[black][size 3]I use both.[/size][/black]

[black][size 3]For anything that requires back bone or is not a finesse presentation, I will use casting gear. I have more options with it. For example, anytime I am fishing in cover, or with heavy baits or in shallow darker waters, I prefer the power I have with a baitcaster. It is also very difficult to control the cast of a 3/4 - 1 oz jig'n'pig or spinner bait with a spinning set-up. [/size][/black]
[black][size 3][/size][/black]
[black][size 3]Similarly, it is difficult to employ finesse techniques using light lines and light jigs(1/16-1/4) or skipping lighter tubes on the water without using spinning gear.[/size][/black]
[black][size 3][/size][/black]
[black][size 3]Each type of equipment has it's strenghts and limitations. It is up to the angler to take advantage of those and use them to be more effective.[/size][/black]
