BassCats Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 I have never had a spinning reel and am wondering when you use one, and what you use it for. Quote
kms399 Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 I use a couple. 6'6 med-hvy avid shimano sahara spooled with 14# suffix braid for skipping docks 6'9 kistler LTX med-hvy with shimano symetre spooled with 14# suffix braid also for docks. I like to have a couple different setups ready if one doesn't work i'll try the other 7' med fast avid for drop shot, shakey head or tubes. Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted April 6, 2009 Super User Posted April 6, 2009 I use spinners for dinks and up to tarpon, If I target fish over 50# I use a conventional. Quote
seyone Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 I use spinning tackle primarily for light weight lures and for finesse presentations. My curent set up st croix avs66m paired with a quantum energy Quote
Super User Jig Man Posted April 6, 2009 Super User Posted April 6, 2009 For me it is the side of the boat that makes the choice which is determined by the wind since I fish into the wind. I use spinning on the starboard side and bc on the port when fishing plastics and jigs under 1/2 oz. I get a much better hookset on the starboard with spinning than bc. Quote
mrlitetackle Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 I just use spinning gear all the time. d**n baitcasters, ive got a couple but nothing ruins a good day on the water like a massive birdsnest. Quote

Super User bilgerat Posted April 6, 2009 Super User Posted April 6, 2009 I use spinning for everything. I should add I rarely throw anything above 1/4 oz. I'm a light tackle junkie. Quote

BassCats Posted April 8, 2009 Author Posted April 8, 2009 Thanks for ya'lls imput. I have always used baitcasting, but figured I was in need of diversifying my gear. Quote
Redhed Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 spin reels for light lures and light lines... oh and catfishing (larger rods and larger line) Quote
