I've caught numerous 12 - 14 lb fish on 10-12 mono in the old days . These were caught on my 6 ft shimano fightin rod and the worst reel Penn ever made the 240 GR. A nice way to spend 20 minutes fighting a bluefish. I use a lot of braid now but still use that same rod and reel. Reel needs a lot of tlc though.
