Default Re: Another Spinning Rod or Move onto Baitcasting?

I have an Abu Revo NACL which I like... Nice and light which helps with fatigue if you are working the rod all day and helps with the sensitivity if paired with a light weight rod. I use it for togging and buck tailing.

If that's what you're after you should give one a try but make sure and match it to a light weight rod to get the full benefits.

Only drawback I see with these bait casters is they are not great for casting lighter lures. A spinner is much better and no backlash issues. Some of the new lightweight spinners like the Shimano Stradic CI4 are nice and light yet have some hefty drag ratings and in my opinion are much more versatile if you are looking to go light.
