baitcaster VS spinning

[Muddy]

Freshwater = Baitcaster

Saltwater = Spinning

I ONLY use baitcasters for freshwater. Once I learned I will never go back. Go with a cheaper one, learn it, then go for a nice expensive one. More control, more accurate casting, and just plain more fun.

Hey Jelly;If you wnanna have some BC fun you should try fishing RedFish and Spotted Trout in salt water and then see if it's all that clear

Overwhelming majority of South Florida fisherman use spinning gear for inshore species such as Redfish, Trout and others, guides as well.  Some do use b/c, but very few, matter of choice.

I run into very few saltwater fisherman that even fish freshwater, most don't even own a b/c, however I do know a few.

Not my experience fishing in Lousiaiana

It seems we have reached a dead end or at least drifted off topic.

We'll close with this summary:

"Some people prefer spinning gear while others prefer baitcasters.

Some of us fish both and prefer one over the other for certain

techniques. Use what you like, it will probably work out just fine."

Good night Irene.
