morning anglers....
just need some advice....
to start on a bait casting reels... abu black max for a beginner is ok right?
Whats your budget bro??
acheong sifoo already gave quite an intensive advices.
bird nest and back lashes is something you need to go thru and be a pro about it when it comes to untangling lines.
But once you know your reel and lures inside out,... always be alert on environment you will have minimal mishaps.
no matter what reel or brand you buying, most importantly is you need to understand the brake and settings.
quick reflex thumb.
everytime you change the lure,.... always test the drop speed and tune the spool tension knob.
Don cast against wind but with the wind instead.. +20% extra distance hehehe
only reason why I still stick with BC reel is because its light and smaller.
Spinning still get better distances and easier with small plugs/lures.
