    I’d say it would be ok as the reel, being a long cast surf reel, probably won’t have enough drag to be able to do any damage.

    More likely to damage the reel on a big fish.

    What’s the drag rating on that Cam?

    Yea I have never broken a rod on a fish....Auto up windows and clumsy gumboots have claimed a few tho. If you break a rod you are high sticking it.

    The 80p is to give a little margin in the current and rocks.
