For Tarpon up to 150lbs we use 12wt rods with a large arbor reel. 12wt NRX with a Abel super 11/12 fly-tarpon bunny For Permit up to 50lbs we use a 10wt rod. 10wt NRX with a Tibor riptide reel. fly-merkin crab fly For Bonefish we use 8wt rods with 8wt Tibor Everglades reel. fly-any shrimp pattern Are there any other specs you would like? It gets really detailed when we go into line/leader setups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
