I've got a 50E that DVT put in a 7 to 1 gear set for me, carbontex drag, and orange Boca bearings. Then, the 102mm Hawgtech swept handle was added. I do prefer a smaller spool. To me it makes using lighter weights easier when a delicate presentation is needed.
The drag has the power for sure. I really like the Carbontex drag washers!
The handle is a little weird to get used to being so large, but nice when a bigger fish is on. Plus, the me the Boca Bearings allow you to be more precise on repeated pitches.
