Baitcaster Myths (Spinning Reel vs. Baitcaster) - Part 2

Don't get me wrong, I love fishing spinning reels and Baitcasters, but it drives me crazy when people for no apparent reason throw shade on one or the other.

As long as you’re catching fish it don’t really make a shit. If it works it works

[michaelthechefakalilmac]

Bait caster is nice for big cranks top water but spinning reel is by far superior in every other way and so much more versatile

[enonek]

I've always been Spinning Reel guy. Broke down and bought my 1st baitcaster last Summer. Forced me to slow down, caught my biggest bass of the season on a 10in worm.

"They can go kick rocks" easily one of the best quotes, thanks for inspiring us all 😄

I like bait-casters but something about the spinning reel just gets me

[senpai]

I use baitcasters but sometimes I like to use the good old thumb reel it goes so far with any weight I don’t get why people don’t use them they are very easy and your hand don’t get wet from the line on those cold days

ive been using an abu garcia vengeance 7'11 medium heavy and an abu garcia ultramax reel for about 3 years for topwaters and medium-large swimbaits and i respect your choice of rod for this application. keep up the videos i love watching em!
i use a lews xfinity speed stick spinning combo for finesse / trout fishing

[comfortablynumb]

I use both in the saltwater. My spinning rods are more useful and I use them for light jigs and weedless soft plastics, and the baitcasters are good for heavier jigs and other lures. Spinning is better for casting out live bait or cut bait and letting it sit while I cast some kind of artificial.

Got that same little rod and reel, the American hero. Never took the time to learn how to use one but have been progressing, still have a neat here and there but still dig it

[Owen_CM]

I use a spinning reel for frogs and it works the same with maybe a little less distance on a cast, but if I want to cast far out I will just kayak out.

[Braden-lrti]

That lews american hero is my favorite combo i have gotten and definitely worth the price

[jazwraps]

Those 9ft lifetimes are not bad at all for the price. I run a nucanoe pursuit now but Im so stoked i started on one of those and their easy to haul.

[viallij]

They both catch fish. Both great. The only reason I have a baitcaster is because its faster to reel back and cast again. And yeah, it does cast further but in my experience, not by that much if you use your gear right.

[Bulletlaggg]

Had some dude tell me I was using the wrong lure for a lake/ time of year not too long ago. I kid you not, not 2 minutes later as he’s still talking to me I reel in a pretty 1lb bass. I’m sure he was trying to be helpful but goddamn lemme fish what I wanna fish. Idc if it’s wrong. If it works and it’s legal I’ll do it.

It also depends on body position . Sitting in a kayak or a person pontoon, float tube You get less fatigued using bait casters. Spinning rigs in those situations cause you to constantly hold he rod in a more elevated position.. walk-in the super spook with spinning gear is very comfortable when you standing.

[StarCityFAME]

I love baitcasters, but only if I have no obstacles around, like tree branches, etc, because anything at all will make you birdnest if it interrupts your cast. Just an FYI for newbies... be somewhere with zero obstacles around you to be able to launch without worry.

[nathanbrady]

Taking your cast control knobs off is a terrible idea. 1) leaving the spool bearing exposed like that is going to result in dirt getting in it or water rusting it out. 2) the max loosest you want that knob is where you can barely feel the spool move side to side; by discarding the knob all together, you're going to get a lot of side to side play which will reduce your distance, not increase it.

[gazellefreestyle]

Got that same camo lews combo, thing is great, just got a new kastking reel today gonna try it out tomorrow with a spook. Top water only haha tight lines man whooo!

[theAntwon]

I like the feel of a spinning reel. I feel like I get better hooksets with a spinning reel for whatever reason

[LovingIdaho]

I can cast farther with a spinning reel, plus can also do a lot of finesse fishing with it . I have baitcasting reels I also use.
But, I use spinning reels or round baitcasters much more .
