I've used bait casters just enough to get past being completely aggravated with them.
In my 20s I fished more often and was OK, but never got good enough to avoid at least one fun filled tangle on each trip.
Now I fish less, so to preserve sanity I use spinners.
Another couple years I'm gonna have a zebco with a button
Only spinning reels for me. The list is a little long but it goes from largest, Finn Nor Lethal 100, to smallest, Lews Wally Marshal series 50. I swap between fresh & saltwater fisheries & fish for everything from sharks to bream. Spinning reals have just always worked better for me.
What do you think about LEWS stuff? I've almost bought a few of their bait casters but always end up with Abu Garcia cause I trust them.

Never tried it, but I have no doubt in some locations it has to be fun.

Caught about 90 minutes away from here.
That thing is a pig, damn!
Glad they released it, from what I've been told a lot of states take the fish for studies.It was a new state record @35#. I don't think it was caught with a fly rod. It was weighed, measured and released about 3 weeks ago. Bass Pro headquarters is about 45 minutes away and I am glad it was released and not sold to BP to display in one of their aquariums.
