Fish Spinning Reel

Does it matter if you use a spinning rod/reel compared to a baitcaster when bass fishing?

I’m new to the bass fishing world, and I’m just concerned if I need to buy a seperate type of rod/reel for bass fishing (baitcaster), for I only have experience using a spinning set-up for bluegill fishing. Any advice?

Do you plan to use all the different varieties of lures Bass fishermen have at their disposal?

A Spinning rod/reel is mostly designed specifically for “light tackle” Bass fishing using lighter lures and lines.

Baitcaster’s are important to Bass fishing because:

A. Baitcaster’s can be easily spooled with heavier & larger diameter lines- Why is this important? Larger diameter lines (in the 14lb to 17lb size) help heavy lures sink slower due to “diameter drag”. This is VERY important when fishing with Spinnerbaits, larger Crankbaits & Jigs, Etc.
Mono lines have a “high floating characteristic” that also slows the sink rate of larger Bass lures…..

Heavier lines are stronger, more abrasion resistant, and can generally take a lot of abuse.

B. Baitcasters tend to be more accurate- After practicing with your baitcaster you will notice a vast improvement in accuracy between your spinning outfit and your baitcasting outfit. Obviously, putting the lure exactly WHERE you want it is very important in fishing…….

C. Baitcasting rods tend to come in more “Bass specific” actions- Although you CAN use Spinning outfit’s for a majority of B-fishing, by using a baitcasting outfit you can more “refine” your fishing techniques. (Analogy- Why use a car for off-roading when you could use a jeep or a 4 wheel drive?)

Bottomline?? If you plan to take Bass fishing seriously you NEED to be able to use a baitcasting outfit.

Shimano ST1000FJ Stradic FJ Spinning Reel $218.06 Shimano Stradic FJ Spinning Reels have the same classic look but more power than their predecessor. Shimano s XShip gives Stradic FJ increased gearing efficiency and power providing for ultralight handle rotation and a smooth effortless retrieve. XShip: By using a large diameter drive gear moving the pinion gear closer to the center of the drive gear to provide 20 more power and by supporting the pinion gear with two ARB ball bearings XShip provides a smooth effortless retrieve and also virtually eliminates the pinion gear twist and rotor flex common with most spinning reels when fighting a fish. Aluminum Rotor Sideplate. Paladin Gear Durability Enhancement: Using a special cold forged aluminum drive gear and a hardened brass pinion gear (Stainless Steel pinion gear on Stella SW) reels equipped with the Paladin Gear Durability Enhancement will retain their outofthebox smoothness much longer than before. In fact testing has shown that this combination of metals is more durable than an allstainless steel drivetrain while maintaining the smoothness that Shimano is famous for. Propulsion Line Management System: The most obvious component of the Propulsion Line Management System is the new Propulsion spool lip design. Through tens of thousands of casting tests and computer simulations it has been determined that this new spool lip design provides longer casting distances than a standard spool lip design while preventing backlashes and wind knots from forming. It also allows the line to flow off of the spool in smaller loops during the cast which means less slap on the stripper guide. This means longer casts with less friction. The Propulsion spool also utilizes a long stroke design to further enhance the casting distance. Furthermore there is less bouncing of the line on the spool lip like on a standard spinning spool. Because of the unique shape of the Propulsion spool the line flows consistently off of the spool. So with a standard spool friction alternates f
