I also missed the tuna reference. I don't do much fishing for schoolie bluefin, but I have a TLD 15 and I can attest that it's a great reel for stripers and I'm fairly sure it would handle the SBTs. I've heard a lot of great reports about Avets and the Saltists as well, and the Penn Torque is meant to be a great reel but it's fairly spendy. I am pretty sure that there isn't a bluefin in existence that an Abu will put the brakes on.
