I've got 4 older Mag 10's on my Starcraft, and generally have 13 lb'ers hooked on 'em in the summer, run 4-6 lb'ers in the skinny water in the spring for browns.
I don't pull charters, so as long as they go up/down at a reasonable rate, I'm good.
I do have Big Jons on the smaller boat, and those are waaaaaaaay faster, and w/o auto stops, you have to keep a good close eyeball on those.
Had Walker, and Cannon hand-crankers......ain't going back to either.
