why would anyone bother with a baitcasting reel for freshwater ?

The man thinks he can outcast a spinning rod, while he uses 20 pound
test. He's mistaken. Even if there was 8 lb. test on the spinning
rig, it would cast further. And you could still haul in a 6 pound
bass. So this is a matter of semantics and a moot point.

LOL, don't discount Harry. I've seen him cast and I wouldn't put it past
him to outcast a spinning rod while using 20 pound line on a baitcast rod.

And, come on up to the Northwoods Classic next month. You can fish with me
using 8 pound test and a spinning rod. I'll fish nothing but my baitcast
equipment. At the end of two days of fishing, we'll see who has more fish
weight landed!

It's not semantics, it's reasonable and responsible angling. Fishing isn't
about who can cast the furthest, it's about hooking and LANDING fish!
