I'm looking for a rod that will match up with an Okuma Makaira 30ll SEA, from what I've read on the party boats 30 & 50's are a go.

Hope to see you guys at the Somerset show.

I really like the Makaira SEa's, looking to add one or two to my personal arsenal. If you havent purchased the reel yet I would go with the 20 (a narrow version of the 30). It is in between the size of most 30's and 50's and has a narrower spool which I really like because it is easier to level the line and is more stable when cranking. When I save up and get the 20 I am going to have it spooled with the new Seaguar Threadlock hollow core 130# with about 100 yards of 100# mono topshot.
