What is "baitcasting"?
Baitcasting is a fishing technique that uses a special type of reel, which is mounted on top of a rod. The reel allows the fisherman to cast a baited hook or lure with greater accuracy and distance. In baitcasting, the line is released by pressing a button or lever on the reel, and the fisherman controls the spool to prevent tangles, known as backlash. This method is often used for catching larger fish in both freshwater and saltwater, such as bass or pike. Baitcasting requires skill in casting and managing the reel to avoid problems while fishing.
Examples
