short 80#s work really great for big fish.

turn the reel seat nuts up to the top of the threads so if you happen to ever drop the butts you do not damage the reel seat threads!

Now that is an awesome tip right there! It's the little things that can make such a difference!

BTW, like others have said get yourself some swivels and those set ups will be awesome!
