[QUOTE="raider, post: 26085, member: 353"] i have about 6 pfluger bait casters on 6-7' med fast rods for pulling rigs... i use these 99% of the time... i will let out line until i have the bottom contact i want, then thumb the spool without locking it... if i move shallower, i will reel up line, but then out of habit, will click the button and thumb the spool again... this lets me release more line for short biters while running the i-pilot with the other hand, and gives me adjustable drag (thumb pressure) for bigger or running fish... this lets me get good hook sets, depending on weight, and leaves the drag set for bigger fish... i will underhand pitch with them (bc's) up to 20', but nothing over that, and never try to cast... only time i use spinning reels is deep water jigging and casting to shore this time of year...
