Yep. I think the same about spinning rods, which many of us grew up fishing with and caught the fool out of fish with.

Then we got older and the baitcaster was cool and how to be a "real fisherman." So we put down the "fairy stick" and "little fish baits" and got our asses whipped sometimes by guys with spinning rods, lighter line, smaller baits, more patience and bigger fish.

I don't overlook anything anymore. I have favorite lures and tactics, but my mostest favoritest thing to do is catch fish on whatever they bite.
