So I've always used spin reels. I primarily have been a Great Lakes fisherman, and those work great out there.

This year I've been doing a lot of inland lake and river fishing for bass and trout. I'd like to try a baitcaster, but never used one.

Anyone have any recommendations? I already have a nice Fenwick I can put it on.

Thanks. I'm planning on buying from a local family owned store here. I'll see if they stock these.

If you have never used a bait caster, look into a feature called magnetic braking. It reduces your cast length a little, but prevents the bird nesting that comes with normal bait caster use

Never have. I watched a bit of JewTube about it. Seems like there is a bit of a learning curve, but after watching for a short time I did the typical toxic masculine thing and said fuck it, I'll figure it out when I get it. lol

I'll be sure to ask about the magnetic braking. The guys at the shop here are helpful, but I'm grateful to source some basic knowledge before going in so thank you.
