What do you want to use the reel for? The Hoo-X and the 30VSW have totally different uses. Hoo-X is about the size of a Trini40N and is meant to be a 65-80lb jigging reel. 30VSW is a trolling reel. Wide reels are not great for chunking or bottom fishing (just the crappie's opinion) because they wobble too much. If you are looking for a chunking reel and wanna go Penn, wait for the 30VSX or get a hotrodded 30S. Other good chunkers are Penn16VSX and hotrodded 20T (2-speeded), Accurate 12-30, and Avet Pro30 and SDS.

A good jigging reel would be the Trini40N, Saltiga 30&40 and Accurate 870N and 655N.
