Spinning vs Baitcasting

RE: Spinning vs Baitcasting
MA,

Get a decent spinning reel first. You can do almost anything you need to do with a spinning reel, plus its what your comfortable with.

When you have some extra coin, get a good baitcaster. And practise at home pitching in the backyard.

I don't mean any offence, but at this point, if you skip the spinning reel and go with a baitcaster, your not gonna have a very productive spring.

Learning a baitcaster takes a little time. Once you learn how, they are an awesome tool in the toolbox. But like John Kimble said, you should still have both, depending on species and technique.

One downfall to a baitcaster is if your fishing from shore and you have a headwind, your day is shot. Baitcasters can be used into the wind, but you need alot of experience to do so.

Hope this helps
