Spinning reels aren't "simpler" than baitcasters

Been using both for years and gotta say - baitcasters are actually simpler in operation. Push button, throw, done. But spinning reels? Hold the line with your finger, check the bail position, flip it, cast, release, flip back, reel in... plus those dreaded wind knots! Sure, they're more forgiving for beginners, but "simpler"? What's your take on this? #fishing #SpinningReel #Baitcaster #FishingGear

Did I wreck my first baitcaster? 🎣

Got my first baitcaster (Zillion) and immediately started messing with every knob like a kid with a new toy. Turns out you're NOT supposed to touch the tension knob on these - they come factory set! Tried to fix it based on YouTube videos but still feels off. Everyone says Zillions are amazing, but mine's been nothing but frustration. Anyone else made this mistake or have tips? #fishing #baitcaster #zillionreel #fishinggear #fishingtips

🎯 Baitcasters accuracy is unreal

Most of my fishing happens offshore or deep around bridges, so I usually rely on spinning or conventional setups. But whenever I’m working tight spaces—under docks or deep into mangroves—I always reach for my baitcaster. The control and accuracy are next level. With enough time on the reel, you can legit knock a soda can off a dock across the canal. Anyone else still loyal to baitcasters for precision work? #fishing #FishingGear #Baitcaster
