spinning reels are for girls. Youre right...KVD used the first place prize money he won this year at Smith Mountain(By throwing Shaky Head on Spinning rod/reel)to buy himself dresses and make-up lol I am sure Smith Mountian is up in Yankee land, and probably have to use that [censored] to catch fish up there. We are mostly Texas Fisherman down here, and have to deal with stumps and hydrilla. So we can break out the real bass fishing and act like Bass Fisherman, instead of fishing like we are fishing in a 800 acre bathtub I personally throw 7'6 Baitcasters with LFT Telephone Cable, but I have a spinning set up with 10lbs LFT, for cold fronts and rough bites...Spent too many tourney days throwing big lures with cable at those above mentioned stumps and hydrilla on Texas lakes w/o a hit, so, hence the spinning when I NEED a bite

the more spinning reel haters, the better, for me... I think I made RedRanger mad...I think that there is a time and place for everything...If it meant catching bass, I'd fly-fish lol

KVD and Hackney have made some serious $ with spinning reels throwing stuff that can for most part only be done with spinning equipment.
Several guys mentioned some good equipment and you will be fine with it. But the important part is practicing with it until you become proficient. The best way to do that is practice with it when you are on solid fish. In other words don't wait to use on one of those can't get bit days.
good luck.
