David et all, I am getting ready for my first Mexico trip and will also be chasing Yellow Fin Tuna later this summer off of the Columbia. I have a chance to buy a nice 12 Weight Sage RPLXi at a great price from a friend. It has limited use and should be a great rod. Given the price at half the Xi2 I don't see how I can go wrong. I am looking at the Redington Breakwater as the reel. I am curious about what you think of that combination. Would also appreciate your thoughts on the right line for this set up. Thanks, Steve
