I don't know of a spinning reel with 50# of drag, so 50# line is overkill.
I'd stick with 20 or 25#, less chance of bending a shaft or busting spool.
Heavy 7 strand or single strand leader and a stout hook is all you need.
If it happens and if I get down, I'll be using a Penn 309 loaded with 40# mono on a 6' Penn Long Beach glass rod.Carl
