I can't find the article about J. George and the spoons but I do remember he uses really big Senator reels, much bigger than 113 's. He is also using lots of wire, which as mentioned above causes lots of pressure even before you have a big fish on. For regular size bunker spoons I use a Penn 112 with a steel spool and have no problem. I prefer them to the 113 which I find heavy. I also jig with these reels so I like the lighter weight. If I try the larger spoons I wouldn't use anything smaller than a 113. I prefer non levelwind reels for all my trolling, lead included, but that is just me. I like the Penn's because they are easy to maintain. P.
