wnybassman Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 Spinning Or Bait Casting Reel For Drop Shotting??? Yes. 1 Quote
Super User kickerfish1 Posted August 29, 2013 Super User Posted August 29, 2013 Spinning. It is much easier to let out line to get the bait "down there". It is also much more cost effective than true finesse casting reels. Lastly the drags on spinning reels seem to prtotect light line situations better from pulling the hooks out or losing fish. Sure it is fun to try it on casting gear but even with some of the better finesse pairings I still prefer spinning gear. Quote

Arv Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 I've used both. I prefer spinning as well for reasons mentioned by kickerfish. Its definitely possible on bc gear though. Quote
TankBobcatWatts Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 I use bc for everything. Only own 1 spinning and I haven't actually caught a fish on it (because I don't use it). I prefer everything about bc's. just my opinion Quote
gravestone Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 IMO personal preference, whatever you feel more comfortable with.I personally use spinning but can do the same thing w/ baitcasting. Quote
Super User K_Mac Posted September 6, 2013 Super User Posted September 6, 2013 As already mentioned, the answer for me is yes. For the standard light line, smaller bait applications spinning is my choice. For conditions that require heavier line and weights (and often bigger baits) I prefer baitcast. Quote
