Like PapaDave I've gone electric also...
I have a bad case of arthritis in both wrists and thumbs...so the Diawa Tanacom 500 is my choice for rockfishing...when it comes to prospecting a new deep area I have no problem sending 8oz. or more down 400'...and it's a level wind...
I added a Hobie connector to the power cable and I use an old Hobie battery under the seat of my PA and it lasts me all day and my hands are happy...
