Why does Cid Highwind use a spear?

[Mercen-X]

Eh, how about . . . Cid became a fisherman after the whole rocket thing. He prefers stabbing the fish in his frustration as opposed to using a fishing rod.

By the way, Cloud uses a sword because all SOLDIERs do and he believes he is one. Aeris uses a rod because living in Midgard she needed to defend herself and a rod/staff/bo is the best defensive weapon ever made. Vincent uses a gun because it is a non-intimate weapon which allows him to kill without remorse if need be. Yuffie uses a throw instead of a ninja sword or daggers because she's just a little show-off. Red XIII doesn't actually use his earrings, they just raise his attacks somehow. Cait Sith . . . Cait Sith is the only character in the game whose "weapon" doesn't make sense. How does a better microphone allow your giant mog to attack any stronger.
