baitcasting

Baitcasting refers to a type of fishing technique where an angler uses a specialized reel mounted on top of a fishing rod. This reel allows for greater control and accuracy when casting heavier lures, making it popular among experienced fishermen. The key feature of baitcasting reels is their ability to handle thicker lines and lure weights, enabling casting over long distances. Anglers can adjust the drag and braking systems to prevent backlash—an entangled line—during casting. Overall, baitcasting requires practice but offers improved precision and performance compared to spinning reels.
