Request for the XF50 owners

Reels are the hottest topic for TackleTour. Everyone wants to know what the latest and greatest is and how they compare to the old guard. What's the best for light stuff, or what's your suggestion for heavy cover. Do we really need different retrieve ratios? It's all in here.

Can you tie on a normal bass bait like at 5 inch Senko or something, set the mag dial to max and make a one handed cast? Does the distance seem really choked off? Like an SV spool set to max or is it more free? I'm thinking about picking up a Hurricane which is the same reel in black and gold for use on a budget stick for skipping. Currently got an Alphas SV on it but want to put it back on the Steez Skyray and want a cheap reel for my cheap skipping stick.
