I find that using a baitcast setup is just a lot more fun for me. I like the fact that I can reel up, pull the trigger and I am into another cast in a split second. With my spinning outfit, I need to open the bail, grab the line with my finger, etc etc. It's not a night and day difference, but I can rip off 5 casts with my baitcaster faster then I can with my spinning setup.
I also feel I have more control when I really wanna muscle a cast and get the lure out there with my baitcaster compared to my spinning outfit. I am also deadly accurate with my baitcaster.. It all depends on what I am fishing for though.. Vertical jigging or live bait fishing it's my spinning outfit for sure. Casting cranks and topwaters for bass/pike, it's my baitcast setup.. Hucking huge wood for muskie and big pike, baitcaster hands down...
When I first picked up my Shimano Citica 100DSV and spooled it with 8lb Sensation, I literally giggled when I made my first cast. It just went on and on, I couldn't believe the distance I got with this reel. I could easily outcast my oldman and his spinning setup. A little less distance with Spiderwire, but still not to shabby. I tried to get my dad into using the baitcaster with one of my older setups, but he just couldn't get the hang of it. I am going to pick up a one of the new Citica/BPS combo's they have on sale right now. I'll most likely give my dad my 100DSV and take the bigger 200DSV
