Hi SHNTRU
 
 I jig for Kingfish with mine on a PE 3-5 Ocean Assassin rod - personally I have down sized most of my reels due to the heavy drags they now hold and using braid gives you plenty of line on the spool...I even strayline with braid now...
 
You can use it for a few diff things -
 
1 - as I do line it with 50lb braid and use it for jigging and can even use it as a top water reel..
 
2 - put 20-30lb braid on it and use it as a big bait out the back gig..
 
3 - fisho's still use biggish reels for straylining so can use it as a big snapper strayline reel..
 
I personally strayline with a 4500 - jig with a 5500 and top water with a 6500 but around the inner gulf - strayline with a 3500 jig with 5500 and top water with the 4500 on the 7'4 Ocean Assassin
 
hope that helps...
