That's a great question. If I was a Tarpon guide, or someone chasing records, I think that I would fish the Seigler. Being able to dial in the preset and have the lever max out at lets say 10 or 11 pounds, would be an amazing way to fish igfa leaders, especially for lighter classes. Having said that, overall for how I fish, I prefer the Mako. The Mako just feels more refined if that makes sense.
