you will need a minimum of a 4000 sized daiwa to be able to have half a chance of stopping a 30kg tunarb85 wrote: Got a Daiwa revros combo at around the 8kg line weight. Nice rod and reel handles the vic Barra but don't think I would be game to try it on the tuna.
you can do them on the smaller reels, but you wont have enough line capacity or retrieval speed, you will be winding like mad :rofl:

Re: Blue fin tuna advice
Daiwa BG 4000 official figures are
5.4kg/240m, 6.4kg/190m. PE 2.5/300m, 3/250m
i have PE3 (30lb ) jbraid on mine so guessing about 250m, hopefully can stop something half decent with that.
