Tried again to fish a high end heavy spinning outfit this year (ZB25/SSU120MH, built with titanium guides to minimize weight). The drop off in sensitivity when compared to a conventional outfit (400TE/1205) is shocking. If you want to fish large plugs well, and enjoy doing it......then unless distance, retrieve speed, or water immersion are your primary concerns, conventional tackle is worth mastering. The drags on any decent reel can be tweaked to handle any bass you are likely to hook.
