DIRTY DEEDS ,Im with you,A baitcaster AINT for livebait.{FOR SURE}.
I disagree, there are applications where "baitcasting" ie conventional reels are the best choice.
I use conventional chucking eels at the rhody breachways. No way to drift an eel out 200 yards with spinning while controling the line effectively.
Also not using spinning when throwing 10" goldens or dace for pike. The calcutta bsv get's that job and does it well.
