MR.SANDMAN now that the fish have gone south, the FLY SHOW WILL be starting you can LOOK at ALL the REEL/RODS you want an TRY them OUT at the show, take your TIME an go with what FEEL comfortable to you. you talk about BONE'S TUNA, maby bones an a 9-10 lage arbor TUNA, footballs maby, but big boys, you will need more QUALITY EQUIPTMENT, PATE'S, ABLES,FIN-NOR,an so on. if your only fishing from BEACH, 9wt should be fine, heavy surf 10wt, an off a boat 10wt is a must you need LIFTTING power. you can catch stripers w/ a PFLUEGER MEDALIST 1495 REEL . it's not the reel it's the person behing it, remember reel only hold line. it's how you use them that counts. so look around, feel them an try them ALL out ,what ever you LIKE. is what YOU get."GOOD LUCK GOOD FISHIN"
P.S. remember "you get what you pay for"
