Let's talk Tarpon reels... big tarpon

[michauxii]

Spent many years chasing tarpon in Florida.
There were some areas that the really big girls would inhabit.

I all ways depended on my CTE 700's, Tld 25's or big Thunnus spinners(I like the baitrunner feature).

A close friend of mine recently asked what reels should he buy for fishing the Golden Triangle. I told him what I've used, but was curious about the reels you fellers think would handle some of the truly giant tarpon.

What are to "go to" reels in SW Louisiana?
