Hi all, I am looking for any recommendations on a spin tuna setup, rod/ blank, reel, main line #, and leader. I am not actively pursuing tuna in general but I have realized that there is a good chance that in some areas I fish the potential encounter is there for schoolie to 100lb class tuna.

My ideal setup would be based on reacting to surfacing fish, and therefore more of a popping style rod (mod fast).

I do have my HMS permit, but would like to hear from your experience what setup works for you so that my research/decision is based on a reasonable starting point of what works. Thank you.
