Hey FP... you serious about that SX? i have one sitting in my hand right now. just picked it up a few days ago. cool little real. smaller than i remember the old style SX's. but i maxed it out warmed up at about 22lbs (pulling at the spool).
i am gona rig the bad boy with some 30lb spectra (about 1000yds), no top shot and 15ft leaders.
i also have the MX and i really like it. very smooth and well built. probaly more suited to swording with 40lb spectra i think.
light tackle dosent kill fish, unless they get tail wrapped. dragging a 40inch fish through the ocean on a dead in the water boat kills it. want more drag... put your palm on the spool.
