TubeN2 made a good suggestion with the Okuma. However, I think you'll find them to be a bit bulky for a duel purpose reel. Bass fishing with the big Corronado would prove to be a pain. TubeN2 just recently talked me into the CD50, which I spooled with 30 lb power pro. It didn't hold the entire spool, much to my dismay. However, it got a pretty decent chunk on there. If I were you, and if I decided to go with the Okuma, i'd get the smaller of the Corronado series, which I think is a CD30, and pack it with the 20 lb.
I'm going to use my Okuma primarily for fishing offshore in the ocean. It'll be my go to reel for chunking and also for casting light to medium duty lures. I already told steve (tubeN2) when I first bought the reel that I intend on testing it out proper, that is with it's first fish being a large shark. [cool] I'll let you know how it goes.
