I'd also look at one of the Big Game series, especially if you're going to use jigs and metal. The faster retrieve (5.3:1) makes a difference. You can always reel slower with a fast reel for swimmers and snakes--and most people drift eeels anyway in the Canal. A slow reel is murder when you raise a fish on a plug, and it misses, and you want to get another crack at it. You also have to crank like a mother when you get a jig in close, as it can hang up on the drop-off--especially if you're loaded down with weeds.
