Its not necesarily the retrieve but he wants to be able to imitate stripping his line back, and the spring wound reel retrieves very quickly. He can't imitate a little 4 inch strip like a minnow. It doesn't mean he's not catching fish either though he landed a 23 inch brown out of the red deer this summer on his spring wound. Thanks for the input gents
