I have a tiagra 50W, and have hung it up because of the reason Jerry stated. IMO, it's just too much for anything in the GOM, with maybe exception of Lump tuna. Maybe I'm a wus, but I just don't enjoy fishing it at all. Too heavy, and too much wobble. And I think it holds somewhere along the line of 900 yds of 130# spectra, so unless you are fishing straight 80# mono, I just don't see the need for a reel that big. IMO, the ease of cranking on a reel that big is offset by amount of wobble I get. But they sure look good when you play with them while watching TV. :-) So mine is not for sale; its just sitting there in the corner looking good. Now I know why Penn sells their new commemoritive model in a pretty wooden box, with a shiny little coin.
