    Used spinning reels for a long time but have changed to baitcasters for a number of reasons. Accuracy, space in the boat, casting distance, durability and more fun to use. Haven't had a birds nest that needs scissors in years. Takes a little practice though but once you get the hang of it, it makes fishing so much more fun.

      cast distance isn't farther on baitcasters, this is a myth.

    Spinning reel: more distance, cheap, simple, all round use
    Baitcaster reel: heavy lures, jerks, much more control over the lure during flight. I got my first baitcaster and very soon discovered I can do very precise weird throws. Once your let the finger of your spinning reel, the lure is sort of out of control during flight.

    Thanks for the video, but I've always stopped my lure mid-cast on a spinning rig for accuracy and you can choose stiffer rods if you want more leverage and casting power for heavier lures. I still don't get why people choose baitcasters.

    Thank you for the video! I now know im accurate enough with my spinning reel to not buy another baitcaster. Thought there would be more pros but you take your focus off the damn thing for a second and you best have another reel on you or you'll be sitting there untangling it over and over again.

    Different rods and reels are for different styles of fishing
    Fly rods are for fly lure fishing
    Spinning rods are for spinning lure fishing
    Bait casters are for casting heavy lead anchor weighted baits for Surf fishing, cat fishing in a river with currents and trolling from a boat offshore with a swimming jig lure.They are geared for trolling speeds to get the lure to swim right in the water.
    Spin rods can be casted underhand from a pier or bridge, unlike bait casters.
    Spinning rods are better for casting in windy conditions, unlike bait casters.
    No matter how good you get with a small bait caster on a calm lake you will bird nest when casting in the wind on the coast unless you have a two or three ounce lead weight in the rig.
    Also, a small bass fishing bait caster will get ruined in sandy or dirty conditions.
    Different rods and reels are of different styles of fishing with different lures. The only rod and reel sold for beginners is the closed face Zebco.

    a baitcaster is not only more comfortable, accurate and has more feedback than a spinning rod but also much more fun and rewarding. baitcasters feel like the rod and reel are one piece with only the reel handle being the other because you can simply press a button to release your spool while a spinning rod feels like 3 different things being the rod, bail arm and reel handle all being awkward to use and recast once you upgarde to a baitcaster you never go back

    For the everyday fisherman the baitcaster is king. Its versatile and out performs any spinning reel. The spinning reel is only good for headaches. You get wind knots and if you dont get wind knots the line wraps around the reel seat handle, bail, its a nightmare. I took out my bff and let her cast it while i was fishing my regular rod and after a few casts the line was a mess around the reel and she just gave it up and asked me to never take her fishing again. I should of let her cast my baitcaster. All i would of had to do was put on some brakes and she wouldnt of birdnested

Lately i been severely contemplating about getting a baitcaster. BaitCasters are kinda annoying though but i know damn well if i have a baitcaster set propperly or set the settings Right i dont have to thumb the baitcaster. so im kinda on the fence about baitcasters and i was gonna get 1 at walmart for $30 so for $30 for 1 baitcaster i dont really care.
