i never had a problem with a 150 and countless bass. the reel is fine and can handle any side bass even sellin bass. every thing i own gets trashed but i rather fish the 150 and 250 than carry the old pile of penns around.
or the ahabs witch use to be the hot reel for sellin fish here way back

Ditto here. Never felt undergunned with my VS 150b and 1084. This is in the rocks. Super light set up I can cast for hours with out fatigue.
Only felt helpless once and that was with a Calcutta 400 and a med heavy 9' Lami. I still dream about that fish.
