Just my personal preference (casting style etc) but when I'm trying to go for maximum distance my vs just doesnt get it done for me.

I go to an emblem with the tall spool to get the most distance I can get (topwater/tin), rod is an xra1322. Jigging I go with an allstar 1208 with an abu 7000 series reel . In both of those cases Ive got no intention of swimming or dunking a reel.

If theres a remote chance(wetsuit) that I'm going to be wading deep, taking waves or swimming I go with my vs.

Again just personal preference but I'd rather jig with a conventional dropping back and adjusting depth is easier with one thumb movement (disengage pay out line thumb the spool, pay out line get where I want engage) opposed to physically taking the line off the roller getting to where you want to drop back to, then placing it back on the roller (crap missed a hit putting it back on the roller)

In the end both the reels you mention will get the job done period end of story. Its just going to be a case of what you find to be most comfortable for the way you cast/fish etc.

Domination takes full concentration..
