Tunanorth is on a distinguished road
TLore,
On my Torque 300's, I fish mostly 50-pound mono topshots over 80-pound spectra for tuna, wahoo and yellowtail, but in some situations I fish straight 80-pound spectra with only a very short 80 or 100-pound mono/fluoro leader.
In either case I get more than enough drag.
How much drag were you able to get vs. how much were you trying to get?

BTW- just got my hands on a "field-test" model of the little TRQ100.
Currently have only wound on some straight 20-pound Big Game for "practice casting", but will probably set it up with 30-pound spectra and a 20 or 25-pound mono topshot when I head out onboard the Searcher in San Diego for a 7-day long range trip on June 9.
The first few bluefin tuna are being caught this weekend, so things are looking good!
