The reel is gear up to retrieve faster than a 1:1 ratio and that sewing machine motor would spin pretty fast. If the jug catches on something the rod will bend till it comes loose and flies through the air (all sorts of shooting practice). Those big reels will hold lots of line and you can zig zag it around out in front of you and shoot till you're tired of doing it. If it hangs up bad, you just let off the foot feed and go get it or shoot at it till it comes loose.
