Back to the VS 150.
The reel's cranking power can be improved by switching to a VR handle which is longer and has a larger knob. Even then, however, the gear design is relatively crude and the reel is definitely harder to crank under load than the Stella 5000SW I own. I think mine took close to 400 yds of Diawa Samurai 40# braid so capacity shouldn't be an issue.
