How did it do? I still haven't had a chance to break mine in and won't for a couple more months.

Regarding the issue of a jerky drag ...My Cabo 60 has 30# mono on it......one of those that breaks at a much higher test. While I have caught AJ and Kings in the 30's, BFT in the high 20's and Red Snapper in the low 20's I have never experienced a jerky drag.

There are those that will still say the reel has never seriously been tested because I haven'y used it for YFT but I have had some serious drag on it.
