I've definitely noticed a surge of spinning reels in the ditch in the past few years. I am guilty of using a penn squidder conventional on an old 10" harnell blank. Nothing like the 1 to 1 ratio of a squidder. Have been straying away from that though, as I have an 8 ft All Star paired with an Abu 7000 I use with light jigs now 1.5-3oz. There is still a place in my heart for the harnell and 3-5oz. canal jigs. Normally tip my jigs with a red pork rind, but have had success with white sluggos and chartruese curly tail grubs. Go with the spinner though, especially if you want to use braid. Would love to have a VS myself....lil jealous.
