[QUOTE="Rowdie, post: 26089, member: 272"] I grew up trolling bouncers with baitcasters. That's all my dad ever used. I started buying spin cast reels in HS when I started fishing with others and learning to drift lindys and jig. Now I use baitcasters for trolling, line counters for cranks, and spin cast for jigs, lindys, and shore fishing. I switch all my spincast reels to real with my right hand. Since I use power pro line on everything, I have, and will on occasion put a bottom bouncer on my spinning rod. I think pulling trees off the bottom has ruined some of the Shimano reels. They just aren't made for heavy snags IMO. The last spin cast reels I've purchased are Phleuger, but I'm going to be nicer to those. Not be lazy and throw a crank or bouncer on it because I don't wanna bring another rod, or tie a knot. [/QUOTE]
