Thanks, Luke. I appreciate it. I am going to be in Panama at the end of March. I might make NC before, but that is not certain. However, this isn't even for tuna. I have faith in my bigger Daiwas and the drag they have to go against them.
However in Panama, there are some other species with pointy noses that I would love to get into. It for some reason we spot one feeding around the bait balls on YFT/Bonita then I would love to try my luck casting to them. Hell, I might even do it without seeing them. Lots of Posiedon's bigger children lurking down there. So I have some submarine's to throw courtesy of Merv at Strategic. Now the drag on my 30K is less than the Dogfight 7K and Expedition 8K, but line capacity is my only fear. That motor can strip you down really quick. I have caught a few with my 30ks but never casting to them, so I just wanted confirmation on stickbait action.
Thanks again for the input. I really appreciate it. Oh and thanks to the board for allowing me to ask about a non gt subject.
