I don't know what I could add to Steve's treatise, he's forgotten more
about fishing and equipment than I'll ever know. I use spinning only now
but I used to use a baitcaster for 1/4 oz. spinnerbaits. I gave it up for
no other reason than it lacked the versatility that I wanted. Believe me,
my spinning tangles are far worse than any backlash I ever had.

The point I wanted to make, though, is to not let it get into your head.
Learn to use your thumb and how to adjust two controls and follow Steve's
advice. BAITCASTING IS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE!!

This enforced me trying the bait caster I was given and just put in my
truck to try today but chickened out.
Past tries I had too many professional overcast.


Here is a bit I wrote a while back on using a bait caster. Its far from
definitive, but there may be something in it you can use.
