That reel will struggle with the heavier lead needed offshore. Plus the push button on those reels are notorious for failing. For around $200 the new Shimano Torium 16HG is what I recommend to people. Has the speed and the power needed for fishing 200+ft with 12-20oz lead and reeling up 2-3 jumbo seabass and/or porgies.
