HELP kastking bird nest UP DATE

Does it do it even when you slow your throwing motion forward at the beginning?

I must be odd cause I eleven try mono, never mind flouro on a baitcaster.

 

Lots of fibers or nothing!

 

It's easier to get out when I do manage a stupid moment or 2!

 Well, I ordered some 40 & 50  lb braid and will post back as so as I get it . I will use this reel come hell or high water

That's the spirit. If you give up you won't ever master it. Persistence and practice along with willingness to listen to more experienced users will get you there. 

Personally I've never used a Kastking but all the tips to help sound like good advice no matter what brand. 

Good luck

I didn't see this mentioned, but with lighter pound line like 20# you need to back off the drag a little or when you set the hook the thin diameter line will dig into itself. This is a guaranteed backlash every time, 20# will dig into itself easy. I would not recommend lighter than 30# braid on a bait casting reel.

Yes it does, I have put it up until my braid gets here

i used mine for pitching till i got real good. i had to tighten down the breaks and the tension to fine tune to my kinda of handling then i would light cast nothing arm breaking or extensive. when you get it down the reel and rod do all the work,

 

practice practice  practice makes close to perfect. 

 

use a 1/4 oz drop weight  and go from there 

 

 

tight lines

 What a difference 50 # braid made, I am down to 5 on the break dial and NO BACK LASH what so ever I am pleased with the real. Now what do I need 50# line and a bait caster for? Yawl pros tell me please as some of you know I am an old close face fisherman.

Thanks David

Not much you need 50# braid for, but it can be used for a lot.  Throwing into weeds and lily pads, jigs and I was watching a show today were they were using 50# braid fishing buzzbaits.  I don't use much braid so I'm sure others here could be more helpful.  Some use braid for everything although I doubt 50# is on every reel.

I just bought the cast King Speed Demon and I am also spooling it with 50 pound braid I'd like to use the 50 pound braid for frogging flipping pitching.

When you use your new reel and you switch from say a three quarter ounce jig to a hollow body frog make sure you adjust your reel tension, what you will want to do is start your bait at the tip of your rod with your real tension tight so your bait won't fall then loosen your real tension until  your bait Falls when your bait hits the ground your spool should  stop and then you can adjust the tension as you get more comfortable to get better performance on your cast

It's not so much for the break strength that you need 50# braid, but as you already found out, it's for the handling. 50# braid is closer to the diameter mono that performs best on a baitcaster. You can surely fish 20# braid on a baitcaster, I do because it cast a mile with a WTD bait or 90 Plopper, but it also backlash much, much easier.
