I'm using the 500. I just sold a 700 and 2 800s. I like the 500 cuz it's smaller, lighter, and I can cast pretty good wit it which comes in handy for the ling. It's spooled with about 250 yds of 85# power pro and the drag is pretty good on it. You can crank down on em and keep em out of the rig. That's the trick catchin any fish on rigs is to get em out of the rig first then fight em. Sometimes it doesn't work that easy. This weekend we were straightening out hooks on mangroves. They can be a frustrating fish. But I wouldn't be afraid to hook a 40-50 lb aj with it. I've caught ling over 60# on it. And it's not heavy and don't wear you out.
