I have been fishing for many years and use both a spinning and bait casting reels.  My preference is the bait caster.  As a kid, all I had was a cheap bait caster and I sharpened my teeth as it were on this type of equipment.  I had my share of frustration as a five year old dealing with back lashes as I called them. 

However, it did teach me patience and for that I am eternally grateful.  A funny story - my son who is now thirty five has taken up fishing and as it happens we were shopping for fishing equipment and we picked out a bait casting outfit for him at Bass Pro.  I also picked out an identical one for myself and I must say they were not the cheap models.  Anyway I just assumed he would be happy with it and didn't give a thought to showing him how to use it.  After his first fishing trip he asked me if I wanted it and said it came close to ending up at the bottom of the lake.  I tried to convince him to keep it and even offered to teach him to use it, but he wouldn't have any of it.  He said he wanted a Spin cast reel and that is what he now uses.  I must say he never has any problems with it.

Repying to Fifth Depot Lake - Waleye:

Sorry I can't help you on this issue, but if you don't mind can you tell me where this lake is.  I fish the area around Quinte often and would love to give it a go.  I would certainly let you know if I am lucky enough to land a Walleye.
