[QUOTE="KDM, post: 204521, member: 314"] Baitcasting reels are more about the weight of the lure than the type of lure. Heavy jigs, say 1/2 oz and up work well when chucked with a baitcaster. Lighter jigs tend to backlash into a rats nest when you try to cast them. Which is why bass boys use baitcasters when using those big heavy cover jigs. Spinning reels excel for lighter jigs when casting. If I spent lots of time on Sak or DL pitching big paddle tails on 3/8ths or larger jig heads, I'd lean towards a baitcaster. Less line twist and I can control the cast with my thumb and put the jig in a coffee cup if I want to. [/QUOTE]
