A quality reel can greatly improve your casting distance and accuracy, whether it is baitcast reel or spinning reel, it will make fishing a lot more fun.LOW-PROFILE BAITCAST REELS are favored more by expericenced bass fishermen. Such are the Abu Garcia Revos, Daiwa Excelers and others. These reels are contoured to fit the hand, making them extremely comfortable to use. Low-profile baitcast reels have fast retrieve ratios and are well-suited to fishing spinnerbaits, crankbaits, jerkbaits and topwater lures. The more expensive models features more sophisticated braking systems to reduce backlashes.
SPINNING REELS in the other-hand have a larger diameter spool and a smooth drag system. Such reels are Daiwa Exceler 1500, Abu Garcia Cardinal, Pflueger Medalist and others. Due to their superior ability to handle light lines, spinning reels excel in clear waters, making them an ideal choice of many anglers here in southern California. Many anglers use spinning reels spooled with 6-10 pound flourocarbon line paired with a stiff rod for finesse fishing soft plastic lures.
Both reel styles have their pros and cons. Baitcast reels, while prone to backlash, are more accurate than the spinning reels. The spinning reels can cast light lures farther than the baitcast reels but can cause line twist.

You right that some baitcasting reels are more comfortable to hold, but they also require a lot more work and practice in order to get the most out of them. But this is why they are more fun than spinning reels =)
