Cod and bass/blues. He saw the colors, which match the rod I am building for him, and 300yds of 20# mono, which should be around 300 yds of 80# braid (equivalent to 20# mono, I don't use a backer and spool it TIGHT). I got a little over 200 yds of 80# Sufix on there. He went Cod Fishing last weekend and used a small penn reel and hated the smaller reel; he wants the 50LD 2 speed now instead. The 30LD has the same rate of retrieve, 36", as my Saltiga 40, and just about the same as the Fin Nor Offshore 16L, but the small reel concerns him. It's the size of an Abu 6500 Ambassadeur, which is pretty small. Will it work for cod? Sure. But he wants something larger. He is a pretty big guy, bigger than me!
