Never used one, but it may make drop shotting more interesting !!!!

50 lb braid and jigs for me.  probably never turn on my depth finder again.   even thinking about making flagpoles out of the drop shot rods.  May never see the middle of the lake again.   See ya on the edge.    The wife looks at me funny when I tell her I have to go practice my skipping.

I have never used one but my partner got one last year and was not very impressed with the reel. He had a problem with the 50lb braid crossing over it self and causing knots. He also said that when he would set the hook the braid on top of the spool would tighten up so much that he had to take time to pull out most of the braid before he could make another cast. The upside of the reels is that it is very accurate and when he did set the hook he had no problem getting the fish out of the junk and in the boat. He said it is the strongest reel he has ever used.
