Chrisitan - judging the book by its cover - I wouldn't hold that thinking about the conventional too dear. Granted a lot of good & top anglers use them and they offer a lot of advantage to the surf angler, I do know a lot of top gus that fish spinning and I know a lot of guys on conventional that couldn't catch a cold standing outside in underoos all this week.
Too many people by this gear or that gear trying to look the part then someone strolls up with an old squidder or a green coffee can and put's the high end geared people to shame - happens...
Bloo good - debate. And I don't think it's meant to disrespect anyone, just showing respect of the fisherman not the individual...
Still key to me above all else - putting one's time in and improving as you go along.
