This is a series of videos with tips on cleaning/servicing a bait-casting reel.

…Part I

…Part II

…Part III

Here is a short video where I try to explain how to fix a problem I was having with my baitcasting
reel and how I was positioning my hand/fingers on the reel handle.  I was occasionally banging
my index finger knuckle into the reel handle nut when making a hard hookset mainly when fishing
plastic worms or jigs slow on the bottom.  If you have the same problem I did,  this video should help.
If you don’t have this problem, be thankful!!!

We have all heard from our fishing buddies that fish with tube baits how effective they are.  Great news!!!!  How do you fish with them without getting hung up all the time though?  The solution is quite simple!  When fishing with these bad boys,  rig them with a weedless jig head.  How in the world do you get the weed guard inside the tube bait without the weed guard sticking into the sides of the tube bait?  This video will hopefully share a simple trick I learned to do this!!  I think you will be quite amazed how simple the solution is!!  I hope this you will help you to become a better tube bait fisherman.

…. When you kayak fish and you catch that fish of a lifetime, are you able to get a good photo of you and the fish together or do you just photograph the fish by itself?  Well, this has happened to me more times than I remember.  Just a few days ago I was watching some videos on YouTube and found a video made by Florida Kayak Angler guide Robert Duerscheidt that showed me how to build an inexpensive camera mount that would mount into a Scotty Rod Holder base.  I thought it important enough to share with you how I made mine.

For the past couple of years, I have struggled with different ways of rigging swimbaits. Some ways were better than others; until recently, I have not been completely satisfied with any of them. In this video, I will share with you what I have learned. Hopefully, these tips will help increase your catch rate on this awesome bait!!

Have you ever been on the lake or river and been accidentally impaled with a fish hook by your fishing partner, yourself or even a fish when trying to land it?  Well, if you have,  you know it puts you in quite a predicament!   Do you leave immediately for the emergency room at a hospital or doctor’s office to have it removed? It all depends on where the hook is embedded and whether any of those facilities are nearby or accessible.  There are other alternatives.  This video shows one of them. Hope it helps you if this ever happens at a time you least expect it!

This is a collection of tips I would like to share with my Riverbassin™ friends.  These tips are some that I use myself and some are tips that have been passed along to me by friends or others I have fished with over the years.  Hopefully,  you will be able to find some that will help you become a betters fisherman or be successful at the sport we all love so much!  Tight Lines!!

…..Have you ever hit something real hard that was submerged in the river with your kayak and feared you might have gouged or cracked it?  Well this has happened to me more times than I remember!!  So I could keep kayak fishing, I had to learn to repair my kayak myself.  This video will hopefully share what I have learned and help you somewhere down the road to do the same. It could also save you some $$$.
