Mik Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Hey Marks Mate the search function on this site really does work. Try searching for your topic (Enter "Baitcaster" into the keyword box & hit search) I bought my first Baitcaster a few months ago & love it, love it love it! I'm sure you'll be delighted with it once you get the hang of it. Feeling generous today so here's a few results from that search I suggested Using A Baitcaster Reel Reel Arm (left Or Right) Threadline Or Overhead Baitcasters, Casting?. PS - Its all about practice!!! Doh! Flattie, you beat me by a few swipes at the keyboard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishyfingers Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Boofhead's EXACTLY right .... it's all about practise. once you've read up on "How To", take your baitcaster and a mixed bag of sinkers out to the park and cast away using different weights at different settings..... took me a while but it works!

Davy Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 sorry to go abit off topic, but with baitcasters, does anyone know if there are other ones that have that little twitch bar thingo other than the daiwa viento? one of my mates were talkin about it, and it sounded quite handy for SP work.

johnno Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Davy yes i am pretty sure the daiwa is the only one with a twitch bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnno Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Stumpy they came out a year ago now what it is. They have a little bar at the front top area on the reel and by pressing it you can get 1/2-1 spool revolution. which using paused pressing your SP can twitch along and dart around. see pm stumpy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
