[QUOTE="Springtom, post: 1946659, member: 114753"] I have an older model Shimano Twin Power from probably the 90's that I bought on Ebay a few years ago for about $170. Last year I slayed 2 yellowfin tuna upwards to 50 pounds on it no problem. I was honestly a little worried about the drag, but it worked those fish easily. This is an 8000 series reel so not huge. I'm a big fan of top notch gear, even if its older and used. They are built to last. Now finding replacement parts will be tough, but I'll cross that bridge when I get there. Honestly just catching those 2 tuna paid for the reel and then some. I definitely suggest looking on Ebay/craigslist depending on your location for older top level pieces of kit.. just my 2 cents Thom [/QUOTE]
