Spinning reel or baitcasting reel. It is an old arugment among anglers. Capt. Chris Myers explains the differences between the two kinds of reels and explains which type you may want to select for fishing in both fresh and salt water. This opinions are based on years of personal obersavtions on the water. The arguments in this video are open to friendly debate but have never been broken. There is only one kind of reel that can do all kinds of fishing from the tiniest of fish to the biggest giants of the sea.

Spinning is a necessary evil. They cause me almost more stress than they are worth.

Age old argument. The fact is they both have their place. For instance...women, children and girly men are far better off using a spinning reel.

I'm really sorry about your vagina.

this video makes me sad. it really is a shame that some didn't have their fathers around to teach them to use a baitcaster.

He went so far as saying mono is useless, and use braided line only.
The thing with him is, he is obviously a guide. He sees people who haven't ever fished before in their lives. Moral of the story is that you have more control with a Baitcaster when you're casting anywhere from the 3 o'clock to 9 o'clock position and anything under that 180° line. If you know what you're doing, you have much more control with a baitcaster than a spinning reel.
He has a pretty biased opinion from being a guide/capt. Saltwater has no obstructions the majority of the time. Freshwater is totally different
Eta: I personally wouldn't use a baitcaster for lighter baits, but know a few people that can do it well. They are all tournament anglers though

LOL
95 % of the freshwater bass fishing I do, it is critical that i have a bait caster in my hand.
Such Control.
So accuracy.

this is entirely too presentation/bait dependent
I use both pretty regularly

In all fairness...though I primarily fish with bait casting reels, I do have a couple of spinning reels....I think we all do. frick, as long as I/we are catching fishing, I could give a frick about whats being used.

I bought a spinning reel with a 6'10 M rod, spooled with 15#PP/12#Fluoro leader.
I just cant get myself to like it. It does come in to play when the wind is blowing at me and when throwing light baits, otherwise I do not like the lack of accuracy.
I dont like it for fishing banklines where I am trying to hit a certain spot, but if I am fishing a wide open mossbed where accuracy is not a concern, it serves its purpose.
If I cant make myself like it after this year I will probably unload it.

I keep baits I want to throw in front of a fish's face on baitcasters. Or if I'm in a shorter casting situation such as working a bank that's close to me. I can control distance so much better with a baitcaster.
If I'm fan casting a big pond, or the fish seem to be spooked easily and I need to make long casts, I pull out my spinning reels with 30# braid. I can cast further than I'll ever need to with that set up.

I throw spinning almost exclusively. I have won tournaments with it.
I can throw a bait caster just rather fish witha spinning reel. I fish almost every weekend fresh or sl saltwater and usually catch as good as or better than others I fish with.
Could care less if it threatens someone's manhood that I choose to fish something other than they do.
Fishing is about fun , fish with what you have fun with.
Most of these bad asses talking shite probably can't fish.
I'll be at Indian creek Saturday and Toledo the next weekend then from April 11-18.
I'll be glad to fish against anyone and see what happens ...

I will admit to buying spinning reels here lately. I've got both, and still probably go baitcast 75% of the time, but nothing gives me more pleasure than to pull into a duck pond, wind howling, and I'm humming that gold spoon (or redfish magic) from Bayou Thomas to Chalmette while the other dudes in the boat are jacking with backlashes (professional overruns).
