One of the most frequently asked questions of veteran bass anglers is “Should I use a spinning reel or a baitcaster for bass fishing.
While this is most often asked by beginners, it is also a fairly asked question by fishers merely looking to enter the bass fishing arena.
In fact, I myself pondered this question after having used spinning reels all my life. Just what might I gain by trying a baitcaster… and should I even try one.
The question really needs a much longer article to get into all the pros and cons – but you are probably looking for some quick recommendations for right now.
We are working on the full-length version as I write this – so, please be patient… it’s coming.
I belive the spinning reel is the easiest to use and causes fewer problems. And it can catch bass like nobody’s business.
That said, baitcasting reels have such a loyal following and have such tremendous use in tournaments, they should definitely be considered… and even tried.
But, they are a little trickier to use.
Okaaaay, that’s the really short version. Like I say, a detailed report is coming soon… to a therater near you.
