I'll use the Calcutta on the 7'-9" Skeet Reese (made by Wright McGill) crankbait rod. The 200D has a retrieve ratio of 5.7:1 which makes it better for crankin deep water cranks like the KVD 5's and 6's. The faster retrieving reels will wear me out after a few hours pullin those big billed cranks through 15-20 FOW.
I've spooled it up with 30# Power Pro Super Slick line. I figure I'll be able to cast three hundred yards now with no problem.....oh wait, I only put on 150....well, I'll be able to cast a long ways now and this reel should outlast me!
But reading all these posts from the plastic navy has me pondering a new fishing craft. It'd make me pare down my choices of fishing paraphernalia for sure plus knock out the expensive gas costs in the boat. But then I'd need a more fuel efficient vehicle.......decisions, decisions~!

Three hundred yard capability casts with 150 yds of line. If you cast all the line off you will be in a heck of a predicament when that huge monster fish starts to run.
BTW, Hope this reel lasts at least 50 years and you are using it until it dies.
