*Quick side note, if youre in the market for a good $100 reel instead of a $350 one, the Lews LFS Speed Spool is about 70% the reel the HyperMag is for about 30% of the price
Engineered for deep drop and saltwater trolling , this combo handles 130lb test strength, excelling in heavy-duty commercial or big game fishing scenarios
My reels are loaded with 20lb braid and this seems to be around the upper limit of line strength you would need to use, anymore it it would become a bit overkill for what the rod could handle
If you primarily want to Spey fish , go with a much larger reel to hold all that thick Spey line
When fish are positively responding to this speed, they obviously work great, but outside of that range, if you try to slow down or especially if you try to speed up, they often blow out, meaning they lose balance and often list, turn upside down, or capsize
