Daiwa are yet to reproduce a reel that is a tough and well designed with the awesome stopping power of the Blacksheep. The Blue backer was intended to be used for light inshore jigging just as the sheep, however, most people will tell you it just doesn't make the stopping power of the Sheep. Another option is to upgrade a Blue backer or CVZ (if you can find one-better for casting) or Luna 203/205 or 253 size reels with a Jack Erskine Carbontex drag maybe even lapped and ground metals washers. This should result in 10-12kg of drag once a few fish have played tugg-o-war. I personally have got the CVZ 203 with upgraded drag and have fished 30 to 50lb braid in salt and dams for big barra without fail.
Oh yeah, i live in Rockhampton and know of a tackle store in town you can get a Blacksheep for $499.00 atm, only have a few left.
