Smooth operator
This is the 'baby' Thunnus. I bought it because it is reasonably lightweight yet gives me good line capacity. I use it with a medium weight 7-foot Cabela Saltstriker rod for stripers and blues in Long Island Sound. I've spooled it with 30-lb braid and fish with a 5-foot fluorocarbon 25-lb-test leader. It's got an exceptionally smooth drag and the oversized handle makes for an easy retrieve. It won't wear you out after a long day of casting. I like the combo because it's extremely sensitive; I have lots of fun fighting fish in the 2 to 12 lb category but it gives me confidence that I can handle something much bigger. The bait-running feature is interesting but I haven't had a chance to give it a fair test yet since 95 pc of my fishing is with artificials.
