viveros1231 Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 Hello everyone,just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Richard, been fishing all my life since I could remember. Love my old man for showing me the sport. I just got into fishing bass. I've used a spinning reel all my life. Till about a couple weeks ago. I got a casting rod for my birthday. And recently bought my first casting reel. Its been rough learning how to use it but I'm getting there lol. Here is a pic of my baby. Phenix Maxim 7'3" MH I love this rod! I did my research on what reel to get and went with the Lews LFS. I'm having a hard time with the reel being right handed. So used to spinning reels and reeling in with my left hand. Well not really a hard time just can't get use to it.. To the point where I want a new left handed reel lol. Still having trouble with birdsnest too. Any tips are appreciated. Hope to learn as much as possible and share as much as I can with my experiences so I can become a better bass fisherman. I'm so addicted to it!!! Thanks for looking! Quote

viveros1231 Posted January 24, 2015 Author Posted January 24, 2015 Thanks everyone!! So does anyone have a left handed reel they want to trade for a right handed Lew's LFS? Lol Quote
Super User gulfcaptain Posted January 24, 2015 Super User Posted January 24, 2015 Welcome, takes time to get used to fishing a baitcaster. Wish I could help with the trade but all mine are just like the one you got. Just keep practicing and it will come. Quote
viveros1231 Posted January 25, 2015 Author Posted January 25, 2015 @gulfcaptain thank you sir. I will keep at it. Got a little frustrating last time I went out. Gonna keep messing with the settings on the reel. Been looking at some you tube videos to get some tips. Gonna try to hit a local lake tomorrow morning since its been in the 80s here in California. Again thanks for the welcomes! I appreciate it.. Quote

Slade House Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 I live in Ventura, and I have a boat tagged for lake casitas, where abouts are you in southern california? what local lake where you speaking of? I only use left handed baitcasters cause casting and then switching hands just seems stupid to me Quote

Super User gulfcaptain Posted January 31, 2015 Super User Posted January 31, 2015 That's a nice local pond, can be tough but it can also be good. Fish there quite often when I'm in town. Maybe I'll run into you some day in person. Quote
