a 10ft ugly stik with an okuma av80a loaded with 17lb line is enough to handle big fish?

I know that the ugky stik rod is more than able to handle the big fish. I have caught several large red fish with it. As to the specific reel you mentioned, I use Okuma reels and am really pleased with them. I just don't use that particular one. hope it helps.

The boat is unbelievably stable- rough water- not an issue, the danger (to this boat) is up near the bank, rocks and other "sharps".... Fishing hooks as well.Rough water, it will handle it fine.For big water I would go 55ln MinnKota with biggest battery you can find, or. 3.5 horse Tohatsu outboard.Don't beach this boat, get out knee. High water and walk it in- I'm warning you... Otherwise its bulletproof...

It is good for the fish size up to 2feet at most. It will be quit thrilling if you really catch a big one having hard time toretrieve.If you expect bigger than that, you need one with larger spool and stronger drag like Abu 5000 or 6000 series.

I think it's a great all around reel. Not heavy enough for extra heavy fish but great for what you're talking about.

It is a little heavy. Don't know your usage but I would only ue i to target large fish in yhe surf, Striped Bass/ bull Drum. I use the 9 ft for schoolie fish in the surf

You bet. I use this reel on my 8 wt salmon fly rod and its great for salmon up to 15 # in heavy current. Idid find the smaller Okuma not adequate for 30# plus king salmon in heavy current. I did not get to test this larger reel on these big kings but think it might be up to the challenge. Since reels suitable can easily cost $300 plus. This reel is a bargain.

It can handle the weight, but barely fits my salt water rods. Gotta stagger the reels but its not a big deal.

Well if that fine seemingly "cheepo" Diawi DF100A Spinnng Reel was connected to a good quality fishing rod like a 6 or 7 ft boat rod too a 10' too 15' Shakespear Ugly Stick or an Amazon sold Okuma Fishing Rod I suspect one could catch and maybe land a 60LBS Shark!

I loaded the 8000 with 75 yds 17lb mono backing and 300 yds of power pro 50# and not quite full. I use it for tarpon

I have the CZ 12CS , which is much too large for freshwater. The 10 is also too heavy duty for freshwater unless you are going for #50-100 lb catfish

I haven't tied anything other than a fishing stringer but the fish combined were probably more that 5lbs. Normally any air adapter will work to get it full enough to finish off by blowing. I used and air matrice blower.

It is rated for up to 80 pounds however I see no reason why you could not use 100 LB line. I use 80 LB braided and have caught large halibut. Nice rod for the money.

It is a pretty good reel at 130 feet for grouper and amberjacks I do not know if it could hold up to tuna. Let me know if it works. I am quite happy with it so far

I fish the Ocuma 7-14 LB usingBucktails and Crappie jigs. 1/16 -1/2 ozGet a heavier rod for larger weight jigs

It all depends on the size of the tuna that show up. If you want to use a heavy line use a braided line with a mono backing. The line will b small diameter high lb weight. I keep 40 on mine works for me.

I use 14 - 17 lb test based on the rod and the target fish. ie steelhead or king salmon.

Depending on the line wieght and tackle you use you should be able to land a fish up to 30lbs or more however that will be quite a accomplishment. No doubt if you keep trying you will land the big one so good luck and happy fishing.
