If you’re fishing for Tarpon with lures and plugs, we suggested reels like the Abu-Garcia Ambassadeur 7000C or alike, loaded with at least 200 yards of 20lb mono or 30-50 lb braid. Leaders should be minimum 80-100lb mono.  A 7ft casting rod with a long handle works well. The rod can cast 2 oz lures or a little heavier, inflexible enough in the backbone to set the hook hard or walk the fish around the ship but have a soft enough tip to finesse a wild fish for an expanded time.
