Hi TY,
There's no doubt you can land 'em quicker on 130#, but first you've gotta get them to bite it!
I think you'll find bites easier to get with lighter line for a number of reasons. I wouldn't go heavier than 80# mono.
Use a good owner hook with the ring on it and just be careful not to throw any slack when you're stroking them!
I'm not sure exactly of the capacity when using line heavier than 50, but if you take the % difference in actual line diameter of what you're spooling on compared to the dia of 50# and apply it to the total it holds of 50 you'll be very close.
Good luck!
best,
