Also, when jigging with the baitcaster, it's annoying to switch back and forth between hands to give it a few cranks to tighten the slacked line, whereas in the spinning set up, your hand is already on the handle to adjust the tension if necessary. Don't get me wrong, I love baitcasters, I have Shimano Calcutta 700S and 400B and Penn International 975 and 965. I use them for lures, plugs etc...but not for squidding though. I found it to be slow and cumbersome.
