Default Re: Gambler tuna

Try to get your hands on a 30W international 2 sp and a suitable standup rod. A fathom 30 ain't gonna cut it if you hook a nice eyeball or swordie. There are other suitable reels from other companies but an international will be perfect and seems within reach if you get Penn stuff.

Also, consider hollow core main line with a 100+ lb top shot.

The spinning set up is fine for mahi. A bit much at 6500 but hey, use ya what ya got! I typically use a 4000 with 30 lb braid on a 6'9 to 7' m/mh rod.
