kings?????
I have caught kings to 36lbs on bass tackle!!!!(could catch bigger but the monsters havent hit my bass rods yet) A curado can handle a king! That 700 will smoke a king, ling, red, crevelle, and even the snap you mention. The only problem would be if you hooked into something big on the bottom as Rick said, then you would have a problem!! The 700 has a large line capacity and a decent drag, it would take a record king to rape that reel of line.
As far as a rod goes, I put mine on a Heavy trevala and have used this rig pretty often for jigging or bottom dropping for snaps. A few months ago I had a buddy land a 6-7ft bull shark on this setup. The setup mentioned above will be very light and can be fished for long periods of time. There are times when I wish I had a little more backbone but this combo has done me well in the situations that I have used it.
