Likely the Centaur fo pusihg the limits and the Predator for everything else.

All depends on budget and target fish. If works well on a UC Centaur or Raptor at the Lupe.

Sorry, no rod suggestions. Though I am curious if you think you might use this setup offshore at all why not spool it full with 30 lb. braid? Then you would have a fighting chance if a bigger model grabs on. And you will not have to replace it in a year or two like mono.

To find the max drag on most of my Avet reels I get up on a second story balcony or similar location about 6 feet above the ground and start letting line fall off of the reel in free spool. I then turn up the preset until the spool is no longer freely turning under the pull of line hanging off...

Agree that these folks are total dirt bags but. I am not sure I would hold up that sort of justice knowing all the other crap that goes with it. I think we have been fighting over in the sandbox for a generation to avoid it.

You have to call them to order anyway so you can confirm then. The website is not live for online ordering. I wish it were. Been that way for a long time.

Hollow 60 or solid. What brand?

And you can actually cast the 15 since the spool is so light.

Easiest thing to do is upgrade to Raptors. Spendier but worth it.

LR words to live by. Well at least 99% of the time. :-)

Beautiful in every respect. Flat water, nice weather, great boat setup for the fight, skilled angler, beautiful fish, good gear, good crew and a perfect dart shot at the end. Can't think it gets much better than that. :-)

I am ready for them is they show up here. Too bad the Albacore stopped in SE Alaska. They are all welcome further north.
