14 wt Abel is around $500 plus reel, bout the same.

how many can you catch? Probably none unless you really know what you're doing.

And I'm not saying this to turn you off, but fishing for tuna is alot different than fishing for stripers and blues.

Heavy rods, reels, backing, lines, big hooks, the right flies, etc.

Why don't you get yourself a 30-50 lb standup rod with a BIg spinning reel and throw some plugs at them for now then see if you wanna spend the bucks on the bigger equipment. You could probably outfit yourself with a decent spinning setup for around 3-400$, but fly stuff you're easily going to spend double that......
