Default why would anyone bother with a baitcasting reel for freshwater?

whoa- are you saying you can use 8 and 10 pound line on a baitcasting
reel ? I disagree- not very reliably !!


You have no business telling me or anyone else what is or isn't possible
with tackle that you don't use and haven't bothered to master. I used 8
on casting tackle all through the spring for throwing jerkbaits. I use
10 on casting tackle for virtually all light jigging. Hell, I won a
Ranger in a tourney more than 20 years ago and every single fish I
caught in that tourney was caught on 10 pound test line on a casting
rod, throwing a 1/4 oz jig & pig.

You really need to refrain from spouting off about something you know
nothing whatsoever about.
