Having good gear and a great boat handler is definately a bonus but i certainly want some luck as well. anything can happen with big fish and light gear. i am assuming by a 20 # test line on a spinner rigged for boat striper fishing it would be something like a penn 7500 ss with a 7ft or 7.5ft rod . If I were to have to target a big size BFT I would want the 9500 SS so i could hold alot more 20# test line ( an extra couple hundred yards of line would be very useful in this situation ). i was just pointing out that an everday striper spinning outfit is probably not considered "good " gear for a 300# bft.
i have a few small spinning outfits on my boat that have 20# test on them and i would much rather use something different for that fish.
