Conventional Casting
Conventional Casting

Would a Big Game conventional reel cast further than a big game Spinning Reel?
Sorry BC, I have to disagree with you. (TU's anyway, though)
Big Game conventional reels are not easier to cast and will rarely ever be able to cast as far as a Big Game Spinning reel.
Here is an example of a big game conventional reel that is considered cast-able:
1. Shimano, Speedmaster- http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_2228____SearchResults
Here is an example of a big game spinning reel:
1. Fin Nor OFS- http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_89192____SearchResults
Can a "modified" conventional reel cast further than a spinning reel? Yes.
(Non-Level Wind conventional reels win distance casting contests frequently.)
But, rarely do "off the shelf" conventional have a chance against a Spinner.....esp if that spinning reel is using a low diameter braid.
Hope this helps?
Hey Wormist- It's a bet! I'll meet ya in St. Augustine, Fl with my Penn 650 SSM spooled up with Power Pro 6/20 braid. We'll use a typical 4 OZ pyramid sinker. I can easily cast a 4 OZ sinker AND leader with baited hook about 100-120 yards. AND I don't have to slow a spool down with my thumb and hope I don't screw up....(lol).
To be honest, it's gettin cold here in MN and I'd love any excuse to go "home".....(LOL).
