No, just makes fishing more work than it needs to be.( Babylonian )
High end spin with a good backboned rod is more multifunctional.
Poppers,swimmers,jigs,needles, sluggos, ron z's, eels, etc.
You've seen what I use, that stick throws great and will handle just about anything in there and let me fish pretty much any way I want.
And I used to be a conventional for almost everything kind of guy.
Still love it on the boat, bait fishing the surf and when I want a change of pace and reminisce.
The one big advantage I liked in the canal was the ability to feather and drop back a jig, eel or shad in the current for longer bottom time. Though you would have to reel in like an organ grinding capuchin monkey to avoid the hang ups.
