The 70 is a great stand up reel, I've got two, musta caught about 7 or 8 fish on those reels this year. can fish em just like the 50's theyre just a little bigger. tons of capacity, and just a bit more drag then the 50 if need be.
your on the right track with the idea, check out the fishermans outfitter.
I have a couple tiagra 80's, went with them over 50's. Not too big that you can't handle standup with them, and not too small that if you do get a big fish or are just being lazy you can stick it in the rod holder. Plus, an 80 works good as a planer reel also if you want one of those setups too.......
Cool, thanks for the feedback. I ended up going with the 70 thinking I can get a lot more line on the reel with a little more power-while at the same time I can keep fighting standup. I like our 130's but nothing matched the fun of catching that giant on the 50 so this was a good compromise.
Captain Eric hooked me up and it was a pleasure dealing with him. I checked out a couple local places but he had the best prices and he seemed more knowledgeable than most.
