So a bit of background, I've been using my baitcaster for about a year or so every weekend and am looking to upgrade. I currently have a 6'6" Berkeley medium fast action with an Abu Blackmax 3 with spool speed hybrid bearings that I use mostly for spinners and crank baits and the occasional will Texas rig. I mostly bank fish so I need the distance to cover more water with my lures. Is it worth the money for the DC brakes or would saving a few bucks and getting the SV a better option?
