Just an awesome reel! A real powerhouse for a hair over 29 ounces. Makes a terrific deep water jigging reel.

This thing is smooth!! I cant wait to wench up a giant gag grouper this season. Going to load it with 100lb braid and tack it to a heavy jigging rod. Love that I was able to spend my hard earned money on an American made product!
Solid reel

Definitely a solid, well built reel but found one problem. The specs claim it will hold 920 yards of #50 braid. I tried several different brands eight strand braid and have not been able to spool more than 670 yards. The line was packed under 20+ # pressure so it is not loosely spooled.

Picked up two of these reels to do some jigging, bottom fishing, and light trolling. Holds 600 yards of 60# JB hollow with an 80# mono top shot. Took it outside to try it pitching baits and casting and love the narrow frame.

Man this reel is my favorite it's a narrow reel but I don't blame that it fantastic for tuna you can catch a bull shark on here also Marlin,mahi,wahoo,drums whatever else it could catch were you live it can catch a golioth grouper mabey if you put a t-bar-handle it might be. My brother has a hxw raptor mc cast 7th made and he can catch a 1000lb Marlin and hxw and hxj are close…

Plenty of drag in a compact size. We use these for grouper and snapper in the northern gulf of Mexico. Low gear is great for getting big fish away from the rocks.

I own two of these. I spooled the first one with 300yds of 100lb JB solid core and the second one with 300yds 80lb Momoi braid. These reels absolutely destroy bottom fish. They have more drag than I can handle without a harness. I really like how narrow the spool is on these models. These HXJs are great for jigging and live baiting big AJ's, I made very short work…

of some decent size sharks too. They are taller than the JX but they still feel good in the hand and I have no problem bottom fishing with them all day. I think they would be comparable in size and weight to a baja special. I plan on using these for chunking to yellowfins when I finally go (plan on using the JX too). Only issue with these reels is they do let some water in around the harness lugs. Not really a big issue though, as long as you have a light coat of grease inside the reel or if you clean it periodically I think you will be just fine.
