Can you de-bail an Ahab 20? And does it lay line well enough to use Power Pro without it tangling? It has stainless gears, right?
I'll tell ya what--I know from jigging 2 nights with a Nauteel 7500 that I could torch the brass gears in half a season jigging the Canal. I cranked the drag down tight enough so a 15# couldn't pull drag, and I got some gear chatter from hauling in fish a lot smaller than that when they got in a rip.
Z's have better bronze gears, but I know a few guys who bent shafts horsing fish with 30# Fireline. Cheap fix but how much longer will Penn keep making the parts?
