Spinning or baitcasting reel?

Now I'm no pro but I prefer a baitcaster. I feel I recieve better feel and much eaiser cast. I mostly use spinnerbaits due to my stretches of time between fishing. My Pops uses a reel and prefers it for ease of use. He doesn't want to have to remember to stop the reel from spinning once the lure hits the water. Each his own but I just like the versitility of a baitcaster over a reel.

Hope this helps!

Maybe Rev can provide a little insight!
