Good advice given so far. I'll add that line capacity is not a huge deal. Bays are not too deep and halis are not going to run hard and spool you. I like lower gear ratio retrieve reels because I do not pump the rod when fighting halis but rather attempt to grind them smoothly to the surface. My all time favorite bay hali out fit was an 8' parabolic graphite allstar rod with a penn international bait caster. It had 30lb braid and used 12-15ln fluoro leaders. Mike
