Only time I use em for live bait is if I'm using perch or sunfish for bait

[william berger]

A baitcaster is like a winch on a pole- it's great for fighting large fish or horsing fish out of tight cover. It also offers a more finely tuned drag- again, good for fighting large fish. Other than that there isn't really much of an advantage.

They are great for jigging lakers through the ice.

I prefer jigging with a fly rod

The biggest advantage of using a baitcaster IS you become a better fisherperson.

LOL...When I started stripper fish'n @ the green island power plant many, many moons ago, I was the only one throwing bait with a baitcaster.    But, in doing so, I always had a spool of line with me and have been pulling off line and cutting birds nest out of my spool a many time lol. Throwing off herring and birds nesting up many time lol....
You can do it, throw livebait with a baitcaster, but be ready for backlashes when the bait comes flying off.

I can't fish rubber baits with anything else. Love fishing with my baitcasters.

I use the pick   & it comes out     in a Flash   done did it  Now  I Cast  & Get A  big un

[flynicefish]

I haven't really used em much except for trolling

easy way to clear the birds nests is to close it, lighten the drag and slowly pull the line out, when it comes to a loop, the line comes out without turning the spool.
