The 250 kind of goes the other way and works well on an 11' or heavier 10'. I usually use the 250 on my glass 10'.

i'd lean towards making the decision based on versatility, unless your only planning on using it on the 1201m.

So you dont feel that you've really been under-gunned while using the 200 on the 1201m as far as line capacity goes?

The 200 still holds quite a bit of line, and so many people fish braid which is practically limitless.

I use an older 250 on my 1201m.

If 300 yards of 20# Fireline, with mono backing, isn't enough, I don't know what to tell you, except I hope you have a Federal tuna permit if you land what you're worried might spool ya

The 200 is the same size as a Penn 704 and it actually holds a bit more line, and I've landed several bass over 40# on my 704. Using 20# mono. The VS 200 will hold 250+ yards of 20# mono. The only way you'd ever get spooled, even in current, is if you foul hook one.

Keep in mind that McReynolds caught the world record on an even smaller 710.
