HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT REEL! SPINNING VS. CASTING!

[@joshreno4347]

*Smooth operation and love the over sized handle! **enjoyable.fishing** recommend Casts nicely. Fished a recent tournament and used it... had no trouble landing a 6 lb Bass.*

[@michaelbravo1810]

Mike, Thank you!! I’m going to show my 7 & 9 year old. They don’t listen to me about fishing, but they love you so they’ll listen!!

[@mikeiaconellifishing]

Listen to your old man! lol haha Get out there and Catch them up Bravo!

[@sherrilheureux4657]

Most definitely helped you explained it very well thank you

[@rodneygreen9968]

As a kid learning to fish, I went from: Spincasting to Spinning to Baitcasting to Fly-fishing. Ponds to Lakes to Giant Lakes to Streams. LIFE is fullfilling when you Experience It All.

[@sgtpavlov]

Nice video, but today we actually have the option to throw really light stuff on baitcasters. This is called BFS or bait finesse system, also bait finesse for short. Basically, baitcasting reels with very shallow light spools, you load with like 50 yards of light thin diameter line, paired with light rods, that allow you to cast really light lures and rigs. This BFS kind of fishing is from Japan, and major fishing reel companies like Shimano, Daiwa, Abu Garcia, have special reels with shallow spools on the Japanese domestic market. The idea is to use really light rigs for highly pressured bass on local lakes in Japan, as well as stream trout fishing, and UL inshore fishing applications. I've switched over from using UL spinning gear, to BFS gear like 2 years ago. I've got a number of BFS combos now, and I love fishing this way! Most the time I'm throwing UL sized lures for multispecies in freshwater. I never like to leave home without my Shimano Scorpion BFS XG! It's a sexy little reel.

[@cheapshotfishing9239]

Thanks for the info I been looking at putting together a UL baitcaster. Any tips for rod? Was gonna go with a fenwick eagle UL med fast but I wanna hear what ur using

[@lloydsalem3224]

Nice explaination sir.thank you very much.from phillipines.newbies here😊.now i know what the difference.ive just bought pieces for my new hobbies.😊

[@christiancollier4126]

New fisher. I subscribed that made more sense to me than what I've heard so far. I just recently bought a bait caster and I'm not doing too bad with it actually. Alot of great tips on KZbin otherwise I'd be lost and miserable lol

Welcome to a lifelong addiction lmao

Pairing the Revo Abu ike on the saint croix bass mojo yak 7ft 6in medium is a wet dream come true

[@FishinWithBourbon]

I keep all 3 in the boat. No reason to limit myself on how many tools I have at my disposal. I have my Lew's Mach II for baitcasting, a couple Pflueger Presidents for spinning and an Omega Pro for spincasting. I'm still trying to talk myself into getting a Shimano Curado DC baitcaster but I ain't rich. 😂

Great video saying it all

Thanks Mike! Glad it was helpful!

[@raymosbey9830]

I have been wondering that for years. Thanks Ike.

[@mikeiaconellifishing]

Happy to help!

[@Bassman74]

This has to be one of my favorite videos because this seems simple to most people but it is a head scratcher everytime I'm out fishing. Thank you for the very informative information and thank you for the absolutely amazing opportunity to win your custom Abu giveaway!

[@lmsmbassaddict7779]

Thank you bro. I've learned so much watching you over the years

Hey Ike: I liked what you said, but for me 3/8oz is the crossover.

hey mike i got the revo IKE baitcaster for chrismas :D im happy :)

[@vernonsimmons4578]

Always good info🙂

[@jeffgrier8488]

Great info Mike, i guess i never thought about the different uses, I have always used a spinning rod.

[@mikeiaconellifishing]

Glad to help! Give it a shot!

[@sgt_paskie_1017]

straight to the point, i like it.

[@tulsabassprofessor5009]

Legend Ike!!!

[@danieledwards4473]

I keep a rod for every bait I throw several for crankbait jigs and swimbait at least two for every bait I throw

[@PHFishingBiking]

👍 Nice info.. I just recently got into the baitcasting set up's and I found for on land with lots of trees and bushes and stuff around that the spinning set up is much better for tight messy fishing spots.

[@eugenewedding1513]

Great information , I get stuck with a spinning rod in my hand too much I think sometimes.

[@pamelareichardtmundell3208]

Great information! I have been learning a lot from these videos. Keep it up. 👍🏻

[@hillsidemusicstudio3960]

Love the info. I don't do much bass fishing living where I do in California, but mainly fish trout and smaller game fish. I tried baitcaster and just couldn't get the hang of it. Would love to learn how to use them better. Until then, will continue with spinning. Thanks for the info, good to know.

[@robertdiehl1281]

Great stuff Mike. I tend to lean towards bait casters, having starting out with spinning gear. But, application is the key. And spinning gear sometimes is the best tool.

[@zlm2032]

Very informative. I always like watching videos like this. 👍

[@bobbymorton8816]

I always enjoy your videos!!!

[@mikeiaconellifishing]

I appreciate that!

[@scottsoucy6186]

Any time I'm fishing a bait lighter than 3/16 oz. Or line under 10 lb. test, I use spinning gear.

[@joeywatts7779]

You forgot to say why... Took me awhile to figure out on my own That it's hard to cast light stuff on a baitcaster very far without the backlash

[@vinnycaruso1166]

I prefer spinning for saltwater because you can cast further. I also prefer spinning when I’m trout fishing, but I usually go with a bait caster when I’m bass fishing.

[@michaelwille4950]

If I can fish large lures for steelhead & Salmon with a spinning combo, why is a baitcaster advantageous for bass?

[@milkyfade6285]

Very helpful, thank you.

[@m1358]

Very informative,

[@mikeiaconellifishing]

Happy it helped!

[@billsutorius2753]

[@nmfishdude200]

Hey Buddy, will you be putting out a new Abu kids/beginner combo? Your ikeDude rods are hard to find. I have a little boy now and actually would like to pick up a quality setup for him. He’s still young but I’m excited. Thanks for everything! ✌🏻

[@lutfinordin7796]

Great info. I always heard that if we using the finesses application for fishing we would use spinning. But another question came into mind. How to choose the size 😅 I had this Abu Garcia Hornet Stinger Plus line rating 4-12 but still confuse about the reel size whether to choose 2000 or 3000 size. Hope you can help me with a guideline 🙏😁

[@cmercado317]

amen

[@bassmedic]

For years i never liked those baitcasters until i really learned to use them. now i have many baitcasters and only use spinning reels for the lighter finesse stuff. my only problem with spinning reels is i have terrible aim and never get them where i want.

[@sgtpavlov]

Look into BFS baitcasting gear then. BFS reels have shallow light spools which allow you to throw very light lures and rigs. You could replace spinning reels completely with BFS gear, for lighter stuff.

[@rsamano4434]

Funny... In the ocean badass fisherman use spinning reels like the shimano saragosa for the powerful huge fish.

[@julesl6910]

This video is complete nonsense, baitcasters are seen by actual fisherman as a typical bass or lake fishing rig. For serious large fish, spinning reels are obviously used by nearly everyone. Large wheel-type casters are used for sharks or large sport fish, but otherwise the baitcasters that you see for sale at a shop are not for serious fish. For example king salmon fishing, nobody is going to use a baitcaster lol

[@mattcobb1937]

Great info thanks Man!

[@Acrylic24]

Recently got into fishing. Started with a very basic spincaster and have caught all of my first 15 fish (13 smallmouth and 2 largemouth) on the spincaster which in fairness I have had a month longer. The other combo is a baitcaster with CXX HD line and a M/H abu 7’ rod. I have a starter combo that Ive caught all of my fish on plastic worms, mostly Texas rigged. I’m thinking of getting a next level spinning combo as a bridge setup. My question is what should I be looking for, have never owned a spinning rod/reel? Thanks Mike

[@kevinobrien5360]

So for the people like me that have never used a bait casting reel what is a reel you could recommend that does not coat what a tournament fisherman would spend.I know there are dif. types of braking systems which is best for the novice.

[@curranchanvolleyball]

can you make a fully rigged kayak fishing setup. I think a lot of people would like that esspecially during quarantine

[@shanesmith8363]

So Mike, I live across the bridge from you and fish the river and the nock. Should I not invest much and only have 1 or 2 casting and focus on my spinning pole arsenal. You know NJ worm checkers I believe you referenced once ! :)

[@jimmieglass1242]

love your videos

[@franciscolafontaine1362]

Hey Mike nice video but what hapen whith the budget please thank

[@antg2154]

I was distracted by the hey hey chicken in the back but I like bait casters for sure

[@coloradodirtbike5930]

I myself much prefer a spinning rod and reel set up over bait casting.

[@garytingler3222]

Good info Mike

[@deannam1981]

i live in north dakota. it's windy as hell here. i don't own a boat so i fish from shore. i suck at fishing. i went fishing last year and i kept getting bird's nests in my line from the wind. i'm an idiot and obviously not doing anything correctly. please help me. what kind of reel and pole set up should i have and what kind of line?

[@sikais97]

Hello Mike ! I wanted to ask you if it is possible to fish with a big bait with the rods of your version. I know the stem endurance test is 140 grams for the 2.55 meter version. However, when fishing for large pike, it is important to extend the part of the handle behind the reel so that the handle of the rod can be pressed into the armpit when punching, I want to buy your version of the rod at the moment, but I'm afraid the length of the handle. Isnt it shorter than the ABU GARCIA FANTASIA BEAST model? which is specifically intended for fishing for large pike I hope i will get your answer soon ! Thank you, with best regards, Rolands !

Can I use a spinning reel on a casting rod?

[@michaelrodriguez2973]

Thank you for this clear and simple explanation. I have a spinner and a caster but I’m intimidated by the caster for now. This summer I’m going to spool it up with some braid and dive into learning

You can do it! NEVER GIVE UP!

[@brianreigle7905]

Another great video. I'm hooked on the In The Shop Videos. Any reason you left hand reel on your spinning rod but right hand spinning on the bait caster? Why not the same on both?

[@Larry77777]

Hey Brian: The vast majority of baitcasting reels sold are right handle only. Sucks for righthanded people who like to hold the rod in their right hand. They have to switch hands as soon as they've casted. Spinning reels have interchangeable handles to accommodate people's preferences for holding the rod with their strongest hand.

[@sgtpavlov]

@@Larry77777 Actually most baitcasting reels on the market today, are made in both left and right hand. Years ago they were mostly made in right hand only, and that's the reason a lot of guys use right handed reels today. They were taught to use right hand baitcasters because that's all they had.

[@Larry77777]

@@sgtpavlov Yes, that's what I wrote: The vast majority of baitcasting reels sold are right handle only. (The key word is sold. I did not mention what is for sale on the market today.)

Met my wife she lives to fish I use to both the Abu Garcia Revo ike and the Lew's kvd Im a Kansas boy spinning reels are a way of life on a Lew's hypersonic or a kvd 40 you get the Same effect as a bait caster.

[@mimikron69]

Who lives in your aquarium?

[@tejjensen9402]

What nonsense. One can customize all bait weights with fishing rods and wheels. It has more to do with tradition. In my country, 98% of all fishermen only use what he calls casting (spinning wheels). Except at sea here, 98% use large multiplier wheels.

[@julesl6910]

This video is nonsense, you have it exactly backwards. Baitcasters are used for lake and river fishing, anyone fishing the ocean is going to use a reel. Argue all you want, west or east coast I extremely rarely see anyone with a baitcaster. Basically never.

[@pangkaji]

Intro is too long. Repetitive talk like talking to a slow person. Says the same thing again and again

[@spencerb891]

Spinning reel always. No one should ever use a bait caster unless you’re trolling with a line counter.
