Please disregard the previous question I meant to say: Can this reel handle Yellowfin Tuna, Yellowtail, and bluefin Tuna in the 25lb-40lb range?

Keep in mind you trade off test for diameter, mono vs braid,Fluoro. Fill 1/3 to 2/3 with decent mono of whatever test. Finish with braid or flouro, leader as needed. You can get a lot of braid on most reels. More than you need.

Sure;If you use 80 lbs.braided line can handle anything you hook,I always use 80lbs.braided line in all my reels.No problem at all.

Haven't caught a 20 lb bass, but the reel has landed some fairly good sized salmon in fast water - hope that helps and good luck with that bass!

It can handle the weight, but barely fits my salt water rods. Gotta stagger the reels but its not a big deal.

I have been using the original one that come with the reel. It is a 0.41 mm. or 1/64''. The additional spool -not yet used is 0.29 or 1/128. Perhaps it wil not have that problema. If I ever change the line, I will use a max. of 12 lb. test. It is to fish for (Spanish) pavón or robalo, not more than 3 kgs.

Its an awesome reel to use, I have 6kg on the reel and use it when trolling for Albacore tuna .

This is more suited for trout and panfish. It can handle up to a 2 Lb bass no problem

As small as you'd like. It mostly depends on how light your rod is. However a super light rod with this heavier reel might be a bit unbalanced. However, I use this reel with 6lb. Line with a medium light rod an have caught 6 pound fish with no problems.

This size 60 with lever drag is a great reel for yellow tail and tuna up to 50 lbs. It holds more line and has a better drag than the Jigmaster. It is a nice reel for the price. I run a small charter operation and have 6 of these Squall reels in various sizes. They are used by both novice and experienced anglers with no issues.

I'm sorry, Lisa, I use my reel to catch 2-3 lb surf perch. I know they could handle a salmon, but don't know about bluefish. Good luck on your quest and catch a bunch!

Sorry to say, but this is a strong reel meant for Marine Fishing. Put some strong line on it and go after the big fish ! Keith S.

Go with the 6925, it has a 5.2:1 Gear Ratio, 7.2 oz weight and line capacity is 4/110, 6/90. I have this reel paired with a Fenwick HMX Ultra Light 7ft.Great combination!

I can not address your question properly, but, I use this reel for steelhead and salmon fishing in the Pacific Northwest, rivers and bays. I use 20 pound braided and I have not been spooled yet.

Yes, though the drag is not terribly robust and a long rod is necessary. If you are fishing offshore (and if you are fishing for tuna I imagine you must be) you may wish to consider a conventional reel with a stout, short boat rod. I use this reel on a 12' surf rod and there are few inshore fish I would think it can't handle. A 12' rod on a boat can be unwieldy. Tuna can burn up even a conventional reel drag and with a spinning reel the bail will create even more friction as will the guides. It's really not the best choice for offshore fishing but it could work.

I did go with Cedros 40 and it fits perfectly. The smaller reel has so much drag power that you can easily handle big fish with braid.

I would think it depends on how heavy the action of the rod is. I got the light action for trout fishing and was surprised at how large the reel was. I have a 7 foot rod.

I have several of these reels and use them for most of my fishing needs...I would use either the 8 or 10 pound reel...Not much difference on the reel-They are a tough breed.....Good fishing..

Possibly if you are talking about the 6000 reel which minimum test that can be put on is 25 pound test. Definitely NOT the smaller ones. If I am not mistaken, you can only spool up about 240 yards of 25# on this reel, less of course as you increase test. I suggest to visit a LOCAL fishing gear store (or Bass Pro Shops or the like), ask what they recommend and then try to find it on Amazon for better price.
