[QUOTE="MSA, post: 496349, member: 193"] Soak your new line in a bucket of water over night, then spool it onto your reel TIGHT!!! that will keep it from cinching down into your spool when you have big fish on. Spray/soak your reels in aerosol dry silicone before you go do anything saltwater...even protects a pfleuger. I think you can still buy it at NAPA, blue & white can. Its not lube or oil, it goes on like wet alcohol, and dries quickly. Also works aweson on guns, and anything else you want to never rust or corrode. Any pier south of Palm Beach is infested with tarpon. 30lb braid with a 3+ foot 30lb fluro leader and a circle hook, no weight. keep a bucket with an aerator, catch whatever baitfish is around, usually 8" to 12" cigar minnows. tail or nose hook one and toss it out. having 3 people is best, one to hold your rod while you run down to the beach to land the tarpon and another to take photos, but you can do it with two. For distance you need a longer rod, and long rods usually dont come in travel sizes. I often buy a rod or two on location and just give em away when I leave......still waaay cheaper than hiring a guide. [/QUOTE]
