I would say the conventional setup makes it easier to pay line out and still keep contact with your jig if you need to employ the dropback method like you do in a few places. Stroth, you are correct in saying the line quality has somewhat equalized spinning versus conventional . Given identical blanks, though, the other advantage in my mind with conventional is that a conventional rod typically employs a collector guide that is closer to the reel, and thus closer to the strongest part of the rod. IMHO, this would give you a rod of greater strength versus a spinning setup that typically features a collector guide placed further up the blank.
