Were just gonna have to agree to disagree. work is slow so I'm gonna argue with you guys :p

Casting reels are very easy to be able to use proficiently with a little practice. They are easier to freespool with which is a big part of float fishing. They will quickly become more of a dream than a nightmare.

A situation I have seen multiple times before played its self out again last tuesday. We were fishing a hole for kings with floats and eggs. Everyone was using the beaumac style heavy floats except for one guy that was using a dink. Everyone in the hole hooked multiple fish except for that one guy who was fishing the same depth, good bait, and the same water. No need for a spinning rod with a heavy float like that. 

Its hard to find a good heavy spinning rod that casts well imo. I'd rather put the wood to a fish on a casting rod than play them to exhaustion with a spinning rod. They will still tear you up with a casting setup! (No offense fisherman83)

90% of the kings I have hooked this year have been in the *censored* and they know where every piece of wood in the river is.

No offence taken at all, I agree 100%.  I almost never use spinning setups anymore, the control and power of a casting rig is second to none!  Just have a hard time recommending one to somebody looking to get into fishing.
