Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mr. Stevenson" data-source="post: 327233" data-attributes="member: 7414">Comparing a BC to spinning gear is akin to comparing spinning gear to a fly rod.  Crossover is possible and minimal.- - - Updated - - -A 3/8th or heavier spinnerbait can be awkwardly fished on spinning tackle.  The presentation will be loud, the retrieve retarded/ungainly on a bent rod, the lure will start at increased depth; possibly stripping drag/twisting line unless slow rolling. A hookset in this fuck story may break your rod.  Reeling against a stripping drag twists line on spinning tackle.  On another note:  Line twist problems are near nonexistent with MODERN braid:  Totally non-issue with a BC.I lied in my OP.  Sorry.- - - Updated - - -Spinnerbaits are not the only purpose of baitcasting reels.  Twitching a balsa jerkbait on top or jigging a plastic with a 1/8oz or smaller sinker is where spin meets fly.  It's all about profile and weight.  FWIW a Texas Rigged 7in plastic worm is an effective bass/ walleye/catfish/pike/saltwater bait with a 1/8oz sinker being the max on spinning tackle.  Go heavier and the above rambling about spinnerbaits apply: IMO.- - - Updated - - -I've whipped some heavy streamers on spin gear and caught fish.  The drop from the tip to the fly is excessively long and the cast is extremely violent.  That is all.- - - Updated - - -Another positive about braid:  30yrs ago muskie fisherman used 25lb test along with bass fisherman flipping lily pads.  Now one can cast a micro-Rapala on 2/15 as others catch tuna on 20lb diameter.</blockquote>
