Dear Prof.
Whilst your argument is well thought through and typically well presented, there is one simple criterion that you appear to have missed, namely, that of ?lan.
I mean, lets face it, any cack-handed wannabee can buy one of them new fangled fixed spool monstrosities and call hiself a angler, can?t he?
Whereas is takes a certain style, a panache, a degree of flamboyance and self assured confidence for a *real* angler to master and handle a centre pin, doesn?t it?
Nope, despite all your logical arguments, mark my words, them fixed spool reel thingies will never catch on, never in a million years!
