    They are just not made for it. Not enough spool capacity for deep stuff and typically high gear ratios for fast retrieves. Sure you could use one but you won't see a commercial boat ever use one. A fixed spool reel with enough balls to winch up half ad pound of lead plus a 30kg fish (who usually doesn't want to) is not really an option (considering what else is available).
    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds
