Default Re: Tuna Gear Recommendations

Jim,
Here's what I use:
80#--AVET EX30-2 200yd braid/200yd mono
50#--AVET HX5-300/120yd/50' wind on
30#--AVET LX6-300/150yd/50' wind on(40#)
New this year---AVET JX 2speed 300/120+/-yd/50' wind on(40#)
Jig OML25(Offshore Angler) 345yd/100' 50#

I use the light stuff in full daylight with no more than 1/2 oz--mostly fly lined.. largest boated-- 70# LFT with it..

Looks like you're pretty much set
maybe a light spinner for pot hopping if you're so inclined...or for catching squid...
Just have some light leaders 40-50# for the day chunk

hope this helps...
