I have a pimped (super-tuned) Pixy on a Megabass F0-60X Elese
(1/16-1/2oz, 2-12# line) with 4# Yozuri Soft spooled and it will cast a
1/8oz Rat-L-Trap well over 100'. I have an identical pimped Pixy (with
a drag upgrade coming + the super-tuning done to it's twin) on the
Megabass F7-711X Seven-Eleven (Fast, ¼-2 oz., 10-30lbs.) Telescopic with
20# PowerPro braid spooled. This thing is a pitchin' and flippin'
monster. I find that some baitcasters cast light weights better than
others but IMHO, distance isn't a big factor in the decision to go with
a spinner until you get down to 1/16-1/32oz. My spinning gear is all UL
and only gets used for panfish. OMT, I only tried shootin' docks one
time with a baitcaster. :-)

I'm getting the notion the reel industry is doing a lot of bs-ing to
sell bait casters.

skeptic bordering on cynic...
