FWIW, I could buy the best rod and reel made on the planet today- and
it would be like pocket change to me. But I have a funny feeling it
would give only slightly better results. These baitcasters obviously
need very heavy lures and line to make them cast with minimal hassle.
I just don't see the advantage in a lake where the biggest fish is a 6
or 8 pound bass. My spinning reel will take that no problem.


.. Hookesets are better IMO, accuracy and distance all improve when I'm using
a baitcaster. I also think I can work baits better with a baitcaster. I can
put baits in places that I'm unable to do with a spinning set up, and
backlash's are limited when you learn to use the tools properly. JMO
