Casting Spinning Gear

[Stan Smith]

from a young age I learned to efficiently cast  baitcasters and skipped out on learning to cast spinning gear all together. Mainly, because I quickly got tired of the line problems associated with spinning gear.  Well ,armed with the knowledge of how to properly set up a spinning rig now, I decided to give it another try. After several days of trying to perfect the cast today it finally clicked. The motion/technique used to cast a spinning rod is much different than a baitcaster. Casting a bait caster is very similar to throwing a baseball. The best way to describe throwing a spinning rod I would have to say really feels more like you re shooting the lure out there. You really focus on loading the rod up. Tell me what you guys think.

Hmm. Interesting thoughts.

 

I started on spinning...well, technically I started on 

simpler gear, but that said, I graduated quickly to 

spinning gear.

 

Learned casting over the past many years to the point

where I became proficient in doing almost everything

I could do on spinning...almost.

 

Today I am using spinning gear about 10:1 over casting.

In terms of shooting, loading the rod, etc., yes, I agree

mostly.

 

I think it comes down to experience. Each is different,

each is unique. All said, I probably would agree with your

sentiments for the most part.
