baitcasting

[iliketofish]

I agree with idahopanfish. Set it up so the lure drops slowly when you let go of it on a free spool. but in my experience the lighter you get, the harder it is to cast with a bait caster . I always use a spinning reel for my smaller lures. One thing that helps me cast farther even with smaller stuff is to use superlines like fireline, spiderwire, or powerpro. They cast farther than monofilament, for me anyway. But I definately love using bait casting gear when I can, I think they are more fun to use, your line won't twist as much, and in some cases I can cast quite a bit farther. You just have to watch out for back lashes.
