Mahi Mahi gear

2x what Gerry said.you have to use gear that will handle bigger fish while trolling inshore as sometimes they stray inshore.

Yep - that is the only reason to use heavier gear then you'd need for an average Mahi... You just never know and need to be prepared. I believe it was here on our site that someone reported catching a White Marlin in the Mudhole earlier this year. 20 to 30 pound gear is perfect for them too.

If you're sharking or targeting other larger Tuna like Longfin and Yellowfin then you should be using 30s and 50s.

yes sir,marlin,tuna,cobia,dolphin and wahoo have all been caught close to home.always have a heavier outfit on board just in case.throwing baits at pots is one thing but trolling them can be a whole new ball game.
