One can cast a line counter reel

[MisterCompletely]

It seems really crazy now, but I learned on a baitcasting reel when I was little, and baitcasting reels were all my Dad owned, so I didn't know any better. Later we used big "trolling reels" as we call them here in Utah, for catching the big stripers in the Sacramento River, and we cast them a long distance from the bank all the time. I didn't even own a spinning reel until I was 12. Even now at age 53 I will still use those big Penns for big fishing sometimes, but you shouldn't ever try to cast lead-core line, at least not very far. It ain't worth it!
