Spinning reel for casting to tuna

[MrHunters]

I love my spheros, and though I can't say it's hooked up with any tuna yet THIS IS THE YEAR!!

It's stood up to monster bass on the bank, and 5+ ft blue sharks.
Drags are still good after 3 seasons.

Here's a good link on spinning set-ups -

I've got the Fin-Nor OF 95, it's price and line capacity sold me, but it doesn't have a tuna yet either, only bass and blues on it's 'caught' list.

as a side note -

I'm not sure who here gave the tip to put a swivel at the end of the flouro leader to save $$ when changing lures, but when I find out, they'll get my nomination for for 'S-B dot COM 2010 Angler of the Year'

oops, I meant to say split ring.

at the end of the floro leader (i use 80lb), crimp a small loop w/ protective sleeve and a strong split ring. Using the split ring, lures can be changed w/out cutting line.

I do the same thing, but I don't feel comfortable tieing or crimping directly to the split ring (afraid it will chaffe on the rings).

I tie/crimp into a solid ring (or sometimes a swivel) and then use a 150 lb spo split ring to connect the ring to the plug. It really makes changing plugs alot easier, especially when the adrenaline starts flowing with fish blowing up all around.

Profishco grommet/ring

A guy pointed these out on another site. I crimp on one of these , add a quality split ring and change over plugs quickly.
