My 2 cents with little big fish experience,
I would not put a $150+ spreader bar in the water on a 113H or even the 114H unless you don’t care if you are spooled. There are big fish out there and we are not allowed to choose the size we want. A few years back i barely landed a mere 65# tuna that chewed on my Rapala and smoked my cranked all the way 113H star drag! Luckily i had braid on it for capacity and because of the no stretch i felt how much pressure i could put on the fish to finally turn it.
On a budget, at a min i would at run a 115L that list only for $140 at least you have a good chance on returning your bar on a larger fish.
Run the 113H/114H with lures/cedars/daisies/GM. I like the braid allot(or a low stretch mono) and you will get used to it. It is actually a good thing when you need to put the pressure on the fish to turn it and the increased capacity, once you turn it you now have a chance. Also when using braid on these, they work nicely as ground fishing setups.
I really like the "spin" thing. Run and gun, firing plugs and small metal. I have the clunking proven Penn 9500SS on a slammer rod but my favorite is the smooth Shimano Speros on a Tsunami rod. Both running 80 lb power pro with top shot of Floro. If mostly small fish breaking, i will also troll these with surface stuff.
I also started the "jig" thing last Sun which i really like also, but not many chances with any results ... yet. That is a Shimano Trinidad TN30(not sure if it is worth the money but got a great deal on it to refuse, but the Torium or Diawa Saltist are 1/2 the cost for good reviews) matched with the Trevala rod TVS58XXH. This setup is enjoyable light as a feather with 80lb powerpro with wind-on 80 floro leader that is rated for 80-200 braid!! The high speed on these reels is amazing at 6.2:1. I know the dogfish can believe it, they are in 300' of water one second, few seconds later all they remember is getting whacked it the head and seeing the letters "OUZO"?
Again, this is a killer setup for ground fishing also especially with the quick retrieve.
I have 2 Penn Int 50S to troll the large stuff and then if i care i mix in 2 113H with small stuff out of the gunnels and maybe one spinner off the top down the middle. Most of the times by myself but have my trusty Raymarine autopilot to keep stuff straight.
I guess my point is i decided to fish for these buggers the way i enjoy/gear i enjoy/gear reuse for other fish and at least spend the money on 2(or start with one) strong setups to give you a fighting chance against the big one, because many days it is just Tuna Wishing
...... good luck!
