Gone Fishin’!

A set of reels recorded in Matt Molloy’s Pub, Westport, County Mayo. I love these sessions “music to bring any man to his senses.” This is the type of music I want ringing in my ears after a few pints. Amongst the musicians is the Rev.Gary Hastings from Belfast.

I know that it’s a feature found on some bait casting reels but I’m unsure of its meaning or purpose.

The level wind is a small loop that the line passes through as it is wound onto the reel, as you wind in the line it moves back and forth across the face of the reel ensuring that the line is wound onto the reel in a uniform and level manner.
Most seasoned fishermen remove this feature as in casting it actually slows down the rate at which the line leaves the reel and therefore cuts down on distance, that being said, it is a great addition to have when fishing at night or spinning.

I see whenever people are bass fishing on t.v. they always use baitcasters are they the best bass reel or can I keep using my spinning combo?

Actually, Pro fishermen all carry spinning outfit’s in their boats. Most use them for lighter tackle situations.

Once you master a baitcasting outfit it will offer you MUCH more control & accuracy in casting than a spinning outfit. However, it takes time to learn…….

Baitcasting Pro’s and Cons?

Pro’s-

1. NO LINE TWIST- Even the BEST spinning reel will twist your line causing snarls and loops. Because baitcaster’s are essentially just a "winch" they don’t create loops in your line.

2. Larger diameter line- You can use heavier lines easier with a baitcaster. Heavier Mono lines (with higher diameter) floats higher in the water column, (due to "drag") than any other line. This can be esp good for a variety of Bass fishing techniques including Topwater fishing, larger Swimbait fishing, large Soft Plastic fishing, Spinnerbait’s, Etc.

Because of this, being able to use (say) 14-17LB Mono line can completely change the "depth dynamic" of a larger lure over 3/8-3/4 OZ.

If you tried spooling 14-17LB Mono reel on a small freshwater spinning outfit it would not work.

3. Heavier Action Rods- Baitcasting outfit’s can be VERY stout, (compared to spinning outfit’s). And there are tried & true Bass fishing techniques that require a heavier action rod, (such as "Flippin & Pitchin"). Trying to find a spinning rod with enough backbone to do certain Bass fishing techniques can be tough.

4. Control and accuracy- Like I said above- Once you master a baitcaster you can cast VERY accurately to structure.

Baitcasting Cons-

1. Mastering Baitcasting- Learning how to successfully use a baitcaster is not a 1 day affair. You will have to practice and practice before you get even close to mastering…..

Most people who start baitcasting tend to quit because they have no patience. If you make the effort and practice, you will slowly realize how important baitcasting is to Bass fishing…..

2. Light lures and lines- Baitcaster’s are designed to cast lure weight’s from 1/4 OZ and UP. Anything under 1/4 OZ is best left for lighter line and a spinning outfit. Also, baitcaster’s tend to perform BEST when using line diameter’s from 10-17LB , (and UP).

3. The famous Birds Nest- Yes, you will experience one of these. And YES it stinks. But, as you improve your casting skill they happen less and less. And in my opinion, a Birds Nest is STILL not half as bad as a spinning reel snarl! (lol)

Hope this helps? Good fishing.

everytime i go out to sea with my fihing rods the reels get saltwater on them and the next day they are completely stiff and i can’t seem to get them working right again. please help!

Always – Always wash your reels in FRESH water as soon as you return from the coast and do it as soon as you can . Do it at the coast if at all possible and don`t forget the rod either. Wash any metal parts and your rod guides as well. I use a mild liquid hand soap and a rag. Really rinse them well ,use plenty of freshwater and apply a light coat of machine oil over the surface. If you are familiar with your equipment take the reel apart and clean thoroughly every time you visit the coast. This is not an option. Thy have to be cleaned if you want to keep them in working order.Saltwater will destroy them if you don`t.

From the Senior Céilí Bands competition at Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann 2007, two reels from the Innisfree Céilí Band of Sligo, who took second place (having taken 3rd place in 2006). The reels are: “Fergal O’Gara” and “Trim the Velvet”.

Members of the Innisfree Céilí Band are Oisín and Cormac Mac Diarmada and Damien O’Brien on fiddles, Damien Stenson, Máire Nic Dhiarmada and David Sheridan on flutes, Paul Finn on button accordion, Oliver Loughlin on piano accordion, Darraigh Kelly on drums and Charles O’Connor on piano.

It can be offensively, pitching, or defensively. Reed Johnson and Sam Fuld seem to make a diving catch or bang into the wall every day. Who on your team seems to always make the highlight reel?

Only players that make ESPN every time they do something good is Grady Sizemore…

and that’s it.

I love these kinds of reels myself, but 70% of them jam up inside the reel if you haven’t cast them in the last 5 minutes. What you think happens inside the reel that makes it jam up? And no, don’t say "Try spinning reels and baitcasting reels they are so much better" because I have used both of them.

Are you using a snap swivel??? I bet your not or your using cheap ones the line is getting twisted on the retrieve.use a good snap swivel to attach riggs and lures will reduce line twist which leads to birds nests. all reels are prone to twisting up for different reasons

Anywhere close to Macomb county in Michigan? If I have to, I’ll drive a litter further.

you can find stores or sites that will do it but it’s very expensive.

your best bet is to buy a dvd recorder and adapter or editor and do it yourself.
