I got a tatula 100 the other day and it's so tiny it's almost cute! So I figure the larger coastal 200 (supposed to be the profile of a 150 with a 200 spool, or something like that) will be fine for what I'm looking for, maybe even better balance and fit for my heavy rod Nice pick up! I got the coastal 200 a few months ago, it's beast of a reel and pretty to boot. If you want to turn it into magforce Z, look for an HD custom 153 spool! 1 Quote

Drag is for tiring out fish and lifting them with your hands smh. And if you're saying you can't real in a an 8lber with a MH or H rod, ..... No what I am saying is you don't need 8 lbs of drag because your rod can't withstand 8 lbs for drag force. I have caught a few hundred 10 lb + bass with 3 to 4 lbs of drag force using MH & H rated rods. Drag is the force applied to you line by the reel. Tom Quote

The spool that you will get in the Coastal 200 has a fixed inductor which means that the same braking force will be applied during the entire cast. A magforce Z spool has an inductor that extends after the spool starts up and applies a bit more breaking through the middle of the cast. Can be useful for throwing bigger baits. Don't worry, your stock spool will be fine! 1 Quote
