    Bought a 500 for an ultralight rod. It's very smooth enjoyable.fishing recommend casts great. One odd thing- the bale wire is a bit heavy diameter in my opinion for a reel of this size. But a great purchase.

    Been fishing spinning reels all my life and this never occurred to me.🤦🏻‍♂️ I always closed the bail if I saw I was headed into a tree. B-Lat always teaching me something! 👊

    Sorry for that long message,B-Lat you make me very proud because where I come from in Baltimore city a lot and rather run the streets and get drunk and go crabbing or go out on a charter boat and spend $300 and not catch their own fish they’re trolling shoot and right out of the inner harbor here in Baltimore city it’s unreal but they won’t take you to catch rockfish it’s always catfish and perch
  • Truly love watching these videos. Haven’t fished in over 15 years and starting to enjoy fishing again. ESP with my kids. Of all the YouTube videos on fishing, B Lat videos are the only ones I will watch. I have gone back 3 years of video’s and have gone back to watch them all again today. Truly appreciate everything you do and support what you do. From your boys down at Fort Benning.
  • @firemandan5959
    Thank you 55 years of bass fishing, 35 years of tournament fishing, with almost 10 years as a guide thrown in to that mix on Table rock Lake. This is the first time I have seen this. WOW!!!!
  • What a ridiculously simple idea that I’ve overlooked for years! Great content as usual, thanks!
  • @georgem245
    I have learned so much about everything on your channel then anyone else’s I’m 36 and have been fishing ever since I was able to hold a pole the tips and tricks u talk about definitely make my time on the water more successful and more efficient thank you and keep doing what u do
  • B-Lat, You are correct. I stumbled on this one day in panic as my lure was headed where I did not want it to go and I used the palm of my other hand on the rim of the spool to slow it down. My lure landed where I wanted it to go and it looked like a Money Cast. I was so proud. When I realized what I had done I thought I am going to hang onto that it worked and felt great. I noticed you thumb with both hands on your baitcaster after you switch hands. Real neat. Thank you for your prior video. Very deep.
  • @TheRecon1a
    I almost exclusively use spinning reels and I never thought out the thumb as my break. I just would flip the bail down to stop it. I must practice this technique you speak of. Thanks!
  • @curtevans838
    Thanks for the tip! I've been doing it with my pointer finger underneath the spool but I'm going to try the thumb on top.
  • @willjunkin732
    Great tip. 👍 thanks for taking the time to help us out
  • @aaronsnatic2446
    Very nice tip! I know I have done this from time to time, without being aware of it. I'm going to make a more concerted effort to practice this so I can get more accurate with my spinning reel. Thanks!
  • @garycox6169
    Ur right when u say baitcasters are more precise.i needed this soo much for finesse small worms,throwing up against cattails,precisely with my spinning gear
  • @colev6889
    Thanks for the vid B-Lat and congrats on your newborn baby girl!
  • @1_of_4
    Excellent instructional video. Thank you I have never tried this. Awesomeness.
  • Wow dude. I've been doing this subconsciously since I was 6 or 7 years old and never new the impact I was making on my casts lol. Another awesome video B. Latt!!!
  • Totally agree BLat! The more comfortable you are with your equipment/tools, the more you can focus on technique and fishing. God bless!
  • @cpk2GIRL
    "WORDS YOU AIN'T SUPPOSED TO BE SAYING..." LOL. Real power to truth right there!
  • Yessir! Just like you said, I had been doing this for awhile without even realizing that I was! Very, very effective technique! Great video and keep up the amazing work bro! 💯👊🏽
  • @OJA1965
    The intro was hilarious. I saw a video the other day with a guy that held his line with his index finger on the spool instead of the rod. My fingers aren't long enough, so I am going to try this method. Makes a lot of sense.
