Conventional tackle has come a long way

I have fished with revolving spool for the better part of 20 years, never once did I wish for a spinning outfit. I can cast the smallest of baits or lures and the largest, I never had a problem with wind etc..I like conventional because there is no arguing the fact that it has superior fish stopping power and more overall control. all of my surf fishing was done with conventional tackle. Most people do fish spin gear and it is much easier, it takes time to master the other but in my opinion well worth it.

Like I said, the tackle has really come a long way and you can easily do anything with casting tackle that you can do with spin...The real plus is the overall control and fish fighting power..

Oh almost forgot, your original question, I would get the same distance as spin gear if not further...
