If you are trying to catch panfish, crappie or trout, you need to use a light line and tackle so you may want to use spinning or spincast equipment.
But if you are chasing after muskies and double-digit bass, you may find it easier to haul in the fish with a baitcasting reel.
If your line or lures are heavier than this, a baitcasting reel is probably the best choice for you. If you like lighter tackles than this, opt for a spinning or spincast reel.
