I had very good results learning to cast with my 975 last season using 50lb. Spectron. Very rarely did it backlash but when it did I had it out in less than a minute. I found the reel to be happy casting 2oz. or more, which wasn't a problem cuz I was using it to toss heavy jigs and rigged eels primarily. Definatley load the rod properly and don't try to "swing for the fences", that's when I had my problems. Once I learned how to let the rod do the work the problems almost disappeared completely.
