Note that many ratings on the spinfishers are understated. (I have two of them) I have about 300 yards of 65-lb power-pro main-line on my SSV6500LL. The drags come on radically strong as well with published rates being easily obtainable. The rod and reel are sized well for each other.

Until this fish, I always felt this system was too much power for where we go. It usually just winches them in. Glad I had it for this one.
