    Default Spinning or Baitcast on your trolling rods?


    Looking for opinions on new reels for my 16' PST's. I've had the Quantum lucky lefty baitcasters on and I really liked those, but the anti reverse is starting to play out on them. It's a real bad feeling when your pole starts to bend and you go to set the hook and bam a hugh backlash that you have to cut out. I've had enough of it. Just seeing what thoughts ya'll have?

    Thanks!

    Baitcasters. Everything else is sissy.

    A lot like the old Wannabe... except with fewer bad words. And Karate chop action. But, yes, still purtier than you.

    Depth control is easier with baitcasters.
    I got 350 heads on a 305 engine.
    I get 6 miles to the gallon.
    I aint got no good intentions.

    Spinning on trolling rods and line counters on tight lining and crank bait rods.

    Thanks for the input fellas. Which baitcasters are ya'll using. I really liked those quantum lucky lefty's other than they aren't very durable. The thing I liked about them was the flipping switch which made it super easy to let out line. Thanks again!

    Give Grizzly a call. They usually stock some low end baitcasters by shakspeare for sun 25 each and had some lefties last I looked.

    Brand don't mater. All will last 3-5 years and when they fail it'll be from abuse not mfg error.

    I actuall ordered 3 direct from china via Amazon by a company called docooler that were about $23...10bb instant anti reverse, drilled spool low profile. Way nicer than the Shimano curados I was giving $150 a pop for back before I gave up bass fishing.

    then again...they's less than $25. If they break, chunk em in the lake and get more.
