I caught fish with both of them. I'd switch to spinning gear when it got too wndy to cast the fly effectively. I generally use floating line. IN the surf and around the rock, I have more control of the line. It also suits the style of fishing I do, which is often time very slow, letting the current provide the action to the fly. If I want to fiah deeper, I'll put some split shot on the leader or add a shooting head. This way, I can still manage the line and stay in touch with the fly. It's basically trout fishing stuff transferrred to saltwater.
