Question...Which normal priced setup casts farther ? Spin or bait ?

For me, it’s casting gear, mostly because I greatly prefer it. Honestly, at the distances most fish, preference is really the key because both can deliver the goods provided rod, reel, and lure/bait are properly matched, along with good technique. A trained distance caster can cast either way further than anyone would care to fish, proving neither system is greatly restrained.

 

Weather tends to be an equalizer in this debate, though.

      With a spinning rod and 12 pound Gliss, I can cast a 1/2 oz RES into any tree from anywhere on the lake.

      For raw casting distance spinning tackle is the way to go. No moving parts, braking or thumbing involved.

      I’m not sure which cast further, but I do know for sure I cast up on to a tree more often on spinning gear.
