snagged in outlet 3 Posted May 18, 2018 Posted May 18, 2018 Awesome!!! That's a bucket list fish for me. What weight rod?

There is no need for a 12. You also aren't blind casting to them its all sight fishing. The key is having the correct fly line (I recommend the SA Bigwater Taper as it has a 100lb core) Tarpon lines don't work well as they only have a 35lb core, and about 350+ yards of backing (Hatch 68lb because its the diameter of 20lb dacron) A good SW reel is also a must (Hatch 11+ or in this case an Abel SDS 11/12) snagged in outlet 3, BilletHead and Johnsfolly 2 1 There are two types of people.

snagged in outlet 3 Posted May 18, 2018 Posted May 18, 2018 I actually sold a 14 weight that never saw any action. Sold it to shark fisherman in southern California. motroutbum 1
