    Default mr. crappie bait caster with a BnM jig pole


    I may be showing my "rookieness", but do you all use a baitcaster type reel with the 10/12/14 foot BnM type rods? Seems like a spinning reel would be better. I'm tight-lining with these rods.

    Thanks, Wally "FishnFed"

    A lot of us use baitcasters for spider rigging.......we alo use line counter type reels for pulling crankbaits.
    I have spent most my life fishing........the rest I wasted.

    I use all spinning reels on my poles for the simple reason I want my eyes on my poles pointing down. I have about 100 BnM poles I use for trolling and they are all rigged the same.

    I use BnM baitcaster reels on 3 of my poles, but they are line holders only. I like them. Ecause they are so light. I have Plueger trigger spin reels on two of them in case I do some casting and retrieving.

    i fish shallow water (rarely more than 10'), so i use those small slater plastic pole reels on both jig and trolling poles. if i fished deeper water i'd use small spinning reels. everyone does it a bit differently, so you decide whay works best for you and how/where you fish.

    You can always turn your pole over. Usually the reel is only holding line anyway when spiderigging. Baitcasters are much easier to store in a transport rack when going to the lake or changing locations while on the lake.

    Spinners here too.

    My 10ft Uncle Buck Graphites have "underspins" on them. I like the triggers. If I didn't have them I'd put small spinning reels on them!
