Skeeter,
You seem to be hung up on the Avet's. You might want to consider the Shimano Tiagra 30WLRSA. I've caught blue marlin up to 450 pounds on the 30W. If there is a better chunking reel out there I would like to see it. It's probably an overkill for the 100 pound class YFs but it stalls them to less than a 75 yard initial run. It also is a great reel for pulling up AJs. I wish I had a dollar for every AJ I've seen boated with a 30W. You really don't need a 50 class reel unless you consistently troll for marlin.
I used a 30WLRSA two weeks ago to power in three YF's in one hour. Two of them only took 7 and 5 minutes with heavy drag setting. The free spool on this reel for chunking is second to none. With a 40 pound preset on the drag I could put the reel in free spool and it sent the chunk of bait out faster than anyone else on the boat. I had to thumb it from going out to fast. My bait was always the first one to be outside the lights of the boat. Result, Hook up every time.
The cost isn't that bad. If fact, I won two more auctions on ebay yesterday with the 30WLRSA's. I got both of them for 420 bucks each with a 10 buck shipping charge and no sales tax. Just spool them with 50 pound big game high test. It breaks around 84 pounds. You really don't need spectra to pull up AJ's when you still put 40 pounds of drag saftely on the 50 pound big game mono.
I'm thinking of having two custom rods made for these two using a Super Seeker SS-CTSF55XXH blank with Winthrop tool roller guides and tip. I might just buy two of the Melton grander series rods. I saw one of the Melton grander series stand up rods break this year, but it was because of a person on board doing a crazy test that no rod ever built would hold up too.
