[bigbill]

Speaking for my wife Bill, she uses a spinning reel, and she's pretty effective with it I might add

[Fishing Cowgirl]

Baitcaster, though it took a lot of trial, errors, "professional overruns, or Bill Dance get out the scissors birdsnest".

[bigbill]

Not too many fisherwomen here? We must have more women readers than posters.

Come on ladies here's your chance to get involved her. You have a voice here too.

Don't just stick your foot in the door and peek inside just come right in and post your welcome here.

I use both depending on the conditions, lure weight and action, etc. Like Cowgirl I never left to go on the water without my scissors

I have the Revo S Spinning reel on the Veritas rod and I love it!  Also, just purchased the Revo 3S baitcasting reel and Vendetta 6'6" medium heavy rod!  This is my first baitcaster and I love it!  Been watching Bassresource's you tube  videos and learning all I can about it.  Love this site!

I have three spinning reels. I have nothing against bait casters but my free time is limited and in my head I want to fish with what little time I have rather than learn a baitcaster lol.

Baitcast all day!!!!!

 

Shimano Chronarch & Lews Gold are my two favorite reels. Not a huge Abu Garcia Fan. I grew up fishing with a curado but they just aren't made the same these days!

 

I have two spinning rods in my arsenal but rarely pull them out, when I do its usually looking for reds with a vudoo shrimp under a popping cork.

I do both, I love the ease of the spinning reels, but I am trying to get more comfortable and accurate with the bait casters I have.

Thank you ladies for your answers here. I know we have more women fisherman and I wish they would post rather than just read. I'd like to read all your info on what your using. If your a fisherman and aren't registered here please do. It would be great to have more women here too. I'd like to see this become the best bass forum n the net but we need everyone to participate.

Spinnin' reel!  I worked last winter on my bait casting skills, but come spring, I found myself concentrating too much on THAT and not enough on fishing. 

I may work on it again this winter, but in the meantime, my husband has glommed onto the nice combo he put together for me and I am not sure I can get it away from him.

I HATE spinning reels!  That being said, I have one, finally.  I refused to own one for many years.  I'm much happier and feel like I catch lots more bass using baitcasters.  I really love to teach ladies how to use a baitcaster.  Men too can learn if they don't know how    It is simply a matter of setting the reel to the bait.  I often tell people that come in the tackle store, give me 15 min and I can have anyone using one.  I've sold lots and lots of reels this way.

My wife says I fish like a girl, keeps calling me a P*****

[Ratherbfishing]

My girlfriend hasn't the knack for a baitcaster and she likes the way a spinning rod feels in her hands (less painful after awhile).  I like it because I'm not always fishing out backlashes for her.

Start with spinning tackle.

My wife uses spinning for everything, and is a very effecient multi spieces angler.

Who BTW takes affence at being called a "Fisherwomen????",

my wife and her female angleing friends prefer "Female Anglers"..

 

 

Tight Lines All!

It does take more practice for some of us to get decent with a baitcaster while others do well in a couple hours.....so they claim.  I seriously doubt they are that good.    Switching from spinning gear to baitcast gear may be harder than for those who never used a spinning reel.  I know in my own case accuracy was horrible.  What would have landed in front of me with spinning wound up 30-45 degrees to the left with a baitcast reel (I cast right handed while learning).

 

My daughter loves to fish, but not only doesn't she not post, she doesn't read.  So I will provide the specifics for her.  She started with spinning gear.  Had to be pink........natch.  This was when I got back into fishing locally in '09.  In 2011 I had DVT build her a 6' MH......PINK....rod for Senkos as a Christmas present.  Couldn't talk her into a longer rod.  She no longer uses the spinning outfits.  The reel I got for her was a Chronarch 101A that is currently spooled with 14# Neon Tangerine Seige.

 

BTW, she was almost 30 when she started fishing.  I often have to beg her to quit so I can go home! 

 

EDIT:  Meant to add that I have glommed onto the baitcasting outfit I got for my oldest grandson as he won't try it.  Likes his spinning outfit.  May have to buy him a couple more baitcast outfits.  :teeth3:  Snooze, you lose.

My fiancee uses the Phflueger Lady Trion. Just like the Phflueger President it holds up. She loves it. She recently had the BPS lady series spinning rod. All I can say if you can teach your wife a baitcaster then go for it, if not, then spinning is your answer,

[bflp3]

My wife uses spinning gear. I've tried introducing her to baitcsters with two different reels, first righty, then a lefty by request, but she always went right back to her spinning gear. Oh well, now I have another baitcaster in my lineup.
