I have landed 70" fish on a Saltist 6500 and know a few charter guys who use them also. Also have used the FinNor 95 with similar results. The Van Staal 300 frequents CCB and the Bank as does the Stella 20000. The last 2 reels are pricey in comparison. Like said above if last years year class comes back strong the spinning reels will be obsolete for most anglers. Plus fighting a tuna for 2 or 3+ hours ruins the meat and in all probability kills the fish if you release it. The quicker the fight the better tasting meat and if releasing survival rates skyrocket. Good luck.
