I need some help throwing crankbaits on a bait caster, I either birds nest every time or have to tighten it down so much I can't get any distance. I'm using the following:
Lew's Classic Pro Speed Spool SLP (Cheap $60 reel)
Dobyn's Fury 7' Crankbait Rod
12Lb Yo Zuri Top Knot
3/8oz 2 3/4in Crankbait
I have experience throwing Texas rigs on a nicer Daiwa casting reel and stiffer extra fast rod and rarely have an issue. Should I be throwing this bait on a spinning reel? Did I maybe overspool it? Am I just casting wrong with the softer rod?
