Chad, If you want to and I know you have allot of gear already but take my P-533 slammed and a Torium 30 set up for surface iron. Both have a tad of spectra backing but if you reach the spectra casting your a gawd.
That free's up another bait reel or yoyo for other rods.
But to answer your question. I throw 50# mono for Yellow and Tunas with a tad of 65# solid spectra backing, for capacity and to save money on mono refills. Pack about a 1/4 spool. I would NOT throw a 338 at Lupe or the Yellow Islands, 50# + Yellows live at the Islands and 100# + Tunas at Lupe. A Torium 20,30, or 533 IMO if you want to get em.
Seeyah soon.
