    I’ve always loved the feel of a pistol grip, BUT alas the bait casting skills don’t match. Spinning for me.

    Spinning reel. The lighter the better.

    I never likes a spinning reel but use one for a shakey head or ned rig when bass fishing. I tried the baitcaster for vertical jigging & just didn't really like the feel of it on my 13 foot acc crappie stix super grip rod with rear reel seat so i tried a spinning reel & like it so much better.

    Would never use a baitcaster with light lures; like to alternate between spincast (push button) and spinning - both with braid line on both.

    Never got past the rat's nest on the bait caster. Don't have live-scope either. But I do have a few open-faced spinning reels...
