Spinning reel for windy days and light baits.
Baitcaster for heavier baits and generally the best all-round bass reel because you can use heavier line for pulling them out of cover. My Diawa Tatula's say otherwise. My chronarchs work but why challenge someone new with an advanced skill? Only reason I say the Tatula is besides casting a country mile its antibacklash system is amazing. My wife never tried a bait caster in her life and I used it to teach her. She slung that thing all day and never backlashed once even with a 4" superfluke on a 2/0 hook. I will say though they do have a steep price tag and might be a bit much for someone who may not even like baitcasters.

Just find one that's comfortable in your hand. Don't focus to much on brand. They are all good. It's also OK to use spinning reels. They will work just fine and you can throw heavy baits and get fish out of cover with them. I have pulled Bull Reds and Snook out of some nasty stuff so bass will not be an issue with them. Their downside is they are bulky and I personally have less accuracy with them casting to targets.

This reel is the most backlash free reel that I have ever used and I have been through a bunch of them in the past 40 years of fishing. It is truly an amazing reel. You can get them for a great price on ebay. Now I hope Daiwa will make a smaller finesse reel (like the Sol) with the same type brake system they have on the Tatula SV TW.
