you really want at a minimum at 40-60# class rod for tuna over 100 pounds and ideally something in the 60-80# class is better for the tuna that are between 150 and 300 being caught today. after than, it become too hard to fight these fish on spinner gear and you need to start looking at a full harness and 50-80# class conventional reels.
the OTI's are nice, but expensive. throwing the tuna sniper at 8'6" all day is tiring, espeically after hooking a fish. the OTI's are 2 piece w/ the joint above the fore grip. i found them very top heavy. they make shorter ones, which i suggest. you will need to balance casting distance w/ fighting power. at some point you will be compensating somewhere.
