Spinning reels can produce almost double the drag (resistance) as a typical bait casting reel. Spinning rods have the larger first few eyelets, while bait casting rods have small eyelets all the way down.
Bait casting reels can leave a bad taste in your mouth if you don't have someone experianced to help you learn to throw them.
I'll be honest, i've been fishing for many years, and the spinning reels of today are much stronger on average than they were in the past. Full steel bodies, strong drags, and easy to cast. I personally moved away from conventional/ bait casting reels and almost exclusively use spinning equipment.
