Actually, I prefer Greenback Mackerel to Spanish Mackerel for the following reasons:

Greenbacks seem to be more "active" swimmers...the Spanish can be very lazy swimmers
Greenbacks seem to have sturdier noses. The nose of a Spanish Mackerel can get all mangled up in no time, it seems like, and will come off the hook sooner.
Those damn pectoral fins on a Spanish are sharp and can hurt when they poke you!
Yellowtail like the taste of Greenies more. OK, I really don't know this for a fact (haven't spoken to any yellows lately), but I believe it to be true...
