People are using 2 speed reels, great rods why do you need a rail to land your fish?? To me its using the boat to aid in landing the fish. In addition you ruining your rod, you become pretty stationary and fight from a pinned position. Some will say you get the fish in quicker but what's the fun in winching in a fish in 5 minutes
Were not talking about 300# yellowfins on a long range boat, were speaking about schoolie sized 100# tuna.
