Ok folks,
I could use an education. I've always been a spin fishing type of guy but now I'm starting to wonder if I've been "in the night" and missing the "boat". What are the pros, cons, advantages, di
vantages, preferrences, of casting reels and rods vs. spin reels and rods?
First, let's get the criteria straight. I'm talking primarily warm water (bass, wipers, crappies, bluegill, perch, channels, etc.), but primarily bass, shore fishing on moving water and tubing on still water. Using primarily light ( 1/32 oz.-1/16oz., 1/8 oz max.) jigs, etc. No boats!!! I'll stick to fly rods for moving water and trout. I suspect spin is best for lighter weights.
Maybe I should not limit the criteria!! Keep it general!? Please jump in!
