how big are you looking to go then? if you give me specifics and price range, im sure i can find one or two for ya
i have seen people hook up with a lot of "big fish" on the skyway lately. some landed, of course most not, but what i havent seen is someone lose a fish with even just a 4/0 because they spooled out. if they lose it, its because of one of several human caused factors or the fish went around a piling, not too little line. Just something to consider. I wont even buy a 6/0 until I feel I actually need 675 yards intead of 475...

I have a brand new (Just Built) Harrington Imperial 5 with an Aftco Removable Butt and Big foot rollers Guides. This is a 7' true 80# IGFA Class rod. It can be fished with heavier line with no problems. This rod is a beast. It has a used 12/0 filled with heavy mono (probably 100# or heavier). The reel is in very good condition. I will sell the whole rig for $695 or depending on the condition of you 50 international we might be able to work a trade with some cash added on your part. I am not interested in the Diawa rod.
