Is anyone having sucess using a larger leader- such as 100-125# flouro.?? I am thinking I will go up to 80# for the added abrasion resistance next time.

When tuna are in 50-100 lbs range, I use 80 lbs fluoro canbon leader line at night. IF I feel tuna are line shy during daytime, I go down to 60 lbs.
I usually attach a small bead above the swivel to prevent the swivel from going into the guides if I have to use a swivel. I had an experience guides were damaged by the swivel when tuna charged just before gaffing.
