When I was a kid I learned how to fish with a button style fishing reel (spincast) After a few years I moved onto an open face type of reel (spinning reel) I never owned a baitcasting reel but thanks to a friend I was able to try one on several occasions. I was terrible at using baitcasting reels, the line constantly became a tangled mess.  Personally, I liked spinning reels because they were the most comfortable to us...

For those of you that carry a firearm while fishing, what do you carry and why? Is it for general protection or protection against local wildlife?
