Location: syracuse indiana | most reels will actually do ok but if you like to burn them you will need a little more reel.. and remembering to aim the rod directly at the bait helps out a ton less pull on you and rod and having a completly filled reel with line helps also.. and having a powerhandle make it the shiznit....bill |

Location: Land of the Musky | Ya, archernut makes a good point. My Abu 6500 is NOT my TE400 w/power handle. But for 80% of what I do with DC bucktails it works fine. I should also mention I can't fish to save my life 
PS-My Abu 6500 has a power handle on it and this may help a little.

| do you guys think that a low profile reel like a citca, would stand up to the beating, or would I have to upgrade to a revo, or a whinch or something? |

| For a hundy you might be able to find an older Calcutta CT (prior to the B series). It has a lower gear ratio that will make the job easier. |

Location: Hugo, MN | Okuma Induron IDX 400a. You can get one on Ebay for around a hundred bucks, then get a free power handle from Mark Rogers at Okuma. Mine works great. |
