Default Sturg Reel

I just bought a Diawa 47-H for gators.Is it big enough for hogs?If not I'll get a couple 50-h that I know will get the job done.The reason I got the 47 is cause it's got a levelwind and the 50 don't.My wife giggles a bit too much when she is playing an oinker to fiddle with the line.Oh yeah,the reason I'm asking is cause I got it on ebay and havent seen it yet.Diawas web site makes no mention of it either.So folks what do ya think?
Thanks.
Mark

that is plenty of reel for 'nookers...it is plenty for sturgeon too. Are you bank fishing? If, so, it would still be ok but i wouldnt use it for oversize. It has plenty of line capacity.

Flatfish,
You will love the reel, been using one for a long time. Mine is a 47SH fast retreive, works fine for all Sturg, but last few years I have used a smaller feel when I don't plan on hooking any oversized.
