Yep, good point Reap.
During the season you will hear guys on the radio claiming to have been spooled. With a 50 you at least stand a chance of turning on him quickly and making a go of it for awhile, but then again, an 800 pound fish might not care what kind of reel you're holding when he waves bye-bye!
