Do you know the max drag? I currently only have right hand retrieve, but I’m pretty ambidextrous, any chance you have a good slow pitch rod to go with it for a few more $? I only have one 160gr jig so would want a pretty stiff rod, want to use it for ling and halibut, so with heavier jigs. Was trying 330 feet or so with no luck yesterday but hooked up a few times at 175-230 drifting.

Hi @kaelc
Sorry I don’t have a rod to go with it.
I don’t know the max drag. Adequate for ling springs and coho but too light for Hali. I mean it would do it but you might damage something.

I had it on this rod that can handle 200g jigs no problem. https://www.amazon.ca/Rosewood-Jigging-Weight-Casting-Fishing/dp/B076K54PFB
