SPINNING vs. CONVENTIONAL IN THE SURF

[DZ]

Ok - more on the serious side. True story: Shea Stadium in 1969, in between games of a Mets double-header (Remember doubleheader's?) there was a distance casting contest sponsored by Garcia-Mitchell Corp. I think there were 4 guys - two were using conventional reels (maybe Ambassadors) and two were using Mitchell 302 Spinning Reels. They were casting baseballs. The guys using the conventionals could cast the baseballs into the PARKING LOT. The spinning guys could barely reach home run territory. At the end of the demo they cast about 10 orange baseballs into the stands - whoever got one could turn it in for a complete surfcasting outfit of their choice. I didn't catch one. Numbskull - I was sitting high in the upper deck so it was a little too far to see if the spinning guys had enlarged breasts.

Longer distance and much better control/feel w/conv. My spinning reels rarely see the water.
