I cast considerably more accurate with a bait caster. Plus, my landings are much quieter and more controlled with the bait caster. When i cast with a bait caster, I am for a position past where i want to hit, and thumb the wheel right above the area I want it to land it. The lure stops dead in the air, and if done correctly, drops maybe 2-3 inches. So i have zero horizontal velocity or force, and minimal vertical forces, so when the lure disrupts the surface of the water, it does so with minimal disruption. With other types of reels, I am unable to do that and therefore my lures make a large disruption when landing in the waters that I am fishing.

However, if I want the lure to make a completely vertical drop once the lure enters the water, I will use a spin caster to eliminate the swing-back effect of baitcasters and other non-free spooling reels.
