What kind of reels do you fellows use on your long rods for livescope, I first started with baitcasters but today I fished with a spinning outfit, I was amazed by the difference between them. I mostly always use a baitcasters for vertical trolling, so I grabbed one of those rods and I have been using it for livescoping, not any more.:bash
Spinning reels for me
All my panfish hunting is done with spinning reels - and about 1/3 of my bass hunting as well.Quote:

I’ve used trigger spins but line twist was horrible, spinning reels were better. I settled on ice fishing reels, still not completely happy. lol

The quantum optix from academy in size 20 is a great reel. For less than $25.
Spinning reels for the win!

Spinning reels pitch quicker with less chance of problems. I always use spinners. :twocents
The only "pro" I can think of for using a baitcast reel is .... less coils & line twist. :twocents
Currently using spinning reels. I am looking at some of the in-line ice fishing reels, but have not pulled the trigger.

I still prefer baitcasters . I got tired of setting the hook with bail in the wrong position. Most of my fishing is vertical , but I still pitch with baitcasters.
If I were casting , I have spinners for that.

Shallow i can go either way. Deep i want a spinning reel.

look at the reel i just got off amazon on my crappie or crappy post and go get one , thank me later .....just saying
I use a cheap zebco baitcaster…I seem to be the only one. Lol for what it’s worth I prefer to hold the rod in my left hand (handle on the reel is to the right if your facing it) and pull the line with my right hand with the spool disengaged. When I do this I actually spin the rod around with the reel facing the lake (now reel handle is on the left) and when I pitch out my line never catches on the reel. Sounds unorthodox..because I guess it is but I never gave it much thought until now. I would say the only pro to having a baitcaster besides less line twist would be the amount of line it will hold….and I have 10 of them laying around collecting dust because I haven’t spider rigged in two seasons now.

Now that is very frustrating. This is why I took my spinning reel off.Quote:

Size 1 spinning reels for me. Bought mine from Fle-Fly a couple of years ago and they have proven themselves time and time again. On 14' rods. Smooth, great drags, ball bearing construction. Small and light.
