck. Backlashed the hell out of one of my Lews reels while hooking and CASTING one of my Steez combos into the water. So, while I had a HUGE nest to try and fix, it had to wait until I dug my Steez Frog combo out of the slushy mossy weedy water! That one cast could have cost my $1000. Not counting line. Lol. At that exact moment, I just loaded the rods back into the box and went home.

That's what is referred to as a professional over run.

Think maybe this is where fishermen get the reputation of 'stretching' things a bit?? If your a bass fisherman and use a bait casting rig, have to have seen this MANY times.. Thanks for sharing , I've never seen one.

I didn't do it very much at all in my latter years and it was usually something like this that caused it. My most memorable one was; in my younger years, trying to throw my first Mann's 20+ on a rod that wasn't even close to being designed to do that. A 5.5 foot Berkley Lightning Rod, pistol grip in heavy action. I slapped myself it the back and wound up wearing that crankbait to the house and my dad had to remove it. The back lash was just about as bad if not worse.....its a lot of fun to load a rig and drive about 10 miles with a crankbait buried up in your back................

Heres the most important part #1 Set your drag so that your lure "slowly" falls to the ground when you let your line out. #2 now when you cast it should be like a closed dace reel and no back lash. #3 Just before the lure hits the water put your thumb lightly on the spool to slow the lure down then come to a complete stop. Setting your spool tension knob is the most important part. Remember you want to set it so your lure will slowly fall to the ground when letting line out before cast.
