A regular rod can be used for everything so its the better choice in my opinion.
Oh yeah a squid jig gangion cant be wound into it either....yeah some bait stick.:

Tony hit it on the head. X2
(I know of at least 15+ people off the top of head that have hooked into monster yellowtail while making bait on a sabiki purely by mistake..
Some get lucky by tangling several hooks fouling the yt or wsb into submission, while others purposely place a iron on the bottom instead of a sinker, while others fashion a hook onto the end of their torpedo sinker..
Broomsticks dont fight well..& Ya never know when you or a buddy might need that extra set up that would have otherwise been a flagpole taking up space..
