I’ve actually made it a point to try to integrate spinning tackle more consistently into my fishing, both to test its limits and because there are certain situations where it provides a distinct advantage over baitcasting gear. I tested spinning reels over the past year on bass from Michigan to Mexico, as well as in saltwater, but mostly on the rivers of the mid-Atlantic. How We Picked the Best Spinning Reels for Bass Best High Speed: Abu Garcia Revo Rocket.Best for Brackish Water: Penn Clash II 3000.
Best High-Speed: Lew’s HyperMag HMS 300.Best for Long Casts: Shimano Vanford VFC4000XGF.Here are my picks for the best spinning reels for bass: Now I actually look forward to chasing big fish with an eggbeater reel. Once I learned to tie an effective FG (fine grip) knot, I found I could spool my spinning reels with thin-diameter braid and top them off with a leader of ultra-premium fluorocarbon, giving me the best of both line types. My recognition of their value came while chasing rampaging yellowfin tuna in Panama and big salmon in Alaska-if the spinning reels can tame these beasts, there’s no reason they can’t be used effectively on a 4-pound smallmouth or 5-pound largemouth. They’ve reduced bugaboos like line twist while substantially improving drag systems and reducing overall weight. That’s too bad, because modern spinning reels, especially but not exclusively the higher-end models, are functional works of art. Nevertheless, some bass anglers refuse to use anything but a baitcaster. They particularly excel for finesse techniques like dropshotting, Ned rigging, and wacky rigging, and their resistance to backlash means that they’re excellent for skipping under docks and overhanging brush. Even the most stubborn, hard-core power bass fishermen have learned in recent years that spinning reels for bass have their place.
