Sorry to bore all those none fisherman, BUT I got questions. I am going to throw a spinning rod in and was wondering what type or lb. test should I put on the reel? Do i need any type of leader? Mainly going to use if I see a bigger fish(Tarpon ect.)

Hire a guide and use his stuff. Usually very adequate. Why clutter up the overhead?

LIGHT SPIN TACKEL 8 TO 12 TEST FROM DOCK.. BUT THE PRICES ARE DIRT CHEAP TO GO OUT WITH A BOAT AND CAPT..AND CATCH ONE FISH AFTER ANOTHER LIKE ONLY $190 US HALF DAY WITH ALL THE GEAR SODA/WATER JUST SUPER DEALS IN SANPEDRO AND ONLY $255 FULL DAY AND ON ETHIER DAY YOU GET AND YOU GET TO EAT MANY DINERS FROM THE FISH THEY WILL FILETFOR YOU .. GREAT VALUE I USE CAPT BICHO RIVERO FISHINGSANPEDRO.COM I GO EACH MONTH WITH THE GUY.. SEE RAVE REVIEWS ON HIM FROM PEOPLE WHO JUST CAME BACK.... BUT THERE ARE SOME VERY GOOD GUIDES HERE AND ALL WILL WORK HARD TO GIVE YOU A ACTION PACKED DAY... AND YOU CAN SHARE A DAY OR TWO WITH OTHER PEOPLE AS PRICES ARE FOR BOAT NOT PERPERSON SO YOU CAN GO ON THIS BOARD AND ASK TO SHARE a day and split the cost . TIGHT LINES TO YOU AND GOOD FISHING GO LIVE THE DREAM AND ENJOY PARDISE...

cottage1,

For tarpon on spinning gear I would use no less that 20 lb test. If your reel does not have the capacity for 250+ yards of 20lb used braided backing (PowerPro spiderwire & etc) with a mono topshot. As for leader, tie right to the mono for tarpon. For bonefish scale it down to 8-12lb test.
