As far as the spinner goes , I can't help but wonder if the guys who go every day and are good at it wouldn't be landing some 50's instead of 30's oif they had the conventional reel. I'd be willing to bet they are occasionally hooking huge fish like 50's but just not getting them in on spinners.

How many Fifties do U know of landed on a jig in the canal during a good pace say 4.4 kts of current.the place is brutal an chances are thin in the current of landing a big fish evrythings gotta go right...The main reason I use a convetional is it handles thicker line better.but in the canal with depths of 35-50 ft an 4-5 kt currents thick line don't get down.Tell me how Newel guy had any chance with the same line of landin the fish he lost last yr in the canal with the conventional.i wasn't there but from what he told me he did all he could.the reel just holds the line U whip a fish with the rod.the 1209 because it is so dstiff may be tough to cast with with a conventional U don't load it u kinda whip the jig out there.Saltheart U been fishin there alot longer than i have I'm sure u know more than me I could be wrong.I just think when it comes to 50's in the canal,jiggin u gotta have some good karma conventional or spinning an thats what i'll make alll the difference.
