I am notorious for not taking care of my rods and reels. I use cheap plain Plano rod case and don't use any case for my reels.

Tower Tod,

It depends on how big your targeted tuna are.
But General trend is to use smaller reels for tuna.
If your targeted tuna are smaller than 200 lbs, 30 reels are good enough as we use braided line as main line nowadays. I had a 250 lbs bluefin tuna on Avet 4/02 reel without any problem. I even use 3/0 size reel for any tuna under 100 lbs.
