Super User BassinLou Posted September 11, 2013 Author Super User Posted September 11, 2013 Just from what you telling me, it's going to be an eye opening experience for you. From a boat the experience is different. Your skills have to be honed in a little more because you have to hit your spot sometimes with the boat moving. You can fish with a spinner if you want, but you will have more muscle with a B/C. Quote

You can fish with a spinner if you want, but you will have more muscle with a B/C. I see your point as far as accuracy, I hear BCs are more accurate, however that is not the case with me yet. I do like working the texas rig with them better than a spinner and top water/jerk bait I prefer a spinner still. But controlling the fish once on I feel is all spinning, but like you said BCs are muscle. Each has its own good qualities. Quote
Super User BassinLou Posted September 11, 2013 Author Super User Posted September 11, 2013 MCS each outfit has it's pros and cons. You are still a rookie on the b/c, give it more time and you will pick up on that. Quote
Super User BassinLou Posted September 11, 2013 Author Super User Posted September 11, 2013 Let me try again. That last thread did not make sense. MCS over time you will notice that b/c is more versatility than what you are experiencing now. 1 Quote

I will know what you mean sooner than later come jan If you get a good quality reel, you will enjoy the experience much better. I have been fishing Shimano baitcasters since my first one when I was 10, so, 20 years I have been spoiled rotten, lol. You won't regret it, especially for frogging and heavy line applications. Quote
JaxBasser Posted September 11, 2013 Posted September 11, 2013 I was a 100% spinning reel user until I bought my first baitcaster 10 or so years ago and really made myself learn it and get better with it. My spinning gear still has its uses but I really enjoy using my bc setups. It was rough at first but it becomes second nature really quickly. I do wish I had learned on a LH bc though. Just seems to make more sense and be a bit easier. Oh well though. Quote

Yeah it does look like it makes sense, but RW made a good point if you right handed the poin of a BC reel is power so you crank with your dominant hand where spinning is more rod control and playing the fish. I too am learning on a RH and have purchased a RH as my first BC reel. It is all good still catch fish either way Quote
Super User AK-Jax86 Posted September 11, 2013 Super User Posted September 11, 2013 Anybody catching any fish with these baitcasters you speak of? Quote

I have been handed down a little of the food and drink, a few words or expressions from him and my grandmother. I will try to pass it to my kids but like everything with time it fades away. Quote

CapitolP Posted September 11, 2013 Posted September 11, 2013 You see there's a difference to be said about fishing times. 1. You fish 2 hrs because that's the only time you have available to you, or 2. You fish that long because you can only tolerate so much of the outside conditions. I am mostly # 1. However, when its an Everglades fishing day, the clock goes out the window. I will fish 8-9hrs continuous, except thru thunderstorms. Heat or cold. So AK, be warned.... if i'm fishing 8-9 hours i'm going to do it from 11pm-8am the following morning, i'll stay up all night and forgo a night of sleep for an awesome fishing experience also less people are around so the beer flows more freely cheers!
