Is this reel a good choice to use specifically for big rubber?

That reel is HUGE. Get a LW 20, or 30 at most.

20 is perfect, 30 and 40 are overkill

I have a 40 and use it strictly for big rubber. Works great. However, it is a giant reel and can cause major hand and wrist discomfort after a long day.

I have a 30 and it's big, I don't see a use for anything bigger unless you're trolling 400yds or can cast a quarter mile.

Get the 20. It will work just fine for big rubber. I have the 30 and that is a good reel but I wish I bought the 20. The only advantage is more line capacity with the 30.

Here is my 20 mounted on my St. Croix Mojo Muskie...

The size is perfect, and I can palm the reel with ease.

Both the 20 and 30 have the same internal parts and gearing, just the frame and spool is bigger on the 30. Go with the 20 your hand and arm will thank you at the end of the day.
