The 5000FJ is one badazz reel. I bought mine last spring and used it in the everglades for tarpon on a 10-20 lb. Star "Seagis" rod. I was fighting fish over 100 lbs and the reel was holding its own. Granted, I didn't land any on that particular combo (they kept shaking me off), but there was no question the reel had the power to finish the job. My primary application for the reel up here is just what you're looking to purchase it for. It's a great light tackle/back bay reel, but the thing can handle so much more when needed. Get it!
