Thanks for the advice. It certainly won't be used often for tarpon - more often bull reds and sharks, plus the big jacks whenever they show up around here and the rare cobia. Tarpon are only going to be a fish that I have the will to target on my annual summer trip to Sarasota, Florida - which lasts a week, and we're lucky to come across any tarpon. Well, aside from the 5 footer that lives in between the two docks at my friend's grandparent's home. We haven't even hooked him in the three years we've been down there, for whatever reason he doesn't appear to have left that general spot. We're working on finding out to get him to take a bait, and we're going to rig up a system involving the heavy spinner and then a conventional rig - probably my upgraded 9/0 senator - sort of like what kingfishermen on the pier do. We'll winch him out of the heavy structure on the conventional setup (which after being upgraded has over 35 pounds of max drag), and then when he's in open water we'll break off the heavier line and fight him on the spinner.
