Again, the answer is yes, but you’ll want to use your spinning tackle selectively. The key is to use a spinning reel for your lightweight crankbait, and if you have the option, use a baitcasting rig for your heavier lures. But you’ll want to have both baitcasting and spinning gear if you’re serious about fishing.

Q. What action do you want for crankbaits?
One effective way to fish crankbaits is to run them into structure, like a submerged log. With a stiffer action rod, the lure is driven into the log with more direct force, while a softer action will allow you time to feel the log thump so you can stop your retrieve for a second and then continue to reel in again.
Q. How do I choose a crankbait?
To most effectively fish a crankbait, you need it to periodically contact structure. To do that, you should whenever possible opt for a crankbait that runs slightly deeper than the water you are fishing. If you’re fishing a breakline that drops into 5 feet of water, you should choose a crankbait that runs 6 feet deep.
Q. What kind of line do you use for a chatterbait?
Most chatterbait rods will have a medium/heavy power rating so you need a line of at least 14 lbs fluorocarbon or 30 lbs braid. When working this type of water you really need a line that can handle being dragged through thick vegetation and to that end braid is usually the go to choice.
Q. Can you throw a ChatterBait on braid?
The sensitivity is second to none. But it will take a little getting used to at first and you’ll be prone to setting the hook on limbs and snatching the bait away from a fish on the initial pass. But if you’re like me, you’ll find that braided line is the perfect accessory to a ChatterBait.
Q. What line do you use for lipless crankbaits?
Fluorocarbon line
Q. What is the best line for topwater fishing?
When it comes to walking topwater baits, both monofilament and braid will work. “I use 15-pound PF Original for a lot of my topwater baits. It won’t break and still casts very well,” says Arey. “I also like that it has very little memory and still has a little bit of stretch.
