I've punished my "slosh" over the years. Bent a drive shaft overfishing it with 30# and buttoned down. Dropped in a new drive shaft and good it's as new. Great 20# class reel. Anything heavier I'd opt for the 40-50 size. Just be wary it's a composite framed reel and will slightly flex under heavy pressure. In this case pump n wind to help relieve pressure, don't grind... it'll save you an 8 dollar drive shaft and some down time.

I totally agree with skrilla....The sl20 was made for 15-20lb class. Yes you can upgrade your drags and put braid on it. But the rest of the reel wasn't made for that. Take care of your gear and they will take care of you when you need them. |
