In a straight answer, absolutely not. I've seen some avoid anglers still casting with a spincast and landing bass weigh in at least 3-4 pounds. It all comes down to personal preferences. At this one time, roughly 3 years ago, I went to visit an online friend in Bear County, Idaho. We went for a spin at the Bear lake. His grandpa joined us and to my utmost surprise, landed more fish than us using a Spincast reel.
