I almost lost a finger trying to get the braid onto the roller on my manual Penn 704 when a fish started taking line. I would advise against paying out line on a manual spinner.

That's exactly how I used the Orca baitrunner reel.
Without a doubt if you are going to drift the jig out by letting line off the spool , it way easier with a conventional.
