A lot of this comes down to you, your preference; your fishing style. There are plenty of HB's and techniques that I don't enjoy working on a spin outfit either, but plenty that are fine. Both tackle choices have their spot on a fishing boat, be it reef or barra. The spin takes over where ultra small/light lures are fished, or where simplistic casting methods are required to attain a suitable cast length, or for max cast length............not to briefly mention again the essential need for speed on hooked fish. Why do bream anglers mainly use spin outfits to cast their tiny presentations? Why don't we see baitcasters as a trend here? This is just a guess, but maybe you haven't fished ultra tiny barra lures yet, hence why you find baitcasting equipment more suitable. With heavy lures, yea, i'd nearly match cast length with my baitcasters and spin outfits, but when you scale down, the real game begins.
