Viscount Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 It's the astronaut suit and the sponsor logos tattoed on their first borned chilluns that help them get the extra distance (tortured soul-push) with inferior products all supplied gratis by the manufacturers all in an effort to make JohnF and other gearpigs wallow in the money lined pit of baitcast brainwashed bubbas. Duh. Sharp contrast to those who hold their spinning reel upside down and reel them backwards.... We've all seen 'em! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnF Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 But ya gotta admire how they get their thumb on the spool. JF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiel Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Really, who would use a bait caster for trout, panfish, and 90 percent pickerel applications. Now I'm really starting to feel stupid. I mean why do I have all these level wind oufits designed for small lake trouting, big water trouting and of course steelies (that's a trout). Not to mention numerous casting outfits designed specifically for walleye. Oh and my favourite perch outfit on the big lakes, you guessed it......baitcaster. Guess I'll have to convert to bass fishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLofchik Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 You should also tell the guys that currently hold casting records they should be using spinning reels instead of conventionals Uh, you mean those reels that cast like more like a bailless spinning reel with a FIXED spool rather than a baitcaster? Those ones? You're entitled to your opinion as everyone else is. It's when you consider your opinion fact that makes you look silly. Not as silly as I look trying to lift up my glass at the end of the day with the horrible misshapen claw of a hand I have after it's been cramped up trying to hold a "low profile" baitcaster all day. No wonder those pro's cast so damn fast, their rod hand is done by noon! Hey can any of you spinophiles do this with your reels? devil.gif Bah haaa haaaa that's an awesome demontration of skill, which is the reason he's using a baitcaster. The superior casting velocity acheived with spinning reels would make it too easy! Not to mention numerous casting outfits designed specifically for walleye. wallbash.gif You mean the myriad of outfits designed & promoted to catch the walleye FISHERMEN dontcha? There's this island in the South Pacific that's been setup to help deprogram former cult members, I think it might find some use here. Some good beach fishing too.......but then again most surf casters are using spinning outfits, oh no! If it makes you feel better you can retrieve backwards with the reel upside down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to climb the mountain, Grasshopper, and sit at the Great One's (Garry, not Wayne) feet to learn his secret. And pray that he's changed his sox before you squat to pay obeisance.

Tybo Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 I know one thing. There people on this board that don't know physics. Drag is caused buy friction. When casting spinning reels the line loops down, making contact with every eye of the rod,friction! You will say that there is more friction in a bearing,Granted. On the scale that is used for bearing is a scale on 1 to 9,by two's 1,3,5.7.9. 1 being the softest. The hard the bearing. The harder it's for the friction to cause heat. Less friction= less drag.

dave524 Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Why not a spincast ?? the best of both worlds Actually I use a Shakespeare 1810 on my float rod, especially at night or when I want to be nostalgic. they do have a pretty smooth drag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twocoda Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 well i suppose to answer the question to the topic of the thread.... If you go down to the mouth of the credit river ( say late sept or early oct) with a 7 foot rod and a baitcaster chucking canadian wigglers and hook into a 30 plus pound salmon...you will answer the question for yourself...( if you dont go then i answer it for you ) BECAUSE ITS FUN FUN FUN !!!!! Not that a 11 - 15 foot rod set up to float isnt fun ...its just another kind of fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tybo Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 Here is an ABU eon e3600. It will pitch a weightless worm or cast a weighted spoon to almost spooling. With 20lb power pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little different from the others. http://www.tackletour.com/reviewicast08usr...upercaster.html Correct me if Im right. Apparently this reel requires no eyelet so it lets you cast further and without Backlash. Good Concept, Ill guess Ill throw out my ABU Garcia Mag that has a floating eyelet when you cast so that I can buy this well advertised product once I Rob the Bank.

There sure has to be a ton of money made selling tackle. All you do is dangle something new in front of a fisherman. But don't throw out that ABU. I think I know where you can get some money for it.

A little different from the others. http://www.tackletour.com/reviewicast08usr...upercaster.html This is not the first time that concept has been tried. Wish I could remember the manufacturer but I recall pictures of a reel from ads in the 50 or 60's that instead of an eyelet had a piece of square stock with a twist in it that when it revolved would lay the line on the spool evenly. My dad was a tournament caster in the late 40's and early 50's winning T.A.H.A. championships at the C.N.E. , learned to fish with better quality knucklebusters of that era , Langely's , Inglis/Shakespeares , was pretty into it as a teen. EDIT: found a pic of what I remember, was more of a trolling type reel from Penn, but the concept is so close I would wonder about patent infringement if it applies after 35+ years http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-Penn-LEVELINE-...=item1e5726aa86 Edited June 11, 2009 by dave524 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
