not everything in a creek/river hits topwater

also, baitcasters don't make the noise that spinning reels do
personally, i like the sound, but a lot of people don't

Baitcaster you can flip it, drop it, stop it, slow it, and go under shite. If you can figure out how to throw a small bait, it would be something you should bring solely when fishing freshwater

Correct, and that place depends on the angler.
For me spinning gear is for finesse: wacky, shakey head, drop shot, etc.
I know a few guys that like to throw spinnerbaits and traps on them though.
To each their own I guess, as long as the bass are getting in the boat, I could care less what combo they are caught on.

you can do all of this with a spinning reel
i believe this is explained in Capt. Chris's video, if not, trust me

Now i could get on board with that application.

Another unmentioned is how a spinning reel fricks up how nice and neatly stacked and untangled my rod box is.

And throwing a loop.....

I just got back into fishing pretty hardcore for the past 5 years or so. I have exclusively used a spinning reel for fresh and salt. I used a bait caster when I was younger, but when I got back into fishing, it was mainly saltwater, so I bought a couple spinning rigs. I have actually gotten to be really accurate with them. Even my hardcore bass fishing buddy was impressed with my accuracy. That being said, as I start to fish fresh more regularly, I am about to get the new Shimano Curado. Heard nothing but good things about them and I figured I would start with that one. One of the drawbacks to a spinning reel is line memory. I have avoided this lately by going exclusively to braid on most my rigs just to avoid it, but I want to get away from that. I am sure accuracy will be better with a baitcaster once I get back in the groove with it. I can tell you that I make some really stupid casts with my spinning reels and never get a birds nest. I'm talking about skipping, behind the back, over the top, alley-oop kind of casting. I guess I will need to get smarter about my casts anyway.
I was talking to a kayak snob a while back and he was dogging my spinning setup and my Ascend yak. The next week I caught a 7# bass with my spinning combo and my Ascend yak. He was pretty quiet after that.
That being said, like someone mentioned earlier, I don't care what people use to fish. I also don't care for people that genuinely think others are less of a sportsman who do not use bait casters. I know most of it is in good fun.
Moral of the story....this post was too damn long.
