Need a baitcaster....
that I can put on a light baitcasting rod, and throw light weight
lures - like 1/4 oz max. I've been fishing small streams most the summer, and have found
I can cast much more accurately w/ bait cast (ie in to / along brush
than I can w/ spinning gear. I've been using my "regular" weight
rods and reels, but am now looking for something lighter.Recommendations? Thanks Jim |

| Never heard the words "light" and "baitcaster" used in the same sentence.... |

| Dave Willhide and Hammer can both cast light poppers on baitcasting reels as
far and as accurately as I can with spinning tackle. Hammer uses a Shimano
Curado 200BSF. Not sure what Dave was using when I fished with him. Joe
Scmidt also does pretty well. He also uses the 200BSF, but I know Joe also
tweaks his reels and relubes them with Hot Sauce every outing. |

| Shimano Scorpion, light lures are real easy to cast. I have 4 of them and
can throw just about anything with them |

| I can throw 1/8oz. Rattle Traps 120' with my Daiwa Pixy and Megabass
F0-60X Elese combo. The secret is to stick with light line (I use 4#
Yozuri Soft). A Pixy on a ML rod that's rated down to 1/8oz makes a
great replacement for a spinning rig. I cast a 1/16oz Aile Goby almost
100'. Anything over 1/4oz seems heavy to me. |
