My opinion is that it's just another tool. For example I have 2 wacky set ups. One on a 7.6MH cast 20lb braid which is primarily used when a jig or t-rig isn't working. 7.3M spin 12lb floro when I need to back off them further. I can get a 5" senko out about 40ft with the cast and about 60ft with the spin.
