We use conventional because we fill the conventional reels with mono rather than braid, easier to handle, safer for the wireman, and because it's easier to attach a safety line to the rig, with the ringed rod clamp.

Also, worst comes to worst, we can hook a harness to the lugs, which we can't do with the spinners.
