heavy tackle questions

[bill_]

Any advice on fighting fish on 80 and 130 standup for someone used to using 60 standup ?
For instance, a harness, tricks, exercise, technique, ok to lean rod on rail or gunnel,...?

I use a fighting belt-the leather kind with the drawing of a broadbill on each side.
Slightly strong-bench 225 1 rep. Still, 1/2 hour to 45 min on 60 with drag tight and thumbs on spool seems strenuous.
The rods are all standups suitable for the line.

THOSE are young girls with 130 gear if you use the right harness and use it corectly its all you need if bridge fishing use the rail and sit on the butt of the rod like a seasaw and winch them in
