I think the reference to using a baitcast reel was towards "jigging" techniques & line twist, rather than using them to "cast" light lures.

IMHO ... if you're not casting 1/8 to 1/4oz or heavier lures with a baitcast reel, then you better be VERY PROFICIENT with their use ... or else you're going to be picking out "professional overruns" and/or re-spooling line quite often.
