But is that the appropriate bass fishing bait where you live? Guarentee
that I can do the same thing with a baitcaster... all the while switching
hands and no thumb.

Why would I want to put 2 pound test on my baitcaster though. It's not
about distance, it's about putting my bait where I need it, using the
right bait at the right time. Nothing else matters...

Putting two pound test on anything and expecting to catch any sizable fish
is just plain crazy... float-n-fly excluded.

Put a full spool light line on a good long spinning rod, with a heavy
bottom weight- and try it one time. 200 feet casts no problem.

Want to go that far heavier line, you say ?? just add weight and keep
the spool topped off.

Lets battle! I'll grab my Scorpion spooled w/ 20lb PowerPro, you get
your contraption and I'll trip trap to whatever bridge you live under
and we can go at it with nice simple 5" Senkos for distance. Accuracy
count yes or no?

I'll put 2 pound test on my Shimano spinning reel, with an ounce
weight- and you'll be waiting for minutes for it to land- and using
binoculars to see where it landed.





maybe on the 3rd cast it may break. But it would still outcast a
baitcaster for distance, the baitcaster using 20 lb. test- that's a
laughable challenge on the baitcaster's part ! He would not have a
chance.

heck, one could outcast him with 6 pound test on a spinning rod just as
easily.
