Im more to spinnin cause it is more “forgivable” in terms of mistakes. Wanted to venture into baitcastin however mostly are right handle which im not comfortable..
But havin said tat i think i wud still stick to spinning in order not to complicate life!!

bro..again if you havent try it before..how you knwo which is the best…like us..first we started fishing with bamboo..the upgrade to rod and reel..and first we fishing in longkang/drains/small streams then we tried rivers and lakes..nodays we fishes in paypond or sea fishing…so.i guess its better for us newbies open for changes…absorb as as much tips we can from the sifu..learn and continue to learn…just coz we never tried it..it doesnt mean that its not better…my point..baitcaster is tempting..but..if you see the cost..its consired high end fishing…the pro’s,one you master the art of baitcaster..you can cast further and more acurate…this comes handy when you lure casting…baitcaster is more apporiate when you target predetory fish species like toman,haruan, sebarau etc..
spinning reel more appriote for pond/botton fishing but..you can also do luring…i could be wrong..you dont see people do botton fishing with baitcaster…putting them in rod holderwhile waiting for fish to bite seems odd…

Agree wif u bro, i happen to have a chance to try my friend baitcaster..few tries i cudden achieve the distance and i few kaku laa..so as i mention i stick to spinnin lorr..
To fish or not to fish, tat is da question
Well guys, this is quite a hard question that can be answer.. Some choose Honda instead of Toyota.. Baitcast or not, Spinning or not.. Depends on each individual feeling, I suppose..
Spinning reel for example, has a sound of “Heaven’s lyric” that baitcaster is missing off… (You get what I mean).. The "clicking sound when something big in the water had taken your bait.. The sound even better when you use reels around 500 seriess to 1000 series.. using it fighting a monster while listen to the “noise” the reel made, !!! GOD THIS IS HEAVEN!!!
Baitcaster, a complicated and expensive yet exotic reels.. Just like Lambo, Ferrari, Zonda, Aston Martin, Merc, and BMW… The sense of passion that we, anglerz choose to own one at least.. It cast like a dream and the smooth sound of the “V8” line “accelerating to the target zone”.. Just like we press our foot down in the highway.. And not to mention, you can feel some kind of “Angler’s Aura” when using it…
So depend on you guys too… For me, I will use it to match the fishing condition..
Cheers~~

both have their own functional pros n cons.
i dun think it’s just about the feel.
for me, i choose which to use according to situation.
bc reels offer some things that spinning reels don’t, n spinning reels also offer some things that bc reels don’t.
so have good spinning reels, n bc reels. hehe.

spinning reels can be used for those predatory species too.
n i have seen many times, ppl using bc reel for bottom fishing, putting them on the rod holder n all. in fact, those ppl nvr do lure fishing at all.

dun think it’s about feeling. for me, it’s functional.
btw, some baitcasters can sing pretty loud n beautiful songs for u when fish-fighting too.

" … for me, i choose which to use according to situation."
One example is if you do a lot of bottom fishing - some people at the pay ponds call it " parking " - a bc is a pain simply because it always wants to turn upside down.[xx(]
yea me too all have their own function la… including fly casting
each have their own distinctive advantages over the other… there’s no rule stating which will reign supreme over the other
for example, using a bc in open water n open space offers great distances, accuracy and speed, however at an enclosed area spinning would be better off with easy casting ability and wide range of casting method in close quarters, but casting in a highland stream for small fishes with clear wide open space a spinning tackle bc tackle would probably lose to fly casting in terms of fishing results… however it doesnt matter, they can all be used… just like a bc u could use in a small stream casting big plug scaring all the tiny fishes or fly casting to cover an open reservoirs too… just tat its not as suitable as the other
last but not least… if u could enjoy fishing to the fullest, what bother whether wat tackle u r using?
so lets go fishing and cheers guys… just my opinion… novice here still got lots to learn
Novice angler here, any constructive advices greatly appreciated. Thank you
i might be wrong here..you could also try spincast rod..shot handle rod which would be ideal to cast with 1 hand but its quite hard to find this type of rod or very limited stock in malysia…
this would match perfectly with your spinning reel…[:D]

the baitcaster came before the spinning reel. the spinning reel/egg-beater/threadliner was a newer concept to overcome the limitations of the baitcaster, however, it itself had introduced newer problems. line twists, and the inevitable wind knots.</font id=“red”>
in a baitcaster, the line peels off from a revolving spool when a cast is made. when the speed of the spool is faster than the line peeling off the spool–> bird’s nest! 3 factors play a part here; i.e an educated thumb, brakes(magnetic, centrifugal, combination, digital control) and spool tension. proper adjustment of the 2 and educating your thumb prevents birds-nesting. it is preventable. some people i fish with have never had this problem at all.
in a spinning reel, line peels of a stationary spool when a cast is made. casting distance is influenced by diameter of line, weight of lure, power put into the cast, diameter of guides etc. the trajectory of the lure cast is different from the trajectory of a lure cast with a baitcaster. as the line spins out of the fixed spool, twists are formed. when line is reeled back onto the spool, twists are formed again, which may be reduced with a good bail arm line roller. inevitably, line twists form and may weaken your line. when repeated casts are made, the twisted line when leaving the spool, twist upon itself (especially when using ultralight lures) thus causing wind knots.
spinning setups are favorable in many conditions as they are easier to cast. open bail arm, hold the line with ur index finger and whack! good for quick-draw fishing like sight fishing for toman.
in jigging, spinning setups are favored because the jig free falls better, and faster, giving a more erratic action on the drop, easier to work the jig as the thumb is not required to lay the line as on jigging baitcasters. also, spinning setups are more stable when fighting fish as the load is below the rod, unlike a baitcasting setup where guides are above the rod where it tends to twist downwards (can be stabilised by using a spiral configuration)
accuracy wise, the BC is said to be better. in trained hands, it will outcast a similar spinning setup in terms of distance and accuracy. it allows for finesse presentations, and feels more confident when winding fish in as there are less moving parts involved (no rotor turning around)
i use both spinning and BCs for my fishing. i always set up a pair of them whenever i’m casting lures for toman/sebarau, jigging, bottom, etc… when the condition favours one over another, i switch.
for crankbaits, i solely use the BC. for topwaters and sinking pencils, i use both depending if it is distance i am after, or accuracy.

another will be spincast reel… google it and check it out mate
Novice angler here, any constructive advices greatly appreciated. Thank you
Below 10 gr. lure , I use spinning n 11 ~ 25 gr. lure I use baitcasting , heavier than that back to spinning again .
Jon .
It’s not what you don’t know that gets you into troubles , it’s what you know for sure that ain’t so . Mark Twain .
i see there is a certain presumption that BC reels cost more than spinners.
Q:
a) how much do you expect/want/prefer BCs to cost compared with spinners?
b) what is your definition of expensive/cost more?
for ±RM160, one can get an ABU 503ALBi which is pretty good or a cardinal for mebbe RM200+ (correct me if i’m wrong) onwards.
shimanos have their low (say from RM75 onwards), mid- (say RM300-900+ onwards) and high end range.
tomman, seahawk, ajiking, etc offer many (relatively) cheap reels.
ABU MAX series LPBC reels are available from RM150/160 onwards, if i remember correctly.
i (re-)started off with a ciplak shimano FX (RM55) and ABU ultracast (RM110) - plan to get better reels (end result or reality is a different story la [:p]).
both reels delivered - however, the (ciplak) shimano started emitting ‘klak-klak-klak’ sound on retrieve after a fight with a toman or two last august [:D]
comes back to your needs/wants. research, do homwework, then work harder to get 'em [:D]
speaking of which, mebbe some of the round BC fans can give us more insight [^]
bro..i agree..get something ciplak first..use it puas-puas and put it thru abuse and test it,if you like it…then move to the higher model..i learn to crawl before walking and learned to walk first before running…best advise i got from sifu..step by step…take it slowly..dunt rush and enjoy every second of it (same like fighthing a fish)hehe..sifu wong…you thoughts please…
