Raef, i use the boss 665 hxm for jigging and its great .drag is awesome.I would to try the 197 as a barra trolling reel or the new size 12 spinning reel.an excellant bit of kit.

I have a boss 270 and use it for what you are intending, they are a fantastic bit of gear, nothing on the market is as finely constructed as these reels. I have never tested mine properly on a big fish, but have only used it a handful of times.
Finding Time's busted his before - might be worth throwing him a p.m. to get the dirt..
Pretty looking reels though.

Raef,
Only had experience with the 665H, they are a great real. If you want infalabilty by the Boss.
Blue heavens are great and a lil smoother though. But still a very very nice reel.
