There are only 2 ways that i know how to cast a surface iron from a convention reel without birds nesting the line.

1. Learn how to cast through good instruction, practice, and trial and error.

2. Buy an Avet Reel with Magic Cast.

..

look at getting a Diawa Sealine 40HA there really inexpensive you can pick one up from joey at squidco for a 105 bucks and there vary easy to cast, but like the guy said above just get some good instruction and go to the park or bay and just stand out there and practice casting and remember its a lob you dont have to wing it out there a mile! and keep your finger on the spool a little bit and you'll do just fine!

good luck out there and tight lines!!

I use a spinning reel, just get the largest one they have at walmart under $40. I have good luck with it 2 YT so far this season and it has never had a bird nest. On the other hand I would rather fight a big fish on the avet or penn conventional reel.

Watch the video above and listen very well to what Jim is saying about rolling the reel over while casting. It's a very easy thing to learn and believe me it will help you avoid the birds nests.
