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.

They are also about the only way to go if you are bouncing bucktails in those same breachways.

For sure, and they last a heck of a lot longer than a comparable spinning reel in the surf.  Maintenance for the Calcutta is to clean specific areas with rubbing alcohol and no more than 2 drops of oil per season (they slow if you over oil)
 I send my stella out for service as it's a bit more complicated.
