If your going to use a composite, the triflex line is the way to go. The tip is a little wimpy for tuna on the TXC92. The TXC961m cut down to a 9.5 or 10 tip would probably do better. Batson SWB76MH could be built on as is for less$$.

Okay, the blank I'm looking at is an 8 tip. I wonder what the length would be if I cut it to 9 or 9.5 (it's 7'8" stock). But I really want to be able to toss a light lure, sometimes the tuna are finicky and only will eat something small.

Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.
