Now for the next point.. (gonna ruffle some feathers) If you get spooled by a fish.. any fish... you did something really wrong.
Ok Don i will bite on this one, do you mean that using a TLD20 with 30lb line you would not be spooled by a 500#plus BFT? No experience but common sense would tell me that i do not have enough drag or fast enough boat to slow down that train!

If you are saying cut your line and you are not spooled i understand ... but technically i still say you were spooled!

Give us more detail on you plan if i have this wrong. If you are saying you should not get spooled on 50's and up, i agree
Yes Nick.. my bad.. if you take your 20's to the 100 line trolling for giants you will get spooled.. but I have more thoughts on that too.. but we need to break out the Ouzo and sit for a bit....
