It's funny you picked those set ups. Back in the 80's I got spooled over by midgate with 30# on my squidder while fishing bait. This was the second time I had been spooled so it really bothered me and I wanted to see the fish that spooled me. This is where I go off the deep end. I returned to the boat and grabbed a stand up tuna rod but decided that I couldn't really cast it so I spooled one of my squidders with 130# dacron from one of our tuna rods and put it on a boat rod and returned to that spot and threw a whole mackerel with a 8 ounce weight waiting for another chance at whatever spooled me. I was old enough that I felt somewhat embarrassed with people seeing that huge black dacron going from the rod to the water, but I was pissed at getting spooled again. I still am, which might explain my preference for such heavy gear. I am dropping down to 50# braid so perhaps there is hope for me, but to be honest I am still a little concerned.
Think what you want of me, as long as you are entertained it's all good...right.
