these are pretty stout and rated 50-80 graet for tuna

you may get away with high sticking...but if you dont you will know

Paul, didnt cut it yet, havn;t had time to think it out yet

Bon, I know Kil has jigged alot of tuna on this rod so i dont think you will have too much of a problem, i havn't fished it myself yet so i am not 100% sure

The only Wahoo which has broke is the one Kil had slammed on teh side of teh boat when the fish ran under the boat. Even with his rod rail, which put several Comotechs and otehr blanks into their grave. The Wahoo is fine for fishing the rail with 200# Tuna, it will be fine for swinging 10# Dogfish too, lol.

FWIW, in the event that it does break, any GUSA purchased from me is waranteed by me, you don't have to wait (provided I have the blank in stock) for a replacement, and I'm not going to send you off to deal with GUSA, I'll deal with them for you. With the Wahoo, I do not have any fears of them breaking - there is 1/4" thick of graphite.
