The 300 is a POWERHOUSE of a reel. I use it for my football jigs, swim jigs, carolina rigs, frogs, small swimbaits, big crankbaits, and more. But, in all honesty, I'd go with the 400D for glidebaits and swimbaits. It holds more line, the handle is longer so you can SLOW ROLL your baits, it casts a mile, and is high quality. I have a 400D for sale if you're interested. I'm looking to upgrade it to a 400TE here soon, that's why I'm parting ways with it. If you're interested, message me and we'll talk! Hope this helped!!!
