man, are you wrong. Some of those "pros" are stuffing 20 lb. test in
Zebco spincasters, and tightening the drag all the way, and whipping
the guys who have baitcasting reels

Name them. Don't quote the article referenced below. It's about ONE guy
doing something totally different, who is forced to use an oddball
discontinued reel (not a common zebco spincast reel as you intimated) to
use very light lures in very heavy cover. And guess what -- there are
hundreds of pros out there using casting and flipping gear to present
similar lures. Further, as soon as he switches to heavier lures, you can
be Mr Yurko switches to casting gear.

You keep mentioning distance, but casting distance is very close to
being irrelevant in bass fishing. I probably fish farther from my quarry
than most bass anglers, and have no problems reaching them with casting
tackle -- and I'm not even close to the most skilled caster I know.

I'm done. I do not suffer fools gladly, and have grown quite weary of
arguing with one. It's apparent by the amount of time you have invested
in this thread that you are in serious need of a life. I, on the other
hand have one, and the time I'm willing to take from it for this matter
has expired.
