I'm sure someone out there does both.

I learned to fish with my ScoutMaster's Johnson over 40 years ago. I soon
learned the pitfalls of the closed face reels (too numerous to list here),
and quickly discovered the Mitchell 300 series. I switched the 308 and its
solid dependability with light lines, and still use them. (but always stock
a spare bail-return spring when using those old Mitchells)

The early Johnsons were probably the best of their type at the time.
