Perfect practice makes perefect. This is what I was taught in the service. I have a quantum catalyst and for the longest could not get it. This past weekend I went to matagorda bay and finally mastered it. I also switched to expensive mono line. If at first you don't succeed try and try agai. Took me two months or so. Lol



I fish in hope of someday catching my biggest fish.

Manchu should not be allowed in the ladies section.... Im just sayin....


my tip would be to practice pitching with a free spool after youve got the basic cast mechanics down. This will dramatically improve your thumb control on the spool.

What I do is this. When I put on a different size weight, the first thing i do is adj. the reel tension so that that when i release the line and let it fall straight down, the line does not over travel the spool. If it does, i will tighten up the tension a little bit more till i get the line to drop straignt down and not cause the line to over runon the spool. This will get you fairly close. I also will put my thump on the spool as soon as the sinker hits the water. If by chance I do get a back lash i will tighten up the reel tension just a little bit more. Finally I will be able to cast my bait out without it backlashing. Beware though when you are casting into the wind. This will cause backlashes also even when you know that normal conditions it would not backlash. Just takes some good ol trial and error casting is all. Anyway, this was how I learned how to cast a baitcaster without getting backlashes.
