VS 200

[Circlehook]

I thought the main benefit of the 275 was reel speed for jigging, which is not what I need this reel for.

My rod for the time being is a Lami XS 101 MHS, a 1205 will be built this winter.

Of course the 200 can handle a good fish. It's the same size as a Penn 704, and I can't begin to tell you how many big fish I took out of the Canal tossing eels on my 704--which was loaded with 20# mono.

Never once did I even come close to getting spooled.

I could never imagine getting spooled in the canal either if you had the proper gear unless you were lucky/unlucky enough to get blasted by a tuna or shark. These guys that claim to get spooled apparently know their stuff so I don't know.
