Use Spinning Reels for Finesse and Simplicity A spinning reel is usually better for light baits, finesse rigs, beginners, small swimbaits, wacky worms, Ned rigs, drop shots, panfish overlap, and clear-water bass
A bonus is the whole rig is heavy enough to cast on a baitcast combo

If there are baitfish offshore, you can expect predators to be there, too
