torium 30 for trolling

Hey guys i have a torium 30 and have used it once. Its got 600 yards of 50lb tufline and i originally bought it for land based sharking/bottom bouncing.I dont do that too often/barely ever so im thinking of turning it into a trolling reel, stripping the braid off and putting on mono, say 15kg.. Good idea or not ideal?

still good for landbased aswell i believe. any comments?
