Getting the right bass fishing rod can make or break your fishing trip, the types of rods are endless. Anglers want to know which one is better, a baitcaster or spinning to use for their fishing. That answer, even the master Yoda will tell you, is all up to you and what feels good and works best.
Spinning, the reel is on the bottom of the fishing rod, and the line is released by flipping the bail wire up. The weight of the tackle on your line takes the line out when you cast it.
The spinning rod is usually what most beginners learn to use first, if they didn't start on a bamboo fishing pole. It is best for side-arm flipping, skipping under docks, finessing and topwater action, and can be easier done with a spinning fishing rod. They hold a lighter line and make good for microfishing.
Baitcaster, the reel is fixed on top of the rod, and takes a bit of technique to use your thumb or the thumb bar to release the line. Having your thumb on the line controls distance accuracy when casting and you can cast it with one hand. The lure on the line, takes the line out when you cast out. The best way to learn how to use a baitcaster fishing rod is to have someone show you their method and practice it.
Some anglers complain about using a baitcaster and the idea there is they do not have the baitcaster technique down yet. Another reason the baitcaster can be un-famous with some anglers is the birdsnest effect, that can suck the wind right out of an hour of good fishing.
Baticasters are known more than anything else for being able to handle the struggle of bringing in the "big" fish and the more powerful retrieves. So the baitcast anglers are using heavy test line that can handle the battle of the big fish bulge.
Braided line, the thin braided line can get buried in the baitcaster reel and cause problems, while the thinner braid works better on the spinning reel.
The hot baitcasting reel to have is Shiman Anteres DC7. Check out this review. I have fishing dreams of owning s Shimano Anteres fishing rod but I do not do that kind of "big" fishing. But this Shimano has magnetic control and a built-in microchip that allows it to handle smaller lures and you can fish it like a spinning rod. So it makes me think about purchasing one. Like a good morotcycle or highspeed sports car, it would be good to own and take it out to show off and polish it once in awhile. What are you using?
