M a ce....I have had the tarpon 120 for about 6 years now and mainly just use it in the rivers and lakes and love it! I beat it up pretty good each year dragging on shore around fallen trees and it has been great. When I am out front, I use a hobie revo and as far as fishing from a kayak goes, you can't beat a hobie. IMO

Good luck with the tarpon, I am sure you will love it !!

Hey Dan,

What's your preferred terminal tackle set up for those bait thieves? Line, leader material, etc...? I've lost quite i few rigs to pike over the past few years.

I use 15 lb. mono, and no leader material. I use a 25lb. rated wire swivel clip and go straight with the clip to the spinner bait. I don't fish with bait or with anything that has a treble hook. I had a few that were hooked deep when I started pike fishing and I don't ever want to take a chance of a deep hook with a treble again, for the pikes sake. 99% of my hook ups with a spinner bait are hooked in the lip for an easy release.
