The rigid construction allows for better alignment of gears and bearings, leading to smoother operation, longer casting distance, increased durability, and improved performance when reeling in these powerful fish

The truth is, there is no inherent better or best per se because each reel excels when applied to different fishing or environmental conditions

I use it with heavy braid & a punch rod, lock the crank the drag down & hang on

You want to make sure that when you cast, your leader is actually hanging down a little longer than normal

For heavier lures, you want more control, i.e., less free spin, and for lighter lures, vice versa
