I use a 6000-Z (standard retrieve) for everything in the Canal. It cranks fast enough. I can burn 3 oz jigs and plastic across the surface in close, cranking in. Never been in the position where I was saying to myself, "man I wish I got the GT instead". Friggen thing is a winch, too. 5th season, never had the side plate off--only reel I ever owned where I could say that. Put the carbontex drag washers in this spring, just to see if they really were better (they are). Only part that I had to replace was the line roller bearing--which I had hardly ever oiled. My fault, not the reel's.
The VS of choice for Canal jigging is the 275.
