I got a Penn 50tw NIB a few years back for less than $400. Granted, it looks like they don't even make the single speeds anymore. It's been a while since I got to fish offshore regularly. I would get the Tiagra if the prices were similar. For everything up to chasing really big Marlin, I think you can get away with 30's. I'd be super comfortable with 50's. I never really been on trips where 80's and up were needed.

We got spooled last July while fishing Ursa. We were pinned near the drill ship and couldn't back down on the fish. Whatever it was spooled us in less than 5 minutes....
