Reel Question:(Get it?) Why do you guys use baitcasters? I would consider myself a High Journeyman, not yet Master, fisherman and do everything from fly fishing small water, bass in ponds and rivers, to bait fishing for trout and cats on occasion.( I like to sit on my ass once in a while) I generally get out 40 times a year.

All that said, I never use baitcasting reels. All spin and fly.

Please educate me on their advantages.

Thanks,
