Don't want to sound stupid, but what is the difference between Spinning & Bait Casting reels other than one being open faced and one being closed faced.
When I was a kid my Dad let use bait casting just for the point of me being able to get off a decent cast. Once I got some age on me I went to spinning reels and never looked back. (felt like I had became a man)
I have been curious about buying me a bait casting reel for a smaller pole to go after Bluegills and things of that sort. But, I also notice on allot of fishing shows I see the pro's going after big game fish using bait caster's rather than spinning reels.
Any quick responses will help being that I plan on buying a new rod and reel today after work for my first trip out this season tomorrow.
Thanks,
Woody Wood
