I own 2 of these & this is all you need for catching giant flatheads, Or blues. 80lb braided line, with 50lb fluorocarbon both from reaction tackle.
I will say that it takes away from the "fight" simply becuase it's a bit of an overkill. But, you won't have to worry about your rod breaking or reel not being able to pull them in. I took this picture because it's the only picture I have with a fish by my set-up. I've caught larger flatheads with same rod & reel setup.
