Gamec0cks5 Posted June 10, 2010 Posted June 10, 2010 I do weightless t-rigs on my medium spinning rod I do weighted t-rigs with my Citica Quote
Super User SoFlaBassAddict Posted June 10, 2010 Super User Posted June 10, 2010 Both. Depends on the weight and or size of the lure being used. Quote
VABassin'14 Posted June 10, 2010 Posted June 10, 2010 I use spinning reels because I can control them better. Quote
hmongkidBee Posted June 10, 2010 Posted June 10, 2010 I use baitcast as much as possible. I'll only use spinning if I'm downsizing to a really small lure. Quote
Super User Hammer 4 Posted June 10, 2010 Super User Posted June 10, 2010 X 2 Both. Depends on the weight and or size of the lure being used. Quote
Steven Ladner Posted June 10, 2010 Posted June 10, 2010 x3, both, presentation/conditions decides which one. Quote
BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted June 10, 2010 BassResource.com Administrator Posted June 10, 2010 X 2Both. Depends on the weight and or size of the lure being used. x4. You have to be versatile. Quote
RandySBreth Posted June 10, 2010 Posted June 10, 2010 I'll agree with the wise folks above- both. For heavy flippin' it'll be casting gear, but for an 1/8-ounce bullet weight and 4" finesse worm it'll be spinning. Quote
AV8TOR Posted June 10, 2010 Posted June 10, 2010 I have used both but lately use only my baitcaster. Quote
Super User MALTESE FALCON Posted June 10, 2010 Super User Posted June 10, 2010 Baitcaster. I haven't used a spinning rod in three years. Just a preference. Falcon Quote
tholmes Posted June 10, 2010 Posted June 10, 2010 Both. Depends on the weight and or size of the lure being used. X5. Generally, weightless on spinning gear and weighted on baitcasters. Tom Quote
Nice_Bass Posted June 10, 2010 Posted June 10, 2010 Only in heavy wind and throwing weightless do I use a spinning reel. baitcaster for all normal conditions even weightless. Quote
TheHammer84 Posted June 10, 2010 Posted June 10, 2010 Tried both, but my confidence in t-rigs is on a spinning rod so that's all I use for them anymore. Now for flipping/pitching a pegged t-rigged, baitcaster is the only way to go. Quote
adclem Posted June 10, 2010 Posted June 10, 2010 I use both also, but I prefer bait casters. But it really depends on the situation. Later, Quote
Dixon Posted June 10, 2010 Author Posted June 10, 2010 So how light are we talking to use spinning over baitcaster? Like 1/8 to 1/4. Quote
DRhodes Posted June 10, 2010 Posted June 10, 2010 Both. Depends on the weight and or size of the lure being used. X5. Generally, weightless on spinning gear and weighted on baitcasters. Tom X6 Quote
DWG1984 Posted June 10, 2010 Posted June 10, 2010 Any thin 1/8 or under I fish on a spinning rod. Every thing else baitcaster Quote
D4u2s0t Posted June 10, 2010 Posted June 10, 2010 only soft plastics i'll really use on spinning is when they're very light, or maybe a wacky rigged senko type bait, but I mostly use casting setups these days. Quote
Skunked in DR Posted June 10, 2010 Posted June 10, 2010 Unweighted always spinning. Weighted up to 1/4 depends on conditions. Above 1/4 always baitcaster. Quote
Super User SoFlaBassAddict Posted June 11, 2010 Super User Posted June 11, 2010 Any thin 1/8 or under I fish on a spinning rod. Every thing else baitcaster Thats basically where I draw the line. My t-rig rod is rated on the low end at 3/8. I know with a 1/4oz weight + lure + hook I'm easily over the 3/8oz mark. If I'm putting on something smaller than a 1/4oz I'll probably go to my spinning outfit unless it's an 1/8oz weight with a fairly heavy lure. You also have to remember to take wind into account.

tnbassfisher Posted June 11, 2010 Posted June 11, 2010 I like to throw all of my soft plastics on spinning gear. I think it just might be because of my lack of time with the baitcaster in my hand. But I like the leave the baitcaster to cranks, spinnerbaits, jerkbaits, topwater frogs, and other larger lures. Quote
jdw174 Posted June 11, 2010 Posted June 11, 2010 Both. Depends on the weight and or size of the lure being used. I second this nomination 8-) Quote
