Hi Joshua,
First start off by stating what is your treshold of pain is ie how much budget you have. Once you have that settled its a lot easier to make a choice or recommendation.

Hi Joshua,
Both reels that you have mentioned are good choices. The Nautilus may cost more but they are light and have good drags. I have used both Ross Evo and the Nautilus FW.

Both of these reels have taken big fish but if you can afford it, the Nautilus IMHO, would be a better choice with the new CFF drag.

Hi Alberto,

Thanks for the advise. Was thinking about getting a Nautilus too. Especially the one in black. Too tempted to lay my hands on it. Really thanks alot for the prompt reply and advise.
