Re: Penn 12lt
I've never actually held a Penn 12LT but from the pictures I've found I think you have some options to make it VERY capable of handling canyon tuna.
You could spool it completely full of 30 or 40lb mono and pair it with a 20-60LB or so rod and fish it like that.
OR
You could spool it with 65LB braid with at least a 100yd topshot of 60LB mono and use a heavier rod.
Either option will handle most yellow or long fin tuna in the northeast canyons. The first option would be my choice however, it requires just a little more time and patience in battle.
I've gotten great service from Momoi Diamond Mono. It's diameter:breaking strength is the best I've found.
IMHO an 80 series is too big and heavy for this fat man to hold all night.
Have fun!
