I work hard for a livin so holding a fishin pole is nothing to me.I never consider weight as a factor.The tool weighs what it weighs. I fish allnighters as a rule when i go out i get tired but I would never blame my equipment its not unusual for me to have a bag on long walks that weighs 15-25 lbs an i rarely take it off....I don't see how more leverage comes into play with a reel for the most part from the surf I use the rod for leverage an havin it in my right (stronger)hand is better for me.......As for casting better I would bet in the corse of a night Ur gonna have ur flareups an its gonna cost valuable time maybe 3-5 -10 casts u never know what ur missin...i used to throw jigs in the rivers buy me with conventional I thought it was cool,but mostly because of the line diameter i was usin 50-80 lb braids. but since i went to the spinning rods I am way more productive.I can let line out to drop the lure just as easy with my 706 as I could with any of my abu's or penns....Allright why do Slip,Newell Guy thats right Newell Guy, Jim Powers an many others Including Myself use spinning In the canal with 3-5 oz. jigs cause its easier.An the tackle doesnt get any stouter.I tried both ways for me Its a no brainer.
