I would choose a baitcaster, but I can see the case for a spinning rod. I have several nice spinning rods that are great for treble hook baits that would work nicely if I wanted to go that route. Most spinning reels have superior drags. I also find I can get a bait to drop straighter on a spinning reel than a baitcaster since the line comes off a bit easier so I see some advantages. No blade baits I use are light enough for that specific combo though. I would need a medium or medium heavy.
There are pros and cons to both style of rods for this application. Joe chooses a spinning setup because a spinning reel has a much smoother drag system than a casting reel. With the light-wire hooks he was using, a spinning setup gives him the ability to fight the fish without worrying about bending out hooks
I love blade baits and tail spins
Hello! What manufacturer spinning rod is that? Thanks.
That is actually a Daiwa Kage rod in their walleye family, but it makes a great bass rod as well. Thanks for tuning in!
Why fish a blade bait on a spinning rod? Wouldn’t it make more sense to fish it on a crankbait rod (casting)?
Scopers can't cast casting rods
