why would anyone bother with a baitcasting reel for freshwater ?

If you think about it, it's actually common sense. A baitcaster reel
has more internal friction than a spinning reel.

Why don't you use your head man? There's a reason all the pros use casting
reels, and it ain't because the manufacturers are twisting their arms. They
could whatever kind of reel was the most popular. Figure out the reason
instead of stating all the time what you "know" about casting reels and how
to fish them.

where the heck you've been hiding ?? wake up and smell the coffee-
quite a few of those "pros" you speak of, are showing up with spinning
and spincasting reels, more and more often. You need to get out more.

I posted a valid question- why use a baitcaster- and a few calm,
knowledgeable people posted very valid info. You posted the literal
equivalent of a backlash.

So? They still use casting gear most often. And according to you, it can't
be done without hopelessly tangling their gear and wasting fishing time. I
wonder why they would do that all day long? Did you hear anyone here say
there is no place for spinning gear among serious bass fishermen?

No you didn't. You keep trolling and you're getting plenty of what you
deserve. You came to argue and trash something you don't understand because
you have very little experience with it.
