disagree with that blanket statement...if swing water did not produce, my last stop of the day on a coastal river was a well upstream run requiring a descent into a narrow mini canyon with zero room for back casting.Spinning reels are not very useful for float fishing.
Using floating line, spinning reel, and Thill Gold Medalist wood floats, I could easily pinpoint cast, steer and reposition my jigs through the various seams, and if my bobber tipped when well downstream I could pin immediately pin the fish by speed cranking the high ratio reel while rearing back.
Horses for courses...fish what you enjoy, with what you enjoy
