Hey Ken.
Maybe it's not such a big deal for those of you who can remember to hit that darned button every time, and not manage to accidentally bump the crank between shots (resetting the button).

They all have pros and cons. That's why most of us have at least one set of each type.

I love my Retreiver for general recreational bowfishing, especially from the bank or wading, but put me on a boat where I have a (distant) chance of winning back some gas money and I'm all over that spincast...and it's backup. [:-]
