Just kidding about the "pinks". I have three Penn Intnl's. All two speeds. Very heavy and best used for BIG blues and cow tuna, preferably in a
fighting chair.
For stand up, I prefer light Penn's and Shimanos. For inshore casting, I really like the Shimano Catalas. A friend of mine swears by one of the
"blue" avets, but I have yet to try one.
Merry Christmas all!

Japanese style deep jigging uses spectra braid on spinning reels for tuna, samsonfish, yellowtail/kingfish, giant trevally etc. The spinning reels
they use cost about 800 bucks, though.

I met guys in alaska last summer using spectra-like line on spinning reels. They were fishing salmon in the rivers. I believe that the small diameter
did make for longer casts and still had the muscle in that strong current. Although salmon don't really require very long casts. Just a lot of
casting.

$800? No no, that's just the "out of the box" price. Before the necessary customizing.
