Great tip, Woody!
One however, however...
They are limited in what they carry, no crocs, no cedar plugs, no rebels...

You are correct, Woody.
Their reels and line are really inexpensive.

This place is linked to several store names. The prices are good, but as noted, the availability is limited. I'm assuming they pick up discontinued
and close-out stuff from suppliers.

You are really optimistic with 80#, your not going to see many 80# tuna unless you go long range. I use 50 or 60# on my heavy outfits, and catch 40 lb
halibut on 15# all the time. Lighter lines catch more fish, for the most part.

youre right there are not many 80lb tuna around but they are here and there are bigger bluefin and bigeye that show up sometimes in Northern Baja/ So
Cal Offshore and if you are trolling with 50lb, good luck! If you are trolling with 80lb you can get the troll fish to the boat faster, not lose the
school and continue fishing bait with a lighter stick.

being the tuna rookies that we are, we prefer to get them into the boat before the seals get to them.....
