I have a couple of Penn Spinfishers 6500 that do awesome, they have up to 30 lbs of drag. Had a young buck that was mad at the fish or didn't want to listen but he jigged up 5 amberjack in 450' of water on them with no problem. The spinning reels seem to be easier for the women and kids because the reel is turned down so they're not trying to fight it twisting in their hands. I also mangrove fish with these rods.

I have a trevala s jigging rod and the BG 4500 that's been a blast for mangroves and cobia top water fishing. Just didn't handle that great compared to using it for bottom fishing 200 feet down. Everything I've mostly used in the past was the conventional setup.

Really appreciate the feedback from everyone!
