Really depends totally on target species. 60lb is a good middle of the row poundage. That being said I wouldn't use my snapper reels for pulling/trolling. The abrasive reef/rigs tear line and doesn't make for a good trolling line thereafter.

It really depends on what size these Senators are. There is a big difference between a 4/0 and a 12/0. For a 4/0 I would use 40lb mono or 80lb braid (with some mono backing.).

Also, if the OP really wants to pull baits he should look at Shimano TLD's or other reels with a lever drag. It's possible to use a star drag for trolling but it sucks especially if the man on the reel is green.
