That Penn 30 VSW will handle both chunking and bottom fishing. When Penn introduced the "V" series it was long overdue. The "V" internationals are much improved over the previous internationals. I use the Shimano Tiagra 30WLRSA which is the same size. If I were to buy one reel for both chunking and bottom fishing it would be either the Penn or the Tiagra. You really don't need anything bigger than the 30W size unless you fish for marlin. Hope this helps.
