As an angler, you need to understand the baitcaster vs spinning reel pros and cons before making a decision

I prefer the 6000 series Abu Garcia reels for the vast majority of my fishing though I do use the 5500 C3 reels for channel catfish and at times the 7000 series reels for trophy blues and flatheads

Instead of the usual two opposing aluminum-alloy side plates, this reel is encased by a main plate and another, smaller one covering the main gear

But theres a wide range of gradation in between, and the choice of mono, fluorocarbon or braid makes a big difference in how much forgiveness youll want or need

Try the poppausepop rhythm with poppers , or a smooth, steady buzz with prop baits

Quality spinning gear with monofilament lines is a better option for a novice angler
