Spinning or baitcasting reel?

DPD6030 · 04-21-2010, 08:37 AM

I have quite a few spinning reels and I'm debating on getting a baitcasting reel. I usually fish for bass and texas, carolina, drop shot and top water fish for them. I also use spinner baits. I just got an ad for a big outdoors catalog and things are on sale. So I suppose I'm asking for input as to the positives of a baitcaster v a spinning reel. I know the baitcasters usually have a higher gear ratio which means a fast retrieve. So what say you?
