This video is a response to r/HooksandHaunts who accused me of trolling for claiming that birdnests on a bc (or any kind of reel) are due to user error and that if you dial in a dc reel you will never birdnest. Here is me casting a 1/16 rooster tail with my curado (dialed in) with no thumb needed.
It’s hard to have discussions about baitcast reels because people have incredible bias towards the use of them and the people who use them. Fish how you want, but you don’t need to make ad hominem attacks because people have different opinions. This is a beginner sub, and even if you’re not a beginner, you can still learn from others.

I used the lightweight lure to prove that even underweight baits don’t have to present a problem… so long as you make sure to operate the reel correctly.
I completely agree with this. Everyone freaks out about BCs but you can definitely tune it out for the most part. A hard cast or whipping it can cause it even with the break settings but you really have to whip it, which would still be user error.
People don’t understand that you have two breaks you can use to make it so that it is literally impossible to backlash. Sure you’re not casting far but you go from there.
