the story as, I have always seen it:

NOT GOING TO ARGUE, SPINNERS HAVE A PLACE. BUT, A REEL THAT I GREW UP THINKING AS A 'STEPPING' STONE TO WORKING ON BEING A TRUE TACKLE HANDLING ANGLER IS NOW THE MAIN STAY, DO ALL REEL, FOR SO MANY PEOPLE. (as I spoke of in south Florida Culture)

HAVE ALWAYS THOUGHT OF A SPINNING REEL AS ONE USED BY BEGINNERS/NOVICES, THAT DON'T WANT TO TAKE THE TIME TO LEARN ANY ''TRUE ANGLING SKILLS''.  IT WAS SEEN BY ME AS AND SOLD AS THE WAY TO FISH.......BY PUSHING THAT EZ BUTTON❗❗

AS WITH EVERYTHING TODAY. THINGS GO SO FAR OFF TRACK. THERE'S $1,500 SPINNING REELS. FOR PEOPLE WHO WOULDN'T EVER CARE TO HAVE A ''''''''''EDUCATED THUMB''''''''''',  AND HAVE SKILLS OF USING EVERY KIND OF TACKLE OUT THERE, IS OF NO CONCERN TO THEM.
(EZ BUTTON....AGAIN)

I SEE SPINNING REELS USED WHEN IT'S SO BLATANTLY OBVIOUS THAT A LEVELWIND CASTING REEL IS A MUCH BETTER CHOICE. (example: float-rig fishing, bottom fishing in NE Florida!) 

WHEN I WAS GROWING UP IN THE FISHING WORLD, I LOOKED UP TO FISHERMEN WHO HAD BIG TIME BAITCASTING SKILLS. BECAUSE THEY NEVER NEEDED OR USED SPINNING REELS.
(from surf casting to bass fishing tournament anglers) BUT, I'M OLD SCHOOL, AND HAVE BEEN TAKING PRIDE IN CASTING WITH A EDUCATED THUMB. JUST LIKE A FLY FISHERMAN, THEY ENJOY THE TACKLE AND TECHNIQUES USED. ITS PART OF THE SPORT.

YOU CANNOT GET AWAY FROM THE IDEA THAT THEY ARE ''OBTRUSIVE'', LARGER GUIDES, THAT SPOOL, THAT BAIL.  WHEN STORING AND HANDLING TACKLE, A CONVENTIONAL / BAITCASTING COMBO IS MUCH LESS ''OBTRUSIVE''.
