Ive used it for casting lures, baits, and various trolling methods
Spinning Reel Pros Higher quality Reel position at the bottom of the rod creates better balance More control over casting distance and speed More control over drag Ideal for placing in a rod holder (set and forget) Lower cost than a baitcaster reel Easy to switch between right-handed and left-handed use (the crank arm can be moved to either side) Can be used with light lures and bait Suited for multiple habitats Spinning Reel Cons Doesnt perform as well or cast as far with heavier lures The bail must be handled properly to prevent tangles A more expensive reel, starting at $50+ Not meant for reeling in larger fish like salmon or halibut At the end of the day, deciding between a baitcaster vs spincaster vs spinning reels will depend on your specific situation and ability as well as what youre trying to catch
