Which do you use and why?
I've only used spinning reels and am wondering why I should learn to throw a baitcaster. What is the benefit?
I keep hearing that spinning rigs are only for finesse fishing, but in my experience they can handle bigger stuff. I've seen rods rated for up to 1 ounce lures and reels with drags up to 24 pounds. Beats some of the baitcaster stuff.
Having said all that, I have the itch to learn to use a baitcaster rig and will learn. Just want to know why people choose it over spinning rigs.
Thanks guys.
