All I require Lee is a Reel with Crazy Drag that can stop the biggest sharks. I really don't think I can hang on to A T-Rex 80 for long with a Giant fish trying to pull me in!

I keep forgetting you guys can't use Spectra and need line capacity.  The T-Rex 80 can be fished at lower drags for shore based fishing unless you want to mount a fighting chair on your truck.  I haven't seen a Raptor or T-Rex yet.
Shucks, they make a trx-80? That reel must be nuts!

You can use spectra all day you just have to know how, almost all of my reels have it. Everol 12/0s will hold 600yds of 200jb to 400yds of 200lb mono, and will make 55lbs or so at full with stock. I would like two of those and two makaira 50Ws
