anti-backlash bait casters

[SPAZ1]

Has anyone used one of them and does it work ! The one with the magnetic brake system that is supposed to stop back lash when casting??

Thanks

I by golly have learned the sacred , top secret art of backlashing the very best of reels & hanging up in invisible brush & tree limbs. Took a lot of years but got it down pat!

Work pretty well keep watch on lose line on spool

Just grab a nice bait caster and go out in your yard and cast ey with your thumb on the real.

They do help, but you still gotta learn to use it. Abu Garcia had one that you could not backlash, just had to use heavy lure to get distance.

yep only way to learn is to pratice... then you'll turn all the brakes off...

BTW turn ther baitcaster sideways when you throw and just remember to stop the spool with your thumb as the lure get close to the water.

Like most things....takes practice!

it works if you have it set right to your line/lure/rod setup. they take real fine tuning to cast and not backlash with no thumb on them.


baitcasters take alot of practice, but once you get the hang of them you will find yourself leaving your spinning reels at home at taking them.
