It ain't meant for that You’d be surprised what that reel can handle. I’ve caught huge striper in heavy current on that reel with no issue. It handles fish up to 50 lbs in the salt.

They have a bad reputation in the socal salt. I hear it is great as a freshwater reel, but I only fish salt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MountainMan83 Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 Coastal 200 is an awesome reel. Had one back in the day I wish I wouldn’t have let go. Even had a 153 spool for it - Magforce Z for more conventional baits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacksonfishez Posted February 22 Report Share Posted February 22 I have a daiwa 200 and I’ve thrown swimbaits on it probably 20 times and it sounds horrible when I cast it now. I would recommend a curado 300k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
