I fished with a lot of guys that couldn't cast a spinning reel, they'd release wrong and the lure would go straight up.
As I've said, each is a tool. To be an efficient fisherman you need to know how and when to use both.


I got a wild hair and ordered a #9 "Super" Shad Rap back a few months ago. Basic impression.... "meh". It's just too big. I'm sure if I stuck with it, one would eventually eat it, but that sucker's really big. Our club gets a "VIP discount" direct from Rapala, so I didn't pay much for it, but it was a waste of my money.
