one is just slightly larger and holds more line also - i target walleyes and caught up to 24" relying on the great drag system. i use both sizes for my 3 jigging poles and don't notice a difference. caught crappies bluegills white bass and catfish up to 5 lbs without a problem. my first one is over 5 yrs old and works as good as the new one. i am not familar with your reels so i cannot compare.

i use power pro braided line - 1, 2, and 4 lb diameter equivelents but be sure to back the reel with mono or use the backing strips supplied with power pro line or it will slip when you hook a bigger fish or a snag in my case.

A: 
Any of the top names such as Berkley/Suffix will be good. I would use a limp line like the Berkley Trilene XL "exta limp" or similar because of the very small spool size you will want to avoid spool memory of the line. Flurocarbon line is great for that as well because it won't retain the spool shape after long periods. An XT "extra tough" line will get spool memory and become loopy.

A: 
Anti-reverse prevents you from reeling backwards unless your reel has a switch to disengage that action. Some older/cheaper reels would allow a partial turn backwards before stopping which isn't good for hook setting. Instant anti-reverse means just that "instant" so there isn't any amount of back pedaling/reeling. Powerlock is a marketing term to make the anit-reverse function sound better.

A: 
There is a little switch on the back of the reel. If it is to the left, you can turn the reel backwards. If the switch is to the right, the reel will not move in reverse, thus anti-reverse.

A: 
Antireverse is a feature where the handle doesn't turn backwards. All spinning reels have had this for some time. Instant anti reverse has been around for about 20 years now and is presently on almost every modern spinning reel produced. It is a feature where there is absolutely no backplay in the handle. This feature ensures better hooksets than regular antireverse and also give the angler better feedback when working finesse baits, because the handle won't move back and bump the stop.

A: 
There is a switch on the lower back end of the reel. If you flip the swicth in one direction, the reel handle will back spin freely. This can help when playing big fish. It allows you to backwind. Flip the switch the other way and it stops the reel from back spinning, allowing your drag to do the work. Helps on hooksets also.
