I'll stay with spinning reels, I've been using them for lots and lots of years.

Baitcasters and level winds are not for me. Its not that I don't know how to use them, its that I don't like using them. They are awkward and uncomfortable for me. I do use large lures and use flashers off downriggers all the time and have no problems at all with spinning reels.

With the way I fish and what I fish for there is no way a baitcaster or level wind will help me catch/land more fish or make it any more fun.

I think with reels, use what ever you like using, use what ever you are most comfortable using and use what ever you have the most fun using.
