Depends what line you want to use. The bx400xn fits 300m+ pe4 daiwa boat braid (68lb). If you want to go pe5 then go bx500. The 5.1 ratio would be awesome on the 500 but wouldn't go less than 6.1 on the bx400

A mate has the dfs slammer 400 on his jigstar and it is a sweet setup. Heaps of grunt in the reel but it is so nice and small to cup into your hand when jigging.

Will probably be my next setup.
