One reason I am thinking about this is that I have had a few back issues and to make sure I get as much time on the water as possible, I'd like to be able to fish from the gunnel when I need to. I have used 80s from the gunnel and they feel like they can handle just about anything I need.

Well if you're gunning for a 100" fish then you might want to give the 130's a go. Other than that the 80's are fine..


I still use tld 25's for the canyons, caught swords on them 4 times. My Big eye set up is a 50wlrs. Caught 5 in 12yrs.. no problem


Ahhhh.... the good old days when a 114h was enough, a 115 was preferred, and a 116 was insane...lol
