I personally have a 75 Pound Bluefin tuna that was caught in Ensenada on a TLD25 combo just like this (65lb powerpro and 50lb Berkley big game mono). We were targeting Bonito but just happened to hook up to a bluefin tuna unexpectedly and while it was a long-ish battle the reel and rod handled it just fine. Not to mention we have caught countless Bonito and California Yellow Tail on the same setup. While I have much nicer setups now like Talicas and Makaira reels for trolling but we always fall back to the TLD25 when we have new fishermen on the boat with us since risking a $1,000+ setup with a newbie isn't a great idea.
Only downside on the TLD series is the shorter handle so I upgraded mine with the longer handles sold online, otherwise they are solid entry level light trolling or live bait reels. They are NOT tuna reels but will certainly handle most gamefish.
