My fishing partner caught a 40 lber with a VS100 on a 7ft st. croix tidemaster and 10lb line. 1/2 oz castmaster. On purpose. Took 3hrs or chasing that thing around. supprisingly still tasted fantastic!
I don't think you can be under or overgunned. It is really about what you are all about.
If you want to get them to the boat fast, use 50lb class gear.
A lot of spinning guys were using penn 9500ss.
I troll with penn 330gti spooled with...um...i can't remember. But I will probably re-spool with 20 lb. big game.
I throw plugs at them with 706 z spooled with 30 lb powerpro, but I think I am going to change out to a different braid, still 30 lb.
