If you hook a giant on a stand up setup, you are way better off fighting it standing up. With a short rod and fighing belt you can put a ton of leverage on a fish.
Rod holder fishing is much different with longer rods and way more drag than the average person could handle.
If you want to chase giants get 130's if you want to stand up get 50's
My advise is start small and go shark fishing for the best standup fighting practice on very large fish.
