Hello,
I want to put together a spinning outfit for superbraid line with about 50 pound breaking strength. This is not for giant trevally in exotic places but for tarpon in Florida, I just thought members of this board might be able to give good advice about tackle.
The lures I hope to cast are pretty light-probably between 1 and 3 of ounces. Casts would be between 30 and 60 feet.
1. Would a Penn 650 (750,850?) be adequate or do I need a fancier reel to handle the drag pressure of 10 to 15 pounds?
2. Where could I find a spinning rod that was heavy enough? If nothing like that is made off the rack, what are some blank and guide recommendations?
3. Are superbraids abrasion resistant? Are any clear? Do they cast as well as monofilament of the same diameter?
Thank you very much,
Bill
