That fish isn't exactly standard fare for spin rods, including that one I only know of four landed in that size class on spin this year. Not really the ideal tuna if you want to possibly release on spin gear, no mattter what the braid. You're pretty much keeping that fish if you catch it.

50 is just fine if rigged right for the far more common 90 to 100 pound fish most are encountering.
