Thanks for the info. I'm going to but a Bait Castintg Reel and give it a try. Any good suggestions on a good first reel that is good for a starter but won't cost too much? I don't have a problem with paying more for good quality but just want something basic ti first get the feel of it.

Thanks all, and I am from NE Washington, DC right across the Hyattsville, MD line. I've been Fishing Fresh Water spots in the P.G. County MD areas and hit the Chesapeake Bay for Salt Water when at home. Also do a lot of Fresh Water Fishing in Ohio when I go to visit family.

Since I was an early teen I started using Spinning Reels instead of the older closed faced Bait Casting Reel that I first learned how to fish with as a kid. But these days I see most Pro's using the newer day Bait Casting Reels instead of the Spinning which I thought was supposed to be the better type of reel. Can anybody tell me the the difference between the 2 and which is supposed to be the better real? Been thinking of buying a new Bait Casting Reel to give them a try.

New to this forum and hoping to run into folks who know of Fishing Spots and tips for my area. I have been Fishing for 33 years now Fresh & Salt Water.
