What differentiates the two, if there is a difference?

    The most basic difference is a lack of casting brakes on a conventional reel. These are generally used for trolling and vertical jigging for saltwater applications.

    Huh.  I always thought a conventional didn't have a level wind.  This is based in nothing I've ever read; just sorta' assumed.  Dangit.

    I think you're also right.  Or at least I've assumed the same thing. :D

    That was always the way that I've understood it to.
