Location: big cove tannery pa | Is there any spinningreel that can handle the big blades? I know you all wonder why but I am not very good at using baitcastors.
Thank u |

| There are very few baitcasters that can do it, let alone spinning reels, and even if they could I don't think you'd enjoy the torque it would produce. |

Location: oswego, il | Spinning reels pick up more line than alot of baitcasters but i would think leverage may be an issue. You would also need a pretty big spinning reel. You can alsways borrow one from somebody and try it but then you would need a rod to handle them as well. |

| I've used spinning reels to cast crankbaits while walleye fishing. I used to do this reeling against the current and would cast and retrieve rapala shad raps and reef runners in that fashion at the bottom of a set of rapids. There was quite a bit of resistance involved to get the lure to run deep, quick, and against the current. I wrecked a couple of reels awfully quick and assumed it was the brand (Quantum). I switched brands to Shimano and wrecked some more. I then switched to a baitcaster and didn't have any more problems. I was now using the right tool for the job. These crankbaits in current were nothing compared to the resistance of a double ten.
Sorry, there's no way around this one other than a baitcaster other than possibly some sort of huge surfcasting spinning reel and I've never tried such a thing. If the problem with baitcasters is birdsnests then set the cast control, but I'm sure you've already done that and it's just a personal preference thing. |

Location: Smith Creek | $200 for a baitcaster is cheap compared to the price of a spinning reel that could actually handle big blades.
Cheap saltwater spinning reel will cost $150. Good one will be $250 to $900.

Location: Iowa | You should look at Shimano's Bait Runner Series in the 4000 or 6000 series or the Okuma Avenger in the 50 or 65 series...they are both well proforming large capacity spinning reels that I have caught multiple paddlefish on (at least the Okuma's)
