At the beginning of the black sea bass last season I was using my Calcutta 400. I was using 1/2-1oz lures and the reel was great. It was able to drop 80' with no problem. As the season moved on the reel had trouble with the lighter lures and I was thinking might be time for a better reel for the application.
I use braid with a 2-3' leader so I don't have to worry about it going through the guides or into the mechanism.
