Nice looking rig.  I caught my first Sailfish in Cancun at 18 yrs old.  They sat me down in fighting chair and I used the charter boats big reel and broomsitck  rod to haul in the 80 lbs fish.  It was not fun.  I don't even rember the fish running out line.  My next Sailfish @ 130 lbs was years later in Cabo.  4/0 graphinte reel & MH rod.  Perfect combo for this fish.  No chair and played the fish for about 15 minutes.  What a world of difference.  The fish ran out line several time and jumped.  Being over tackled is worst to me than under tackled.  No thrill in being over tackeled.
