Baitcaster vs Spinning set up - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Hey guys,

Im pretty comfortable with the bass set ups I have been running lately which are some 3000 size spinning reels, but I am interested in picking up a baitcaster.

Any reel pros to bay bass fishing with a baitcaster?

One of the things im concerned about is the versatility (or lack there of) of the baitcaster for the other fish in the bay. Sometimes I want to run a drop shot or carolina rig or have a second rod trolling while im moving around and jigging with my spinning reel. Is this still possible with a baitcaster? I know I can use those rigs with the spinning reel while jigging with the baitcaster but what If i want to troll with both reels as im moving around, is that possible with a baitcaster?

Thanks in advance!
