360Tuna - View Single Post - Fin-Nor reel choice help please!

I am getting ready to buy a Fin-Nor Offshore reel on ebay. I saw one of the smaller models at Cabelas the other day but have not seen the big guys. Would the OFS95 be too much reel for Texas offshore? I will primarily be using it for topwater tuna and kings. I want to use 30lb mono on it. The model 85 holds 540 of 20lb and the model 95 holds a full 600 of 20lb. I dont know the size difference between the models so your help would be appreciated. Which should I go with? THANKS! Jason
