Basic gear nomenclature:
Conventional = Revolving spool, often called baitcasters when reels are used for surf fishing and some boat fishing. Heavier conventional boat reels are often called, boat reels
Spinning = Fixed Spool, usually used in nearly any style but not always so good for heavy duty fishing boat or surf. Certainly easier to use with less learning curve than a conventional reel.
Most well tuned conventionals will usually out cast most spinning reels in all but the lightest weights in practical situations - not talking competition but talking the surf...
