Thread: trolling poles question, help please.............

I use spinning reels,because i like my rods with the eyes pointing down.IMO with the eyes down it's easier to see strikes.And they are usually cheaper.

bait casters for me. lower profile and you can use the thumb bar to your advantage when fishin alone and use the other hand for the net.....

thanks, all...............think ill go with the baitcasters.

I think Grizzly Jig has got them www.grizzlyjig.com

I am with Big C on this. I got spinning reels on mine but they are good ones. Got a good smooth drag on them and have a switch you can flip that lets the spool freespool if ya wanna change the depth and also as Big C said i like my eyes downward, with that being said I do not pull cranks, all I do is slow troll so I cannot say about the pullin part but they work wonderful for trollin/ Mine came from academy sports and they are quantum spinning reels at about `19 bucks each. Have some that have been on my poles for almost 4 years and not a problem with em yet. Also they have a line keeper on them, say if I am fishing real deep say 16 to 20 feet , once i catch a fish on them I can hook the line in the keeper and when I flip the bail it will automatically stop at that depth after reelin in a fish.

May as well be using spinning reels. Those have no thumb bar.
