Yep - that is the only reason to use heavier gear then you'd need for an average Mahi... You just never know and need to be prepared. I believe it was here on our site that someone reported catching a White Marlin in the Mudhole earlier this year. 20 to 30 pound gear is perfect for them too.

If you're sharking or targeting other larger Tuna like Longfin and Yellowfin then you should be using 30s and 50s.
