G, what do you like better about baitcasting? Honestly, I'm really liking my medium-heavy spinning outfit with 20lb braid for general bass/pike fishing. I can cast all day without wasting a minute undoing a backlash, and I can cast from any position without worrying about the smoothness of my casting stroke. Maybe i haven't spent enough time with a casting reel yet.

If you're upgrading from an ugly stick then the difference in performance a graphite rod grants you will be striking.

Bass Pro has their own IM6 line of rods with premium cork handles for spinning and baitcaster reels. These rods have had really good reviews and only cost around $40 bucks! I bought one and love it! Why pay three times more (oh wait the warranty) for a name brand expensive rod when this will do just fine...........Check it out for yourself Michael Ang
