A couple more question. Since I will be using Braid line should I use rollers or not. I have heard that the braid can get stuck between the roller and the frame, meaning an instant game over.
Then what about wind on leaders, are thay a good idea? With rollers or not? How do you attach the leaders, loop to loop, swivels, crimps????

Just say no....to rollers. Yes braid can and does get stuck between the roller and frame. Rollers are just another point of failure, and not needed for this type fishing. I haven't gotten into windons yet. For chuncking we use 5-8' of flouro for leader. For trolling we use 6-8' of mono, 120# for tuna. We use sampo snaps swivels trolling, and I prefer the small aussie ball bearing swivels on the chunk.

Battle for 1 hour? Are you kidding me? I'd have a stroke if it lasted over 20 minutes.
 After 15 I'm looking around to see who I can hand the rod off to

As of now, I welcome the thought of a one hour battle. I may not think so then but for now, BRING IT ON!!!!

Remember that tuna's are federally regulated and you need a special lic to catch them. Here is whats needed and a link to how to obtain a lic.
Regulated Atlantic tunas (Atlantic bluefin, yellowfin, skipjack, albacore, and bigeye tunas) Atlantic HMS Angling Permit (Recreational) Description All owners/operators of vessels fishing recreationally for and/or retaining regulated Atlantic Highly Migratory Species (Atlantic tunas, sharks, swordfish and billfish) in the Atlantic Ocean, including the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea, must obtain an Atlantic Highly Migratory Species (HMS) permit. Similar to Atlantic tunas permits, 2009 Atlantic HMS permits cost $16.00 and will be valid from the date of issuance through December 31, 2009. https://hmspermits.noaa.gov/PermitList.asp

Knowing my luck I will get caught so I plan on getting the permit.
