I prefer baitcasters, but my favorite lures are small inline spinners. (Too light). This has been my compromise. It’s kinda silly but has been wildly effective.

Love throwing my preferred setup with my most successful lure. I fish filthy, highly pressured rivers near Chicago.

Standard size and big stuff doesn’t even get touched.

Rooster tails, Mepps, Panther Martins, even some of the generic multipacks at Walmart do well.

Happy fishing! Hope this inspires someone who is in a similar situation. If you’re creative, you can fish finesse baits on baitcasters.

Also yes, I know about BFS, I like to keep it simple and low budget for the most part. No more sub genres of fishing lol.
