Only old timers use conventional gear. The only reason to use conventional gear is for yo-yo fishing with braided line; mono just doesn't have the sensitivity.
Spinning reels are better, except for Van Staal which might be made in China. Plus you'll be able to cast lighter plugs with spinning reels. It will be more difficult to catch large bass with plugs, but once you master the craft, you'll be one step ahead of any knuckle-dragging bait soaker.
