i cannot throw a baitcaster, there i said it, might be a violation of my man card, but it's the truth.

i cast with spinning rods and bottom fish and troll with levelwinds

it does feel good to come out of the closet

With my hands and stuff these days I level wind all the time! But there was a day I could out cast a spinner any day.

I'm with you Phat. I simply cannot throw a baitcaster.. even the ones with mag sensing, etc. But I'm deadly with a spinning rod, so I don't feel too bad. And all my downriggers have levelwinds on them, so at least I look like a "reel" fisherman.

I think we have enough spinning guys that we can keep our man cards. Glad for this thread bringing up the subject - I should probably sell my bait casting reel. I let myself think if I got a fairly good one, I'd actually be able to use it

I've had the same bait caster for 20 years. I've babied it along with meticulous maintence, but I'm afraid her days are numbered. Going to have to find another one as nice.

I just recently took my Shimano Bantum reel off its reel seat and put it away for safe keeping...I got it in 1982 or so(maybe 81). Still works great, but I don't want to break it or lose it now.
