Looking to do some tarpon fishing from a boat and want to know if 30 pound test with a 80 pound shock liter will do the trick. <br>Gonfishn!<br><br>

I only fished Tarpon one time, in Costa Rica, Great Fun…Great Fish.!!<br><br>We used 25 lb. line, the fish were 100 pound kine & the line was plenty strong, I might even think you could get away with lower.<br>`on a Penn 850 Spinner…[Wink]<br><br>As I remember, we used a 6 foot double on the main line for body chafe, & a shorter leader of 80 lb, it held onto a few for us.<br><br><br>If the fish will run smaller, go with lighter line & Have a <b>BLAST</b> with em..!<br><br>[Smile] <b><font color=red>Good Luck !!!</b></font color=red> [cool]<br><br>Dan<br>Stand Up!!!<br><br><A HREF="http://www.fishingkauai.com" target="_new"> Stand Up Fish`N Charters Kauai Hawai </A> <br>[Wink]
