I didn't want to hijack the "show your boat" thread, so I'll start a new thread.

The Blue on the Avets has held up VERY well, showing no signs of wear. I really like the 30's but the 4/0 2-speeds have worked out so well, I am reluctant to get a larger reel. For the fishing we do, I can't see investing in 50's.

new to tuna fishing: Welcome so the sport. Its an exciting ride!
what brand of line is that on the avet
What you see in all of the above pictures are 4/0 2-speeds and 30's. These are what I would consider the Tuna battle wagons.
why avet over penn avet looks cool
I sold all of my Penn 50 2-speeds for Avet 4/0 2-speeds because I could get the same or better drag out of the box in a way smaller reel from the Avet. Ours are loaded with either 80 or 100# Power Pro and topped with about 250 feet of 65# Momoi Blue Diamond (breaks at about 90#).
is there a big difference between a 30 and a50
Yep, stop by a tackle shop and look at them both on a rod...
thanks for great info in other posts about tuna
I hope to post and read many more ...
