To actually catch it? Or to have fun catching it.

You could always just use 60 lb braid and reef it in

I'm trying to land the biggest land based Kingy record....but I feel it will take some time

I use 50lb braid with a 60lb leader... have landed Kingies land based now to 65cm ( Rats ) and only one to date but that is only because I switched to braid recently. Before I was on 30lb mono and got smoked everytime I hooked up, never able to land any!!

50lb braid was easy to land a kingy from land based...wear gloves though!!!!

Now I'm thinking to upgrade to 80lb braid and 200lb leader and go after a 200cm + Kingy... land based

You might need to move to NZ for that...
