Hey everyone, I was wondering what your thoughts were on fishing big swimbaits on this reel. I got this reel for free and am planning to put 25lb mono on it. Do you think this reel can handle big swimbaits?

    Nothing more than maybe a 1-2 oz. baits, and 20 lb. line.

    I've used a 200B for smaller baits, but step up to a 300E or 400 Calcutta for the big stuff.
