using Bait on a baitcaster?

 

 

 

Dear all,  

 

I hope someone can help a newbie here with baitcasters. Has anyone used baits ( herring, prawn, etc ) on a round baitcaster like a conquest 51 ? because i understand that baitcasters are usually used for casting lures .Just wondering if anyone has experience hooking baits instead of lures,  cast it out and wait. 

 

thnx

You can rig up whatever you like on it mate, whatever takes your fancy. The 'baitcaster' style reel was designed for casting, lots of it and more specifically single handed casting. Your right saying they are usually used for casting lures but there are no rules, tie on whatever you want and fish away!

thanks for all the helpful replies , I was getting a bit worried about its versatility compared to a spinning outfit.
