I've watched countless instructional videos over the years and this definitely makes my Top 5. Thank you, sir!!
I've got a clue. Anytime you can use a baitcaster, do so!
I love both, but most people hate spinning reels. Heck, I still have a few spincast reels in my arsenal. I think people see a spinning reel as finesse/wimpy and refuse to use them. But I see people all over the world haul up very big and very powerful fish on a basic spinning reel setup with lures or bait. In which case, you can not tell me that it is a wimpy technique compared to catching a 5lb bass.
I still use my round reels on occasion.
Very good thorough explanation of the two reels. Now you have BFS rods and reels. You can fish your finesse baits on light line on baitcasting equipment. It's fun. 😊
With a spinning reel you can use it for any type of freshwater fishing including everything a baitcaster can do. Not so the other way around. The advent of braided line takes away the issue of line twist on spinning reels. You can load that line any way you want and you will never get line twist. Add a leader and there is no reason to load a spinning reel with Fluorocarbon or monofilament line.
Great video Glenn,it couldn’t be explained any better 👏👏❤
Hey Glenn: Thanks for the great info!! From my perspective, I have no use for pitching and flipping with a baitcaster because I always sit on a kayak to fish for bass, (I don't stand on a boat deck).
I’ve yet to find a compelling reason to use a baitcaster.
I didn't use a spinning reel for years. Just couldn't get the knack of casting right handed and retrieving left handed. Always had to put the handle on the right side of the reel to do much good so I just stuck to baitcasters. Finally decided I was going to master the spinning reel and did so. This year I've caught more bass on spinning gear than my casting stuff. Love it!!!
Abu's Rocket spinning reel is crazy fast. 7:1. I purchased one to try, and wow, what a world of difference in speed.
