I own several....


I run 40 power pro on mine, with 6 to 8ft topshots of both 30 and 40 pound Fluoro. 40 cuts kelp better then 50 do to the smaller diameter (sharper) and I've never broken it from a kayak.

The reels are ridiculously strong for their size. Here's a Black seabass I released at SBI after a long fight.

The reel performed flawlessly on that fish, which was probably well over 200 pounds.

Capacity was a non issue, it never had more then a hundred yards off the reel even when sounding deep off the shelf at SBI.

My only gripe is the clicker is hard to flip on and off with wet hands. There's a modification you can do with a little sandpaper that fixes that.

Great reels, best bang for the buck around. I think you could land anything you could hook locally with that reel, other then perhaps a big adult T or Sword.
