Re: new tuna stick
Jon...my jig outfit is an 8' rod from Bass Pro with a lever drag Ocean master (Bass Pro) & has 50# mono top shot (200') and braid backing(300yds)...I'm guessing the reel is equal to an Avet HX which is my 50# reel...my 30# reel is an Avet LX6...both have 300yds braid backing with mono top shots 150yds(HX) and 230yds(LX)...caught one of those big 80#YFT's on the LX last year...got it to the boat twice but it busted off due to a mako scaring the livin' crap out of it...year before I successfully got a 65-70# LFT on it...reel had no problem with either fish...have caught several more on both the LX & HX.. no problems...hope that helps...
I promised myself I was going to jig more this year..we shall see.....
