Let's talk Tarpon reels... big tarpon

[Visco]

TRQS9B Penn. I have used these for sailfish, white marlin. I have never caught a tarpon, but then again I have never targeted them either. But my buddies that do fish for them have told me that the Penn is an awesome set-up. If you do not want to spend that kind of money then you can go with the SSV8500 or 9500 which is what I own.

The charter boat I was a deck hand on used the Torque series, I do not have that type of money so I stay with the spinfisher series.

Good luck
