I think the mid-sized reels have plenty of power to do the job (the canal may be an exception because of line capacity issues) and are much more pleasurable (easier to cast and lighter) to fish than their bigger brothers.

Are you using braid on those reels or mono?

Also, some of those reels have a levelwind, are you taking that off or casting with that on?
