Reading these posts about People catching Salmon makes me want September to come tomarrow.
Man, I need to get into spinners for the big guys.
My problem is right now I'm using a bait caster, Abu Garcia 5500 for my Salmon/Steelhead fishing, and it's no good at casting light lures. The least I can manage is about 1/2 ounce without running the risk of a bad bird's next.
A good place to start, until your thumb gets good and educated, is the with the bail released when the lure hits the ground the spool only continues for about half a rotation. that way it wont "blow up" and cause a nest when it hits the water if your thumb isn't on the spool fast enough.
remember to re-adjust the brake every lure swap or change in amount of lead while drifting.
