I tend to not over-complicate things here. Light weight lures generally favors spinning. With heavier lures, generally, baitcast is better. When fishing species that require a lot of line and casting spinning is the way to go. I can control a worm or bass jig better with baitcasting, and prefer to use it with one, but I can use a larger spinning setup just fine with a worm and a heavier rod. I tend to use a spinning rod 65% of the time as I tend to crappie fish and use a lot of 4" grubs for river bass. To me the way you fish and what you fish with will tend to guide you what to use. If you don't have a baitcaster, and you fish a lot, you owe it to yourself to get at least a mid grade setup.
