I have an early model JX which is a narrow spool model of the LX and have caught mackeral up to 20kg and a few large sharks.

I use it mainly trolling large flesh baits but have used it reef fishing with 50lb braid, at which it excells.

I have had this reel for about 5 years now and apart from greasing the carbon drag washer, it has the usual grease and oiling.
These are very simple reels with a very small parts count. Built to last a long time.

Still looks like new inside and out.

You don`t have to grease it every time you go out. Once a year is probably enough.
