Baitcasting crappie?

[Bricks]

I use a Kistler Helium III MLXF 7 foot and a Piscifun baitcaster with a shallow spool, had a Shimano Core 50 MGX7 on it once I got the Piscifun reel it would out cast my core with Crappie crankbaits tied on so sold the Core. I set this up just because I like using baitcasters as an old X Bass Fisher.

Catching anything on light gear is fun. Definitely going to build a cool set up. I have everything from swimbait stuff to panfish lol

I just can't find myself in a situation where I have to remember which hand to use to reel in my fish .....
as my memory fades , I can see this becoming more and more of an issue , just saying .....

Mine too. I never did quite understand why people choose to switch hands between the 2. to each their own I guess.

If you haven’t settled on Aldebaran I would recommend look at Daiwa Alphas Air BFS. BFS can be fun if you don’t need a mile of distance, and can be very helpful when vertical jigging. If you intended to cast anything 1/32oz head, you will be very disappointed. 1/16oz is workable but need a lot of dial in. Rod is also very important in this case. You need the rod that can load with even light weight.

Two reasons my left thumb is not as educated as my right, I always palm my baitcasters it`s natural for me to move my left hand from the rod butt ( too load the rod ) to palm the reel as the bait touches down my right hand goes to the reel crank. Hard to break a 55 year habit.

Why limited yourself with just one. I use lefties when working lure a lot like shaking or twisting, and using right for everything else. This case I can switch hand when one get really tired. BTW I’m right hand but can cast both left and right.

I'm lefty and there's no way I can crank lefty. Every time I try I seem to turn it the wrong way. I crank with my right all the time, cast lefty, doesn't matter if it's bait caster or spinner.

Makes sense I'm right handed and retrieve with my left
