Of course... the point to be clear is a Spinner with enough mono. holding capacity (& cranking power) to comfortably fish 25 lb. test mono...
The expense of a VS for this not necessary (just a ref. for size & what I use): same could be accomplished with the right Penn or Crack (or Shimano if you don't mind holding an anchor while you fish

or certain others! (or for those adept enough of course Conventionals)
