I would advise waiting until you can get the DoublePunch 6500 myself before targetting those species. With such a setup you are likely to have fights drawn out for long periods and the expectation of losing larger fish. Anyway, overall as you can see from the numbers above with the reels available at level 20 you are giving up at least just over 5 lbs of max usable drag from what used to be the max float setup which was/is still not enough at times for the species you wish to target.īottom line, it will work.sometimes. Going with the long detailed answer here so you can get a better idea of how balanced setups works. You always want you line to be the weakest point of your gear or you are risking breakage of you rod or reel (whichever is weaker). With that in mind the max usable drag setting for the 5500 is drag setting 10 while you can safely use 11 on the 4500. The 5500 max drag number is lower than the 4500 because the max rated line you want to put on any of these three reels is 20lb test or you risk breakage as in all three cases the line max rating would be higher than that of the reel and if spooled your reel would break rather than your line. With all the other three mentioned your max workable drag is 18.29 lbs (HornetSwarm 6000), 19.25 lbs (DoublePunch 4500) and 19.17 lbs (DoublePunch 5500). The max size of all four species has also increased since the prior mentioned Alaska update. For Cats and Sturg it is barely enough to bring in most of the biggest of these species. This was the standard max float setup prior to the Alaska release and would serve you fine most of the time for the fish listed but you would get the occasional pike/muskie that you would not be able to land. With a DoublePunch 6500 (which you can't get until next level) the max workable drag is 24.29 lbs as you never use max drag setting (unless you want the reel broken in about 10-15 seconds).
