Freshwater Spinning
Do you use baitcasting setups on a 'regular basis' when fishing with baits in freshwater?
Do you use baitcasting setups on a 'regular basis' when bait fishing in freshwater? If so, how often and on what specie(s) of fish? What size of reel do you use and how big are those fish?
I can't say I never used baitcasting rod and reel when fishing with baits. I just use my spinning outfits much more frequently. My baitcasters saw a whole lot more lures than baits.
I use Shimano reels mostly chronarchs, curados and citica's all in the 200 series, for Large Mouth Bass fishing using artificial lure's pretty much exclusively. But would use them for fishing live bait for Bass as well but most of my Bass fishing is on the Tournament level so even when I'm not in a tourney I'm usually practicing for one and you can't use live bait in a Bass Tournament,(atleast not the ones i fish) hence the reason I never use them with live bait.
I do fish for other species quiet often though but it is not with HIGH Dollar Bass tackle. If I'm after BIG Cat's then I'm usually drifting live bait on jugs or limb line's, trotline's or yo-yo's as we call em' actually they are spring loaded mechanical fishing reels that you attach to a tree limb , dock or anything else that you could tie it to that would be strong enough to hold a large fish. If I am using Rod and Reel then it's either a big spin casting outfit or an Ambassadeur 5000-7000 baitcaster. When I take my family Crappie or Bream fishing we use lightweight spinning equipment exclusively with great success as it is much easier to cast light line and tackle on a spinning rig and a lot easier for the wife and kids to use. But MOST important Less WORK for me....LOL....as I can just imagine all the backlashes I'd be dealing with all day just to keep em' fishing with bait casters.
As for size of fish: on my Shimano's I could use them to catch the biggest of large mouth bass and 25-30 lb or larger redfish if I was fishing saltwater.
The Lightweight spinning equipment we use couldn't take more than a 5-8 lb bass or catfish at best unless we got one that was really tired or just happen to get played out really well.
As for the bigger tactics I use, well I have caught Gar over 150 lbs on jug lines, so I guess in the fresh water as long as I'm in my boat I would think I could handle the biggest in the river either on terminal lines or big spinning and or surf casting equipment under most conditions. However ya can never be sure of the monster that may be lurking round the next bend. I just try to be as prepared as I possibly can for whatever species I'm targeting. Good Luck to ya.
