I've always enjoyed using both baitcasting and spinning tackle. On many lakes, both can work well for a variety of different baits. The lake I fish most often is an old quarry lake. The water is very clear, and deep in spots. Years ago, I started fishing this lake with heavier casting gear, and I wasn't doing well catching bass here. At the suggestion of a friend, I started fishing this lake with a spinning rod and lighter line, along with smaller baits. I made this tackle choice out of necessity, trying to improve my catch rates. It's worked out well over the years. Regarding your own tackle, have you chosen your gear out of necessity, or because you prefer one type of tackle over the other? Baitcasting or spinning tackle?
