  I love my Penn spinning reels. Super versatile, bombproof, and budget-friendly.

  One of the best parts of a fishing trip is the meal afterwards... Being out all day or night and preparing your harvest at the end of the trip... It can&apos;t be beat !!! Just so fresh and delicious...

  Using a rod with a short butt and a conventional reel will increase ease of casting and distance. Thanks for good vids

  Brandon, if you wrap your left thumb at the first knuckle with some flexible tape, you won’t need to fingers to guide your line back onto the conventional reel, the tape will protect your thumb from line cut and you can just move your thumb back and forth over the reel

  Nice, commenting at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78WIL6aDXcM&amp;t=585">9:45</a>, both reel types have their own advantages, for the conventional try getting a rod where the reel anchors to the lower end of the rod. &nbsp;Then the thumb braking and control you do on the inside/top side of the spool and not on the line. &nbsp;Then make a light fake cast and when you bring it back then you send it. &nbsp;Holding the rod with reel tilted at no more than 90 degrees on it&apos;s side at the &nbsp;point of casting bringing it to horizontal after despatching payload. &nbsp;Then if stuck in rocks/kelp always wrap line around rod and don&apos;t put tension on spool or drag system and slowly start moving backwards. &nbsp;Don&apos;t use spool bearing nuts as a braking system. &nbsp;Always ensure that spool release is on release when casting with a conventional real, because the amount of power you exert when casting is going to &nbsp;dislodge the rod and reel from your grip to cast out of your hands. &nbsp;A costly disaster if you are casting on a hard surface like rocks. &nbsp;When you practice start slow, go for release, line tension control ,accuracy and mastering of the cast. &nbsp;Then comes power and distance. &nbsp;More distance can be achieved by releasing some more line when one brings the rod back from the fake cast with intent, like /as one does with flyfishing adding a meter or two when casting. &nbsp;The latter requires that one has mastered the reel and casting with it. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78WIL6aDXcM&amp;t=938">15:38</a> Waist rod holders, and casting with the conventional reel is going to test your knots, line and your temperament. &nbsp;I would recommend a +/- 12 kg line, leader of your choice or required, a lighter sinker/weight line, so if it is stuck and you have hooked a fish, let the weight&apos;s line be the part that breaks. &nbsp;Then swivels, don&apos;t use tri just normal. &nbsp;Hook and main line to the top loop and weight line too bottom. &nbsp;The sliding rig you have shown in the past is also effective on sand /surf. &nbsp;On reefs less is more effective. &nbsp;Can you cast spinning rigs with conventional, yes, but not very light ones.
