Saltwater Baitcaster
I'm ready to purchase a saltwater baitcaster and was wondering what others are using and would recommend?
Re: Saltwater Baitcaster
The fish dont care what you reel them in with! buy what you can afford, or go to Dick's and get one of there 29.99 - 59.99 ones. Good line, good lures = lots of fish!
Besides, you probably got fish just jumpin in that cool kayak you got!

This first question is why a baitcaster. Developed by the devil IMO

They are great for working shorelines, you can stop the lure on a dime by stopping the spool with your thumb!Rik wrote:This first question is why a baitcaster. Developed by the devil IMO

Re: Saltwater Baitcaster
My normal kayak arsenal consists of 2 Calcutta baitcasters and 2 spinning rods.
I always use a baitcaster for topwater, and the other is usually rigged with a spoon. The spinning rods are used for soft plastics.
I've used the Calcuttas for 10+ years with no problems, they're not the lightest, but they're pretty much bulletproof.
The small 100 series is perfect for inshore action. To keep them spinning free, clean the spool bearings occationally with acetone & lubricate with 1-2 drops of RemOil.
