Looking at some new swimbait reels.

My cutoff for a bait is 3oz.  I use my sv103 on baits under 3 oz and my luna 253 on baits over 3oz.  The weekest point on the daiwa reels seems to be the thumb bar and it seems to have a very short life above 3oz so i dont go there.  I run 6.3 speed reels so i still have plenty of grunt.

I'm sure most of those reels will do fine, but swimbait fishing will wear out normal sized gear faster than anything else. My Cardiff 300 wore out in less than a year, not the internals, literally the frame warped throwing 8" Hudds. Same happened with a Calcutta throwing 10" Hudds. I just bought a Toro Rocket, but any bigger reel would probably give you more bang for your buck because it will last.
