Very cool video. Why not use the PIN rather than casting gear.

To do it all over again I'd settle in BC.

Why not use casting gear. Its a preference thing.

 

If you have a float rod blank made into a casting rod and use a light low profile reel you can float fish great with one.

 

Most of the guys that try float fishing with a casting reel use a stiff rod and keep the spool tension way to high to drift properly. With the spool tension turned off and the mag brakes turned low you can drift great with them. You can even do hero drifts. With a proper float rod blank, modern reel, lighter line, and some skill you can even cast smaller floats.

 

Use whatever catches you fish and gives you the most enjoyment.

Play the first 30secs of the video...

 

Doesn't matter what form of reel they use, as long as it gives you a drag less drift.

Pump. She's a little cutie.
I'd fish with a hand line if she wanted.
