Fellas,

I'm getting ready to spool up the reels for swording. Having heard so much about soft mouths, pull outs and the such, no more than 12-15lbs of drag at the fish and long, long runs makes me want to spool up with 50lb. It sounds like a guy could easily get spooled with the heavier weight. Given the soft mouths, is tear out not a bigger issue than break off? Bottom line then, in you seasoned guys opinion, is 50lb to light on the 50w's?

Thanks,
Reeltherapy
