Can any of the Rod options handle Yellowfin Tuna, Yellowtail, and bluefin Tuna in the 25lb-40lb range?

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.

if you mean there is a rod to handle these numbers then i say yes but what this quiz has to do with the reel.

Are you surf fishing or boat fishing I have my DF100A on a 12 foot surf rod. The reel can handle most anything you hook. Your particular style of fishing will dictate the type of spinning rod you match it with

I think its a 5 weight rod , I have caught 16"and 18" Trout ,I don't think I would like to catch anything much larger on this rod, I have caught larger but not to often, if I was going surf fishing I think I would want a little larger rod like a 8 or 9 weight , then again it would depend on what was running . Hope this helps.

I don't see a problem but okiaya also has 30-80 rod, the same size but stiffer. The choice would really be determined by the targeted fish. If you are going for huge makos, marlin or big tuna I would use the 30-80 but for fish under 120 # I like the 30-50.

I have two of these rods. Short but strong....yesterday in the bay of Crystal River, Florida brought in a nice four pound Spanish Mackerel. The fish took two runs ripping line off reel, rod was fine. It's length does nor support long casts but excellent for accurate placement within twenty yards.

Like Capt Billy I use mine on downriggers for offshore king salmon and inland lake trout and kamloop fishing. 3 to 35+lb fish with up to 11" flashers and 4-6" spoons, hoochies and bait rigs work good. Not sure this is the best rod for smaller fish though.

Trout, pan fish and about anything else that will take a fly. I've caught up to 10 pound triploid trout so far! I personally like this rod.

Kingfish and spanish mackerel can and do hit the yellow line. See some slack in your line and reel it up with no resistance and get cut off leaving 50 dollars of line at the bottom of the ocean. Just something to think about depends on where you are fishing.. I would not use yellow down here on the Texas coast because of this reason.

I choose this reel because I only fish for crappie and bluegill, and this reel has the quick-fire. I use 6lb test line but this reel will hold 2 and 4lb test it will hold 270 feet of 2lb and 140 feet of 4lb also I get the rear drag for more control when I get a bigger fish on. I choose this reel because they no longer make the Solstace 1000rh. I have always use Shimano. I have caught some very large catfish and bass with no problem.

I recommend the 10lb on the Trio 30s and 12lb on the Trio 40s. Spider Wire Ultra Cast monofilament is a good choice of line. 12lb test has the diameter of 8lb test & the 10lb test has the diameter of 6lb test which increases casting distance. Reel size depends on species you are fishing for, 30s great for Bass, trout, etc. 40s is better for bigger fish 10-20lb fish, keep in mind 40s has a 20lb drag system. Hope this helps.

Yes, you can use 10lb test on it and land some big fish with it. I caught 3 20-21 inch large mouth bass last year. It was quite a fight for every one of them but the pole handled it very well. I was very pleased with the performance. Make sure your pole sections are seated tightly as they can sometimes get loose but I haven't had that happen but once. Good luck and Happy fishing!

Hi, this models come in two types; NTi C for casting and NTi S for spinning. The biggest caught with this rod is 4kg seabass. Good rod I like it, got 2 now.Happy fishing!Mohd

Yes, you can. I routinely use 80 lb line on mine with a 6/0 reel. This is a stout little rod, but a 14/0 reel is a lot of iron to mount on it. I don't know what you're trying to catch, but I would consider a heavier Okiaya rod for just a few dollars more if you need such a large reel.

Medium size spinning reel, something you can use 4-8 lb line on... this is the best rod I've ever owned

I have actually used this rod with 65 lb braid and successfully fished 120 fathoms (720 feet) for ehu. The rod performed great often pulling up multiple fish at once. The fish I was targeting weren't over 6lbs each and its a whole lotta work bringing um up from that depth, but the rod performed fine. Worth the money to me...hope that helps. Carl B. Maui, Hawaii

I guess for smaller bass. I would think anything over 3 poundsay break the rod

Nope, depending on what you're going after as to the pound test. The rod is light so you can't use a heavy line and target heavy (15lb. +) fish. I put 16 lb. test mono. and getting good results. Much heavier than that you're going to get a real reduction in casting distance and more rig shift with the current.

The 65 or 50 should work for you ,90 might be a little bit too heavy for your rod
