Latest backlash pics thread

[Largemouth21]

Fishing by casting a light jitterbug into the wind is a sure recipie for backlashes, unfortunately I didn't take any pictures of the multiple backlashes I did get, share pictures of your bad ones, I know everyone has one

[GrumpyOlPhartte]

I'd love to share a pic of my worst backlash, but I'm still cutting my cell phone out of the tangle.

This is from a couple months ago, lure didnt get over and hit the railing right in front of me at a dam. I got a worse one last night wading in a river, lure hit a tree next to me and I spent the next 20 minutes working it out

Thank God I learned the reel down on a backlash trick before I seriously started using my baitcaster! I'm still getting them, not at the end of the cast but during, like in the middle of the flight time. Most of the time it just puffs up the line, once in a while it actually catches. Hopefully I can post a picture this weekend, or hopefully not

Backlash...............I NEVER get BACKLASH...........unless I'm fishing..LOL

In the guide business, we refer to them as "Professional Overruns"

I can't say I've ever taken a photo of a backlash... But I had a doozy fishing on the 4th. I was throwing a squarebill around some fallen trees in the water. I made a cast parallel to a tree and my lure landed directly on top of the wood and of course those Owner Stinger hooks stuck to the wood. I started popping my rod trying to get those hooks to pop off. While doing this, I accidentally hit the clutch release on the reel and my reel just blew up... I had to cut it out and respool.

I don't take pictures of my backlashes.  I'd rather not remember all of the hours spent digging out tangled line.

Kudos to your wife for getting that out. I wouldn't have even tried,  lol

[Leftymuk]

I don't take pics either, BUT we are living in a generation where some people can't eat dinner without taking a picture and posting it somewhere, so I figured some people might have some good ones we could all cringe at.

that's what I thought

[NiX]

Wow, these backlashes are horrible... I hardly get any backlashes that look like some of these pics and I run close to a free spool and low as I can go on my brakes!

 

When I do get a backlash its usually not that bad to get out haha. My most recent I was fishing under a low hanging tree ( from the bank ) and went to cast but I hit the tree above me.

 

Next time I will take a pic of my backlash!

What happens when you snag your fishing partners lure on your back cast.   I think this is the only backlash I've ever had to cut completely out.

[Leftymuk]

Wow........now that's a NEST

That's a beauty!

I'm waiting for "Fluffy" to post in this thread. LOL. 

[GrumpyOlPhartte]

@TOXIC: I've never, ever had a professional overrun!!!! But I've had amateur random unintentional line convulsions that would make ya gasp!

[OkobojiEagle]

Guys... there's this piece of fishing equipment called a spinning reel.  It's pretty good at preventing those over-runs.

This is when I pack up and go home!

I've had 2 monster backlashes in the last week. Cut out the 1st & set the reel aside since it's time to be serviced. 

 

Then, spooled a new Lews with 12 lb Invizx & headed to neighborhood pond to get the reel dialed in. About an hr into fishing a crank, I hit an overhanging tree branch. Back home to cut it all out & respool again. That was about $18 worth of line gone pretty quick. 

 

Some days are like that. ?

[david in va]

just wondering, do yawl thumb the real any?

[LxVE Bassin]

I average 3 backlashes an outing lol

[XpressJeff]

My granddaughter got one on a BPS spinning reel the other day so bad I had to pull the spool off and cut the line cause it was so badly wrapped around the shaft.
