I like this reel for jigging. So far it has been a champ at bringing up fish to 15 lbs, typically from depths of 40-120 feet on my kayak. The drag works great, the linecounter has not given me any trouble and I live in the rainy, misty state of Washington. We'll see how everything holds up for long term. So far, four stars and I think that's fair. Have taken 33.5 inch lingcod and many smaller, large rockfish and cabezon up to 23 inch, reel still holds up.
