I have a vs 250 and vs 300. I tried jiggin the canal with both. The anti reverse broke on the 300 after about a dozen outings with primarily 5-6oz jigs. The 250 held up okay, but wasnt really cutting it. Distance was fine on both if set up with a 50# braid.

After reallly looking into options i went with a saltiga dog fight and the reel completely owns. It effortlessly cranks in 6 oz jigs against a moon tide and with each crank takes in a rediculous amount of line. I free spool quite a distance down current and wear mechanic gloves to manage line in between drifts. This system worked best for me, and I would never go back to jigging in the canal with a VS. Wetsuiting the surf, the VS is all I use - have to use the right tool for the job.
