    I'll add in that spincast are sometimes the only options that work for people with certain disabilities such as arthritis. I know some older folks who can only fish with spincast gear, otherwise they can't cast for themselves. Either way, it's good to have as an option to lend out to someone who might not be able or interested in learning how to use spinning or baitcasting setups

    I'm 34, and only been fishing 3-4x in my life. Unfortunately, my dad has been disabled my entire life and my mom doesn't care to fish, so i never really learned as a kid. Dad has been getting some stuff together for a birthday gift to me, which is super cool. However, part of his disability is preventing him from being able to effectively teach or even really advise in an understandable way (stroke) and this video was very helpful for us to decide what stuff to get.
    He was a fairly experienced fisherman in his time, living in southeastern VA, and when i mentioned that i felt an actual need to become less dependant on groceries, he wanted to help me get started. Thank you for helping me help him help me lol
    Edit: we're going with a spinning reel, because of the versatility and I also like the idea of casting that way. Seems like it'll be the most efficient way to learn and be ready for different circumstances at the same time.

    Got a mixture of both spinning and baitcast setups. I appreciate the differences and how one has an edge over the other in certain situations. I do love the baitcaster for heavier baits and line near thick cover. Otherwise, I do feel like my spinning setups could handle most everything else i do. Getting line counter baitcasters for trolling was very beneficial this past year for salmon and trout on the great lakes.

    • @FishingwithNat
      @FishingwithNat  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I agree. I use a mix also but grab the spinning combos more often for the types of fishing that I do. Line counters are definitely nice for trolling.

    Admiditly I was always a stickler for the old school spincasters for ease of use. In my mind the spinning reel was the "manual vehicle" of fishing reels.
    Now that I've used them for a while, they are actually pure bliss given I can chuck lures WAAAY farther.
    Never used a bait caster.
    Up here in Saskatchewan, steel leaders with barrel swivvles already attached are standard fair.
    And a note for all: don't load braid onto a spincast reel... Trust me, I know.

    @TheJacobshapiro 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +8

    The main disadvantage of a baitcaster is simply that since the reel itself spins it has some inertia. This isn’t a huge deal with bigger lures but it’s the reason that until the recent surge in BFS/ultralight baitcast designs with super light and low-friction spools, it wasn’t really possible to fish a baitcaster with light lures very well.
    IMO, it makes sense to learn to use a baitcaster if you can afford to have multiple rods with each catering to different techniques. I prefer a baitcaster for topwater since I like being able to easily feather the line with my thumb to stop a cast in the perfect spot, and I rarely use lures lighter than 1/2oz for that kind of fishing. I still have spinning rods which I use for panfish and trout and lighter bass techniques like unweighted plastics.
    I think you’ve done a good job explaining the pros and cons of each type. Generally I think most beginners should start with a medium-power spinning setup (~2500 size reel or so) with a rod lure rating of something like 1/8 to 1/2 oz. That covers most basic freshwater techniques.

    Great and informative video as always, Nat! Personally, I've got a spinning setup, a small profile baitcaster, and a large levelwind on a heavy rod for catfish and sturgeon. I fish with my spinning setup 90% of the time though lol. It's just so easy to use and the most hassle-free of all the reel types!

    Been getting into high end spincast reels lately. For what I do I really like my zebco delta. It's whisper quiet, feels nice, and it's also got a nice casting distance for a spincast reel.
    There was also a big box of them for 30$ a reel at Ollie's and I had to pick one up.

Here in Michigan you get many different species. Funny, I’ve caught every major species in Michigan on that rod. Panfish, crappie, Both LM and SM bass, brook brown and rainbow trout, catfish, walleye, Northern Pike, and I’m sure I’m forgetting a few.

    Great video! I had something I hoped you could clear up though. I heard that spinning setups are better for lighter and easier fighting fish and that baitcasting reels are better for heavier and stronger fighting fish (as far as inland fishing goes.) Is this true? And if it is, why might that be? I can see how the lighter lures aren't as able to overcome the inertia of the spool on baitcasting reels as easily as heavier lures. But the inverse, heavier lures on spinning reels, wouldn't seem to have any issue because the line rises readily off the reel when casting. And if saltwater anglers use spinning reels as well, then there really wouldn't be any functional difference in using a spinning vs a casting setup, would there...?

    • @FishingwithNat
      @FishingwithNat  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      Some spinning reels (especially older models) do not have a lot of resistance in their drag systems, and therefore have trouble handling really big fish. Newer spinning reels are quickly advancing in this capability though. In the past, 14-pound mono was about as heavy as you would want to go on a typical freshwater spinning reel (size 40 or 4000/5000), but these days we have user-friendly braided lines that are a third of the diameter of equivalent monofilament line, so it's no longer an issue to put 30-pound+ line on a spinning reel. Reel manufacturers have responded by adding stronger drag systems to work with the stronger lines. Spinning reels do have more flex in their frames than baitcasters (especially when made of graphite rather than metals) but otherwise I think today's spinning reels can handle just about everything that a baitcaster can. It starts to come down to personal preference and the primary type of fishing that a person does. If you typically fish a lot of heavy cover with heavy lines, you might be better off with baitcasting setups. If you fish more finesse techniques or a target a wide variety of species and habitats, spinning gear is more suited to that. Some people also just prefer the feel of a certain type of reel. There's no wrong answer - both of those styles have their edge.

    • @FishingwithNat
      @FishingwithNat  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      There are many differences. A spincaster is mostly covered; a baitcaster is open. A spincaster works best with 4-10lb monofilament line; a baitcaster works best with 10lb or heavier line, including braided lines (some newer finesse baitcasters will work with light lines). Spincasters do not have a lot of drag power and are not meant to catch really large fish or be used on very heavy rods. Baitcasters are intended to fight large fish, throw heavy lures, and be used around heavy cover. Spincasters cannot be feathered when casting, which is where you put your thumb on the reel to slow down the line during a cast. Baitcasters are open, so you can put your finger onto the line. There are many other differences too.

    I bought a "high-end" spincast reel for my girlfriend-thinking it might be easier with her small hands. Ultimately, she stopped fishing and I quickly got rid of it via a trade. I don't remember what I traded it for but I got the better end of the deal regardless. I had a spinning reel once that no matter what I did to it, it would cause such horrible line twist. I just gave it away. But this was an aberration. With reasonable care and practices, a spinning reel is prolly the most flexible reel. I use baitcasters mostly when I simply need more "power."

    I think there is three other reels too like the only Quantum snap shots which did the line holding on spinning reels for your casting. I had one it last me a long time before the gears in just broke from being fragile & old. Lasted me about 10 to 12 years.
    The Shimano "quick-fire" which has the trigger like the Quantum but not a line holder for the cast.
    Last reel was like closed spinning reel but the trigger pull was placed in more a position where you would use your finger for the line.
    I had an easy time moving from spin casting over to the spinning reel thanks to that Quantum reel.

    Hey nat I have a question that I couldn’t find the answer to even on the internet. So my line snapped and after that my line got stuck under and through the reel and when I took off the spool of the spinning reel, the line was actually in a section below that beyond my access I really don’t know how this happened or why.

      The reel should be pretty well sealed beneath the spool, other than the spool post and gear/nut. It is definitely possible to get your line under the spool, especially if you were reeling during a sudden shock like when your line broke.

    • @FishingwithNat

      Spin your drag system knob all the way loose until the knob comes off. Then you can lift the line spool up and off. Your line is probably wrapped on the shaft underneath the spool. Untangle it, put the spool back on, and put the drag knob back on. Then make sure your drag is set properly before going fishing again.

    Isnt there like a type of baitcasting reel that reduces backlash with a certain mechanism?

    • @FishingwithNat
      @FishingwithNat  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      A lot of baitcasting reels have centrifugal braking systems and/or magnetic braking systems that help slow down the reel to reduce the risk of backlashes. As long as you get your finger back on the spool before the bait hits the water and you're careful when casting into the wind, you can use a baitcaster with very few backlashes.

    I just bought a Lew’s Xfinity SpeedStick IM7 6 ft 6 in Medium power fast action rod with a spinning reel, I’m thinking of putting a 20 lb braid (spider wire ) line as the main line then attach a 15lb fluorocarbon (seaguar) as the leader line. Would you recommend this? I’m new to fishing and this is something recommended to me by a friend. In my area it’s mainly bass, trout and catfish I’m hoping this rod as well as the lines are good enough for them. Looking forward to your input thank you so much.

    • @FishingwithNat
      @FishingwithNat  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Those lines will work well with your medium-fast spinning rod for catching bass and catfish, unless you're after really heavy cats or big bass in heavy cover (dense vegetation, fallen trees). Trout can be line-shy, so you might have to go to a lighter weight leader when targeting them. You could still use your 20lb braid as a main line, although it may not cast light trout lures very well.

      @@GotHooked24 That should be more than enough. If you're casting a lot, you might want to keep it to 18-24" so you can keep the leader knot out of your guides entirely between casts. Otherwise, any leader knot will tick a little bit against your guide which is annoying and can decrease your casting distance somewhat.

    i just got a fishtech telescopic rod with a spinning reel, went fishing in a reasonably shallow river and the line kept twisting up. my method is holding the line close to the rod with 4 fingers, and use my thumb to flip the switch and let go with a throw. my main problem is the line twisting around my spinner. any tips?

    • @FishingwithNat
      @FishingwithNat  13 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I think the line twist is probably caused by the current in the river and not your casting method. If a lure spins around in the current, it will very quickly twist your line and cause problems all the way back to your rod and reel.

    • @FishingwithNat
      @FishingwithNat  13 วันที่ผ่านมา

      The solution to that problem would be to use a swivel on your line to keep that twist from moving up your line.

    Ok, so that's why my spinning reel looks different! It's a spincast reel! I'm guessing the one in my family tree that has tried out fishing did it as a small hobby.. Maybe I should get a spinning reel then, so if someone in my family ever gets kids they might be pleasantly surprised if they ever take up fishing 😄
    Which would you say is the most versatile? I'm guessing one of the types in the middle like 2500/3000 and size 30? I'm not going to go out of my way to catch big saltwater fish but if I get a big pike or so on the hook, of course I want to be able to reel it in!

    • @FishingwithNat
      @FishingwithNat  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I started fishing this summer and got a cheap spinning reel and it was nice. A few days ago I spent about 200 dollars on a baitcasting reel and it feels like there some skill to using it. Took me maybe 2 hours to get comfortable with and it's way more satisfying to use. Might be because it's higher quality tho. I like that you can adjust the breaks on it so you basically yhrow light bait just as far as heavy bait. But the satisfying use is pretty importand to me since I spend 99% of the time just throwing and reeling back in. Haven't caught a fish in like 3 weeks:((((

      Spincast reels usually have a drag system dial on the top side - rotate it one way to tighten the drag and rotate it the other way to loosen the drag. The button does not replace the drag system - it just unlocks the spool the same way that flipping the bail over on a spinning reel allows line to freely come off of the spool.

      Did the reel come with line on it? The original line was probably cheap and probably had strong coils in it. I would replace the line - the reel is probably fine. More expensive reels tend to be smoother to reel in and last a lot longer. But your 25-dollar reel is probably just fine if you put better line on it. Try 6-pound monofilament line and I bet you'll have a better experience.

    What Can i catch with size 2500?

    • @FishingwithNat
      @FishingwithNat  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Just about anything. A size 2500 can handle pretty heavy line, especially with braided lines. I use my 2500s with 20-30lb braid as my general-purpose rods for bass, pike, carp, catfish, salmon, and even muskies. If I'm after panfish or small bass, I tend to use my 1000 sizes (a.k.a. size 20/25).

      how do i clean my shimano nexave 2500?

      @@DeepRelaxation941 I clean my reels with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth or soft toothbrush if needed. You can remove the spool and drag washers and clean those too. Dry off the reel and components when you're done and add some reel oil to the base of the spool shaft and inside the reel handle. I do use dedicated fishing reel oil but I don't buy special "fishing reel cleaner". I think simple soapy water does fine.
