[QUOTE="Bryan_VA, post: 7046, member: 113"] With BC you get better cast control and accuracy. You can stop a bait exactly where you want to and make it drop into the water with only minimal splash when necessary. There are also times when you need to start your retrieve the instant your lure touches the water, or even before. Buzzbaits are a good example. After you cast a buzzbait with spinning gear the bait starts sinking while you're still reeling up slack from the cast. And if you close the bail during the cast the bait comes crashing down like a rock. Baicasters are also better for "run and gun" fishing. No need to close or open the bail and waste a couple seconds reeling up slack after casting. Chuck and wind, chuck and wind... Spinning gear is definitely more versatile though. I'd say in a given year I probably use spinning reels 70% of the time. If I could only use one kind of reel for the rest of my life it would be spinning. [/QUOTE]
