Spinning or baitcasting reel?

I always go with spinning gear, Andrew. It's what I grew up with and I'm comfortable with. After thousands of hours fishing (I grew up on a lake and spent my every waking hour in or on the water for lots of years) I just learned to make spinning gear do for me what baitcasters were supposed to do.
That was then, though, and this is now. Baitcasting stuff has come a long, long way since I was a kid. After these two threads, you've got me wanting to try some baitcasting gear again.

It's not a huge investment, give it a shot. You can always sell or gift the gear if it doesn't work out. Plus, you can always go back to spinning gear.
I look forward to seeing the stuff you end up shopping.
