Ogajiga Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 Never tried one but my bud John in PA recommends them for better accuracy and distance casting of all things...1/32 jigs! In fact, he's sending me a Daiwa Goldcast(1/2 price sale at Sportsman's) on his dime with his fave 5# Tectan. I always thought spin casters were for kids or guys who never graduated into "real" spinning or baitcasting gear. Anyone else spin casting because its actually a superior design for certain applications? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Bait Co. Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 I used to I had the older Abu Garcia's. They were a maroon color with a star in the handle for the drag. I most of caught a thousand fish on the three I had. I used them so much they wore out. Then I had got a couple of the new style of Abu Garcia's the silver with the drag ring thing. They were total junk the drag was always screwing up the handles would fall of. Once I changed the line in the they were toast. So the old owner of the tackle shop cut me a deal on a new Daiwa baitcaster now I own seven. On the other reels if you can find a good one like the old Abu Garcia's I would throw them. The only reason I went with baitcasters is the drags and craftsmen ship had gone it the crapper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
