Which Do You Prefer..........

[Lawdog]

In a baitcaster, which do you prefer?

1.]  Low Profile

2.]  Round

I know for me the round doesn't feel right.  I prefer to palm my reel while fishing and fighting a fish.  I also prefer a pistol grip rod to a trigger for spinnerbait and buzzbait fishing.  Lawdog

I use both round and low profile depending on the situation.  I also rarely use a pistol grip.

The vast majority of my reels are ABU's with 7 Chronarchs in the mix.  I mostly use the Chronarchs for worming, light crank baits, and light spinnerbaits.  Of the ABU's several are the low profile 3600 version, but they are still round.  The smaller round reels are a little faster and lighter, but on regular crank baits, I still like the full sized reels.  4600's.
