I have a bunch of spinners on had for those who
can't throw a baitcaster.

This is another classic case of which are you more comfortable with and suits you best. For years all I had in my arsenal of gear was baitcaster's. Then I spent 5 years in the Marine Corp and was always stationed somewhere near the coast. I started doing alot of surf and bay fishing during that time. It didn't take long to see what the locals were working with see that my baitcasters could not throw near as far as the spinning gear. I slowly started fishing with spinning gear during that time....since then I have made a total switch to nothing but spinning gear. Spinning gear is much more comfortable in my hands then baitcasting gear. Like someone else had said, the drag systems do seem to be smoother. The weight of the reel hangs down under the rod as you hold it is a plus also...feels much more natural. I've yet to fish with anyone that can cast with a baitcaster as far as I can with a spinning outfit. They work much much better in the wind also. Plus fishing with very light baits they also work much better. In general a spinning outfit lets you enjoy your catch more it seems also. To each his own...but for me its spinning gear.

Spinning reels are my first love. Rarely use the other types.

I use aint casters for slabbing and for trolling If im casting i use either a spinning real or a closed face Yup i like my zebco 33!!!!
