[QUOTE="Mr. Stevenson, post: 327233, member: 7414"] Comparing a BC to spinning gear is akin to comparing spinning gear to a fly rod. Crossover is possible and minimal. [COLOR=silver][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] 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. [COLOR=silver][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] 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. [COLOR=silver][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] 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. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] 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. [/QUOTE]
