Well I went for 50# mono. Should be good enough. If not, I'll get some 80, or maybe even do an 80 topshot like 100 yards?

nope actually went with 80# test.

yeah... 80# momoi. good stuff.

don't forget the rod tethers to keep your 700 combo IN the boat

I am using 50 pound braid with a top shot of 80 pound mono this year. I have three 114 senators with smoothie drags. If I had a 50 I would use 50 pound test. You can catch a 150 pound fish no problem with that setup. Matched with the right rod of course. Did you ever read the book TUNA? Great bookl on tuna fishing.
