Each to his own. I used bait casters in my 20's when I hunted bass, I switched to spinning gear when I switched to crappie as my fish of choice. I now prefer spinning gear but as I said, each to his own when it comes to fishing styles and fishing gear.
You need to be careful through. Once you start seriously fishing for crappie you will forget about the green fish.

Any day I'm fishing is a good day, regardless of what I catch.
