Baitcaster vs Spinning set up - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

The baitcaster can give you trouble with backlash (bird’s nest), if you are not familiar with how to cast them. No matter how much experience you have with them, you WILL get backlash at times.

However, baitcasters with clicker can be a great second rod rig while trolling.

If you want the same feature, you need to get a “baitrunner” spinning reel. They are however, much quieter.
