I love that reel. That's my go to YT destroyer! Get rid of the 30lb put on some 50-60lb braid with a floro top shot. I use it for fly lining macks with a 55lb braid, 2-3 ft floro top shot and a circle hook. The lever drag works great for setting that circle hook on the fly and the reel is super strong for handling the big YT's. Enjoy
