the 220 holds 30 yds less of 20lb. My biggest problem is I have a butt stick and want to use it, and also use a nice reel for salmon downriggin and the occaisonal bottomfish. I do have a shimano bantam 1000 that is my standard downriggin reel.
I just wanted to make that my backup and have a great all around reel to use. I only fish butts maybe once a year and not very often for bottomfish. The 309 I use to have was brutal with the but stick. Just about stop or gogogo on the drag
