I would look at the JX over the MXJ. As mentioned above the gear ratio will aid in the retrieval of line along with the difference in maximum drag (14lbs for the MXJ & 20lbs for the JX). With a small difference in size, the JX gets my vote for max drag and the additional line capacity if needed. Cost does come into play as $210 gets you the MXJ MC 5.8:1 & $290 for the JX MC 6:1. As for the size of each of these reels, see below.
