Thanks. Perfect timing , I have a reel and about to buy a rod specifically for Tarpon.

I've been soaking cork my whole life. Im only happy with thick cork in my hands.

Thanks for the info....I have a tarpon rod but it's over 15 years old and now Im looking for a new one but didnt really know what to look for.

Great informative video Thnk u… question what do u think about the new okuma silver slayer tarpon rod??

This is off the topic of tarpon but I hope you can give me advice on a surf rod for a fierce 3 6000? I’m a Texas hillbilly trying to learn about saltwater. Thanks.

Yooo, i was wondering what star rod closest to the camera was?

yes

Would a Penn Slammer IV 4500-6500 paired with the new Shimano Teramar 2022 X-Heavy Fast rod be okay for tarpon and other big fish?

I'm a kayak fisherman...and unless one comfortable standing in their kayak while casting, a 8' rod can be quite cumbersome to deal with while SITTING in a kayak. Not only cumbersome to cast; but, because most kayak fisherman have other gear sitting vertically in their yak...other rods, net, flag post, nautical light post; an 8' rod can be big trouble if your fish begins moving in circles around your yak. A 7' rod, with all the other specs you mention, would be a MUCH better choice. And as far as casting distance; you don't mention line size at all (I realize this is a video on rod spec); but good distance can be had with an appropriate, not too heavy or too large in diameter line. 30lb. braid (8lb mono equivalent diameter), plenty strong for the largest of Tarpon, will get you ALL the casting distance you need using a 7' rod.

What size spinning reel or casting reel do I need for tarpon fishing

What size reel would you pair the 8'+ rod with? 5000, 6000?

The difference in length between a 7 and 8 ft. rod is marginal. I mean we're talking about 0.98 ft. only ! You're telling me, that this tiny difference will make cast you more ? Lol !
